Theoretical and methodical aspects of teaching and identification of figurative speech while reading literary text

Abstract

The study of literary theory in school is inseparably connected with the teaching of literature itself. From the primary grades, students should, in parallel with the program material on literature, familiarize themselves with the elements and specifics of expressive speech, with the means of figurative thinking, and also understand literary terms, etc. Students find it difficult to find and identify certain figurative means of expression, mainly comparisons and epithets, and they also do not distinguish epithets from metaphors. You can achieve the desired result by applying a variety of strategies and activities in learning. You must remember that it is important to be able not only to memorize and repeat the types of trope mechanically, but their practical application must be taught to find, identify and determine their functions and meaning in the text.
