Research on British and American Literature Teaching Based on Cognitive Poetics

Abstract

 The gradual implementation of the new curriculum reform has led to a particularly severe challenge in the teaching of English and American literature, which still adopts the traditional teaching mode. Interpretation of text is the focus of cognitive poetics, which can effectively combine people’s daily cognitive ability and literary ability, thus enlightening the teaching of British and American literature. Incorporating the concept of cognition into English and American literature textbooks can completely subvert the traditional evaluation and teaching mode in the past. It is also an effective way to improve students’ humanistic quality and improve the communication between students’ literary cognition and daily cognition experience.
