101 WAYS OF TEACHING A POEM:
BRINGING POETRY INTO
LANGUAGE TEACHING
The day will offer participants a series of 30-minute workshops on using
poetry in English language teaching. The presenters will propose activities
designed to be used in various teaching contexts and which can be adapted
to a wide variety of language levels, from primary school learners to
language and literature students in higher education.
This is going to be a very dynamic, fun-packed day that we hope will
motivate teachers to bring poetry into their teaching practice and also
suggest to participants who already work with poems new ways of using
them for language learning. Each workshop will focus on classroom
activities allowing participants to go back to their teaching contexts with
some ideas about how to further explore poetry in ELT.
