Abstract
This qualitative study investigates what skills about writing narratives and metaphors are
particularly challenging for the university students in an Intermediate English class. The research
questions formulated for this study were: What happens when teachers incorporate metaphors
when teaching writing at the college level? How can we incorporate the use of metaphors in a
writing class at the college level? What are the pedagogical implications of teaching metaphors?
In order to answer these three research questions, data was collected with the help of a preassessment,
post-assessment, and student responses to open-ended questions. The results show
that students struggled with writing narratives and metaphors and therefore needed practice
within both. In accordance with these results, a thematic unit was designed to help students
improve their writing narratives and metaphor skills.
