The main tenet of Cognitive Linguistics (CL) is that meaning emerges from the interaction between our body and the environment through our sensory-motor system. Thus, meaning is embodied (Lakoff & Johnson, 1999 Gibbs 2005 Johnson, 2007). Besides, language is considered in CL as part of our general cognitive capacity, that is, other types of cognition such as memory, perception and categorisation are also involved in language emergence (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980 [2003] Lakoff, 1987). CL offers not only a set of key concepts but also insights which can be translated into practical foreign language classroom activities and teaching strategies (Bellavia, 2007, Boers & Lindstromberg, 2008 Littlemore, 2009 Reif, 2012). The aim of this course is to introduce key concepts of CL and their relation to Foreign Language Teaching and Learning. Students will have the opportunity to analyse some classroom data and think up strategies to foster teaching and learning.
