TEACHING POETRY WITH MULTIMEDIA MATERIALS: TENNYSON'S "THE LADY OF SHALLOT"
Journal Title: Novitas-ROYAL (Research on Youth and Language) - Year 2012, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Despite the contention regarding its suitability as foreign language teaching content, literature has begun to regain its popularity as many researchers argue that it can be viable communicative material. The current study consists of three parts. First, it discusses how literature can be used as content in communicative EFL classrooms, with particular emphasis on the use of multimedia materials. Second, it presents a suggested lesson plan for approaching Tennyson's poem The Lady of Shallot by making use of the available images and music with the aim of developing the language skills of a group of Turkish prospective EFL teachers while they try to understand the poem. Finally, it presents some of these students’ views on the lesson, which they made as contributions to a course blog set up by the course instructor/researcher.
