It mainly deals with the English listening on the basis of metcognition, the practice of cognitive linguistics in oral English learning, the practice of cognitive linguistics in English reading, the learning strategy of English writing on the basis of cognitive linguistics and the practice of cognitive linguistics in English translation. The paper draws the conclusion that in any aspects of English learning, i.e. listening, speaking, reading, writing and translating, cognitive linguistics could be practiced. When cognitive linguistics is applied in English learning, the learners can break through the bottlenecks of college English study.展开更多

Linguistics defines the nature of language learning in connection with various linguistic theories therefore it helps the teachers to choose teaching methods and techniques. Furthermore, the process of linguistic study can be summarized as follows: First, certain linguistic facts are observed, which are found to display some similarities and generalizations, hypotheses are formulated to account for these facts; and then make sure these hypotheses; finally a rule of linguistics is constructed. Our students are doing the same. They imitated what the teacher did and did what the teacher told them to. At last, they bear the usage of English in minds.展开更多
