摘要：The aim of this article is to present how poetry may be taught in English classroom to develop learner’s knowledge of English language. Poetry can be used to teach structure, grammar and vocabulary. Aside from these benefits, using poetry to teach English can also promote creativity and a more positive learning environment. This paper examines in detail the three most influential items in teaching poetry: Literary Language, Literary Competence, and Deviation of Language. Sarac (2003) explains the educational benefits of poetry: a) provides readers with a different viewpoint towards language use by going beyond the known usages and rules of grammar, syntax, and vocabulary. b) triggers unmotivated readers owing to being so open to explorations and different interpretations. c) evokes feelings and thoughts in heart and in mind. d) makes students familiar with figures of speech ( i.e. simile, metaphor, irony, personification, imagery, etc.) due to their being a part of daily language use.
