dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study is to understand university preparatory classstudents' mental images about their English language instructors through metaphors.With regard to this aim, 148 students enrolled in 16 different programs wererequired to write metaphors on the metaphor elicitation task including the statement\"my English instructor is like........................because.................................\". Metaphoranalysis technique including naming, elimination, deciding unit of analysis,categorization, quantitative analysis of data was employed for the analysis. 153metaphors were sorted into 9 conceptual themes. While ‘teacher as nurturer’ was theleading category with 40 metaphors, ‘teacher as someone good-hearted’ followed itwith 37 metaphors. It was seen that male participants emphasized good-heartednature of language instructors and their ability to provide knowledge whereas femaleparticipants focused on their teachers’ nurturer side. A closer interaction between theinstructors and students could be attributed to the reason why students mostly hadpositive views concerning their language instructors.
