Abstract: The primary task of teaching a foreign language is to develop in students the ability to communicate successfully in an intercultural foreign language space. Currently, the central theme of many linguistic studies is metaphor, which is a fundamental mental process enabling the understanding of one field of knowledge through another. In the study of metaphor, metaphorical competence holds a special place, referring to the ability to comprehend and employ metaphors in oral and written speech. This article examines and analyzes the main scientific research dedicated to the issue of the content and significance of metaphorical competence. The purpose of this article is to describe the content of metaphorical competence in accordance with the objectives of teaching Spanish in a language university. For our research, we employed various methods, including theoretical analysis of scientific literature, study and synthesis of best practices, and the deductive method.
