Abstract

A quantitative data analysis conducted on 230 Italian EFL students revealed that their metaphorical competence (MC) is inappropriate. In view of these findings, the development of MC, as crucial as linguistic and communicative ones, is fostered as a successful didactic methodology to improve the proficiency in the target language (TL).
