PREPOSITIONS: A COGNITIVE LINGUISTIC APPROACH” for the degree of Doctor of Education, is the result of my own research, except where otherwise acknowledged, and that this thesis has not been submitted for a higher degree at any other institution To the best of my knowledge, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by other people except where the reference is made in the thesis itself Hue, ……………………………, 2019 Author’s signature Bùi Phú Hưng i ABSTRACT The present study aimed to investigate the effects of applying cognitive linguistics (CL) to teaching the spatial and metaphorical senses of English prepositions above, among, at, behind, beside, between, in, in front of, on and under It made attempts to apply the basic concepts in cognitive linguistics, including embodiment theory, image schemas theory, conceptual metaphor theory and domain mapping theory Also, the integrated text and picture comprehension (ITPC) model was applied to frame the instructions and practice tasks A pretestposttest between-group research design was adopted The results of the pretest and pre-questionnaire were used to select student participants who were then divided into two different groups: cognitive group and traditional group The findings revealed that the cognitive group (M=27.00) significantly outperformed the traditional group (M=22.36) in the posttest in terms of both the spatial and metaphorical meanings The cognitive group participants also responded that they appreciated the CL-based teaching of the prepositions more than the pedagogical applications which their former teachers had previously applied in terms of both the spatial and metaphorical meanings Six out of 25 cognitive members responded that the teacher should have added something fun to make the class more interested in the lesson Most of the participants believed that CL-based teaching was appropriate and admitted that CL-based teaching had more positive effects on their knowledge of the spatial meanings than that of the metaphorical meanings The findings suggest that future studies and practices in ELT which would like to apply cognitive linguistics in EFL (English as a foreign language) classroom could include songs or games in the post-teaching stage to make the class more interesting Future research could also apply cognitive linguistics to teaching other prepositions in other contexts and employ a delayed posttest to measure EFL students’ retention of knowledge ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS To conduct this doctoral thesis, I received much guidance and assistance from my supervisors, the academic panel at Hue University of Foreign Languages – Hue University, friends and students First of all, my great sincere thanks would go to my supervisors, Assoc Prof Dr Truong Vien at Hue University and Assoc Prof Dr Nguyen Ngoc Vu at Ho Chi Minh City University of Education They constantly motivated me to complete this thesis punctually and gave me great advice on how to conduct this doctoral thesis I really appreciated their supervision with theoretical background in cognitive linguistics I also owe thanks to Assoc Prof Dr Tran Van Phuoc, Assoc Prof Dr Le Pham Hoai Huong, Assoc Prof Dr Pham Thi Hong Nhung, Dr Ton Nu Nhu Huong, Dr Truong Bach Le and other academic panelists at University of Foreign Languages – Hue University for their advice on every single stage of conducting this doctoral dissertation I am very grateful to all the teachers and student participants for their assistance with participating in this study Without them, there would have been no chance for this PhD thesis to be completed My appreciation is extended to my family and friends for their support They recommended large resources of materials and shared my cheers and stress from this thesis iii ABBREVIATIONS CL: cognitive linguistics CG: cognitive group EFL: English as a foreign language ELT: English language teaching GPA: grade point average ITPC model: integrated text
