    The Effectiveness of Using Conceptual Metaphor in Improving EFL Learners’ Performance in The English Language
    (2022-07) Juaatta, Saad Noaman Ahmed
    The Conceptual Metaphor (CM) is a relationship between source and target domains that maps into the exact meaning. (CM) improves EFL learners' performance and achievement in learning English and increases their ability to understand the words, idioms, and phrases in a foreign language. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the conceptual metaphor in boosting EFL students’ English language proficiency. This study uses an experimental design that selects a sample of sixty students from the 5th class in Al-Atyaf preparatory school for girls in Salahaddin governorate- Iraq, who chooses randomly, divides them into two groups: (A) with 30 students as an experimental group (EG), and (B) with 30 students as a control group (CG). The current study uses pre and post-test in data collection. In data analysis, this study uses SPSS and one-way ANOVA for statistical means. As shown by the findings of the present study that language learners have an easier time absorbing English metaphors if they are encouraged to explore metaphors in their home language and compare them to their English use and meanings. As a result, metaphors play a greater role in the learning and teaching of idiomatic idioms. Although, the meaning of idioms is not entirely predictable; there is some systematic logical reasoning for their meaning, as the great majority of idioms are predicated on conceptual analogies and metonyms. However, We must recognize that there are culturally dependent conceptual systems and that metaphors are pervasive in English language and so intimately tied to learning English. Finally, future studies should focus on conceptual metaphors and not neglect them because they are very important in our daily events and life.
