Abstract
In this session, we'll discuss methods and possibilities of foreign language teaching based on the theories of conceptual metaphor, concept, domain, and frame in cognitive linguistics. In other words, the main idea of cognitive linguistics is to establish a conceptual structure of language within the framework of new trends in human language analysis, and language is one of the basic forms of human cognition. In addition, we'll share lesson plans we developed taking into account the learning style, culture, and national mentality of Mongolian students learning a foreign language using various types of exercises, and we'll make recommendations for students from other countries. In conclusion, we plan to achieve the goal of showing the importance of developing course content in foreign language teaching that takes into account cognitive skills and experience, especially in terms of regular lesson plans, curriculum, and types of exercises.
