Keywords:
Teaching Techniques, Poetry Education, Language Skills, Multimedia IntegrationAbstract
This study examines how different teaching methods, such as dramatisation, mind mapping, multimedia integration, and reading and performing poetry aloud, can improve students' language proficiency and appreciation of poetry in language classes. The research emphasises the advantages of various teaching approaches and multimedia resources in fostering active engagement with the material, catering to different learning styles, and improving overall learning outcomes. It does this by drawing on a thorough review of the body of existing literature and an analysis of the study's findings. The findings have important ramifications for educators, those who create curricula, and academics working in the fields of poetry education and language teaching. They provide information on how to create pedagogical practises that are more inclusive and successful. Additionally, this paper offers suggestions for further study and application, highlighting the significance of adopting a flexible and student-centered approach to teaching poetry, integrating emerging technologies, and prioritizing the inclusion of poetry as a core component of language education.
