Abstract

In recent years, foreign scholars represented by Forceville have extended the study of conceptual metaphor to the interdisciplinary multimodal research field, and put forward the multimodal metaphor theory, which has attracted the general attention of scholars in various research fields. The rapid development of multimodal metaphor theory in the context of new media has also promoted the new development of English teaching, especially English vocabulary. With the help of multimodal metaphor theory, this study implements multimodal metaphor teaching model on the basis of expounding metaphor and multimodal metaphor theory, in order to explore how to use multimodal metaphor teaching model in English idiom teaching. Multimodal metaphor is applied in English idiom teaching through integrating many modes such as graphics and text, body movements and so forth, can not only improve students’ interest in learning English idioms, but also enhance their metaphor recognition and understanding, so as to improve the learning effect.
