Why Poetry Is Important?
Vocabulary and Poetry
Vocabulary is crucial in learning a foreign language. A firm grasp on
vocabulary enables clear communication and understanding. Vocabulary is
central to language instruction, influencing course structure, grading,
materials, and learner perceptions of language difficulty.
Poetry enhances vocabulary and fosters love for literature. It's a beneficial
teaching resource in language schools, with theoretical focus on classroom
use. Benefits and drawbacks of poetry as a teaching tool are examined.

distinctive writing style, is a contentious topic among researchers and educators. It’s
argued that poetry, despite its unique linguistic features, is an appealing and useful tool
for teaching.

Poetry offers educational, affective, achievement, individual, stimulus, and skills development
value. It helps in grammar teaching, improves composition skills, and enhances fluency and
comprehension. However, poetic language can distort grammatical rules and deviate from
standard language norms.
Practical applications of poetry in language classrooms include various types of poetry like
picture poems. Criteria for selecting poems and tasks for different grade levels are provided.
