Language learning is one of the indispensable elements that children of all ages and levels encounter and multilingualism becomes widespread. This need arises in all kinds of interactions of countries with other countries. In addition, studies show that learning a new language helps to understand the world, remove cultural barriers, acquire tolerance, and gain new learning skills.
Everyone’s way of learning a foreign language is unique. Due to limited opportunities in schools, teachers try to be efficient in providing education services specific to each child. However, these methods do not appeal to children above the average level. Because the programs prepared for gifted children who are two years older than their peers are easy enough to watch without much effort. The talents of these children should not be abused, and education should be provided for their interests and needs. Training at the level of memorization and knowledge transfer may cause a decline in their intellectual skills and creativity potential. Increasing educational opportunities for gifted children is an important need. For this reason, it is extremely important for them to learn the foreign language that they will need in their long-term studies, in ways that are different from the monotonous traditional methods and in which they can use their special talents and creativity. Beyond traditional methods for these students methods can be given importance to use their creativity. One of them is the metaphor method they use to achieve high-level educational goals. This method enables the new information to establish relations by finding similarities with the previously known old information and thus helps to explain it concretely. It has been one of the fields of study of science, where it can be ideal for topics that involve different levels of meaning such as similarity and paradox, and related learning.
The fact that the method used in the learning of the gifted child is interesting will lead the student to active learning and will enable them to obtain permanent learning based on experiences. Therefore, the metaphor method will provide the necessary support for high-level learning by activating creativity.
