Abstract

The use of poetry in EFL/ESL instruction can provide learners with an opportunity for meaning-filled engagement with English language texts along with integrated development of all four language skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Such a holistic and integrated instructional approach has a strongly grounded rationale for support. An instructional unit with specific texts and a teaching guide offers an illustration of the practicality and advantages of this kind of English language pedagogy in the EFL/ESL classroom for students from low intermediate level.
