Multimodal metaphor combines elements of various modes (i.e. visual, written or auditory) and constitutes an attractive means of communication. The aim of the paper is to show that knowledge of metaphors should be taught in foreign language (FL) lessons along with the mother tongue. A pilot study on the effectiveness of the adoption of knowledge on metaphors in practical classes was conducted among students of English philology at the University of Bialystok. The issue was conducted by means of a specially designed Google survey and evaluation sheets. The paper presents some ways of introducing linguistic knowledge of metaphors to advanced FL learners. Furthermore, some practical class activities concerningmetaphor are proposed. Integratingmetaphor and practical exercises on metaphor in FL lessons broadens students’ linguistic knowledge. Developing metaphoric competence also enhances second language learners’ communicative ability, with a special emphasis on their metaphoric competence. Moreover, metaphor-based activities incite students’ analytical and critical thinking. Exercises on metaphors facilitate learners using the newly acquired knowledge in practice. Finally, adopting this approach contributes to promoting students’ autonomy and self-education.
