3. A poem as I can define it is a set of carefully selected words put
together in a musical frame to serve certain purposes such as
delivering a message. It is full of images, emotions and
sensations. It could be a painting drawn with words .
A poem is a piece of writing in which the words are chosen for
their beauty and sound and are carefully arranged, often in
short lines which rhyme” (Collins Cobuild, 2001)

4. Poetic language , in which poems are processed, is the most
significant , stylish and dignified use of a language .

7. According to Richard and Platt (1985, p. 167), linguistics is "the
study of language as a system of human communication".
Linguistics is the science that studies language
poetry is the art of employing language in serving certain
purposes and creating images using poetic language
therefore linguistic and poetry are inseparable .
there is a strong bond, if we might say, between poetry and
linguistics because language is the tool that is used to compose
a poem or it is the container that poets choose their vocabulary
from.
A poet therefore should have a unique sense and command of the
language.
A poem is not only a number of words put together ; a poet should
take the linguistic aspects into consideration and the way the
elements of language are used,

environment or the subject you intend to teach.
2-Practice reciting the poem, feel the music the rhyme and the rhythm

the emotions of your students even if they don’t understand the
meaning of certain words.

enables weak students to comprehend the poem and feel its music.
They will be captured by the beat.

13. 5- Make your students repeat the poem over and over. At first there will
some chaos so you need to play the role of a maestro because student
will not be able to recite as a group they need time to work on one scale
and in harmony once they did so you will enjoy it so much.
6- After you make sure that most if not all you students interacted with
the poem, present the poem on the board and ask your students to
underline the words that they don’t know their meanings.

14. 7- You might rap the poem or even sing it or you can ask some of your students
to do so. This will make the poem more exciting and accessible especially for
weak students.
8- Ask your students about the images that the poem has and whether they can
paint them.
9- Ask students about their favorite verse or line and why they liked it, and then
ask them to write their pinion in the poem.
10 – Make your students repeat the poem as a group every time you go in to the
classroom until you move to another subject .This will bridge the gap between
students and the targeted language because the tone of the language will be
stored in their memories .Every time they hear the language ,they will be able to
distinguish it.

Conclusion
Poetry reveals the beauty and the strength of any
language ,so if need our children to be fluent we
should teach them poetry. Arabs used to send their
children to the desert to learn fluency as well as
accuracy from the native inhabitants of the desert
who mastered the Arabic language instinctively.
Therefore English is not an exception . Its true that
it is not possible to send all our students to the
USA or the United Kingdom to learn English from
native speakers ,but we ,for sure, can bring the
language to them through several ways and poetry
is one of them
