The paper made an initial attempt to discuss the characteristics and its role of “cognitive contrastive analysis” in foreign language teaching. The paper consists of two sections. The first section compares the differences between cognitive contrastive analysis and traditional contrastive analysis in terms of their theoretical basis, contrastive content, contrastive method, contrastive function and teaching method. The second section explains how cognitive contrastive analysis can be potentially used to facilitate foreign language teaching.
