This article examines the pedagogical effectiveness of conceptual metaphors in teaching abstract English vocabulary to language learners. Based on cognitive linguistic theory, metaphors are grounded in human experience and conceptual structures, facilitating the comprehension of abstract concepts. The study’s findings indicate that metaphor-based instructional methods enhance learners’ understanding, contextual application, and long-term retention of abstract vocabulary. Compared to traditional vocabulary teaching approaches, this method provides a deeper engagement with semantic relationships and supports more meaningful conceptual learning.
