The purpose of the following paper is to present ways in which some premises of the cognitive theory of metaphor can be integrated into practical teaching of English to advanced adult non-academic learners. The objective underlying such an approach to teaching is increasing the learners’ comprehension of the L2 and developing their intercultural awareness. The paper will present two ideas of teaching integrated skills of speaking and writing and thus expanding learners’ vocabulary through a discussion of metaphors found in authentic materials (e.g. speeches, newspaper articles and books). Two sample lessons presented in the paper have already been used in the classroom by the author. The metaphors subject to analysis are orientational, structural and ontological. The theoretical framework comes from the seminal publication−Metaphors We Live By written by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson (1980)
