“…Literature with its multi-tiered content enables teachers to focus on only one skill or integrated skills within activities, tasks and exercises depending on the need analysis and the learning objectives. Arafah (2018) suggests varied types of teaching techniques which should be applied for using literature in EFL classes: analysing linguistic expressions, memorizing and producing to retell the story, completing lexical items, constructing a new story based on the current one, and transforming the literary work in another form (pp. 31-34).…”

ÖZ: Edebiyatın, yabancı dil öğretiminde çok fazla fırsat sunduğu genel olarak kabul edilse de İngiliz Dili Eğitimi'nde kullanılması tartışmalı bir konu olagelmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, edebiyatın ELT sınıflarına dahil edilmesinin yabancı dil derslerini daha yenilikçi bir rotaya yönlendirdiğini göstermektir. Edebiyat eleştirel düşünme becerilerini, yaratıcılığı ve öğrenci özerkliğini geliştirmek üzere tasarlanmış geleneksel ve dijital olarak desteklenen iletişimsel aktivitelerle dil gelişimini destekler. Bu bağlamda kısa öyküler, öğrenci dostu uzunlukları, dil kullanımındaki yaratıcılıkları, barındırdıkları edebi unsurlar, konu bakımından geniş bir yelpazeye sahip olmaları gibi avantajları nedeniyle çok sayıda olanak sağlarlar. Bu çalışmada, kuramı pratiğe adım adım bağlamak adına, edebiyat, dil ve anlam yapılandırması kavramlarının ele alınışı, metin seçimi ve yöntem ile ilgili eleştirel tartışmaların akabinde Ken Liu'nun The Paper Menagerie (Kağıt Hayvan Koleksiyonu) adlı kısa öyküsü üzerinde sınıf içi uygulamalar önerilmektedir. Tüm okuma aşamalarını kapsayan bu aktiviteler, öğretmenlerin müzakereye dayalı bir sınıf ortamı yaratırken öğrencilerle iş birliği içinde olası sorunların üstesinden gelmelerine yardımcı olmak için tasarlanmıştır. Bu makale, edebiyat, dil ve anlam yapılandırmasına dair kendi anlamlandırmalarını yapan iç görülü öğretmenlerin öğrencilerinin yabancı dilde bağımsız bir okur kimliği kazanırken edebiyat gibi zengin bir kaynağın sahiciliğinden ve yaratıcılığından istifade etmelerini sağlayabileceği sonucuna varır. Edebiyat, ELT sınıflarımızı 21. yy. gelişmelerini yakalayacak şekilde yenilememize olanak sunmaktadır.

This study focused on the lived experiences of Grade 9 English teachers and students when dealing with poetry through songs and calligrams in the selected private schools in Cabuyao and Calamba. This study was conducted to discover what were the experiences the teachers and students encountered when they dealt with poetry using the traditional method and then shifting to using songs and calligrams. The study used interpretative phenomenological analysis using qualitative research design. A validated self-made questionnaire was used during the multiple in-depth interviews with the participants to gather qualitative data in order to gather the difficulties, challenges, and how they coped when the participants experienced using songs and calligrams as well as traditional method in dealing with poetry. Qualitative data showed that the participants experienced difficulties when dealing with poetry using the traditional method during class discussion, unlike with songs and calligrams that showed how helpful it was for both participants. In addition, the participants' answers reveal that there was an improvement in the performance of the participants when songs and calligrams were used when they dealt with poetry. Despite these difficulties experienced by the participants, using a modern method such as songs and calligrams helped both participants to help them achieve performance progress compared to using the traditional method in dealing with poetry. The integration of both techniques in teaching and learning poetry will be helpful fo both teachers and students to achieve higher success of learning. For the output, a compendium of poems and songs was proposed.

“…They also read the text repeatedly with full use of the vocal ability and facial expression to give life to the story and presentation. According to Arafah (2018), such personal and repeated interaction with a text can lead to personal involvement, which is very useful to help learners to stay focus and increase concentration on speaking, writing, listening, and reading. He further concludes that; the whole process can have a very positive effect on the development language and language learning (Qannubi et al, 2018).…”

The ability to speak well in English has always been a challenging task among students from the rural areas. There are various types of materials that have been developed to improve student’s fluency to speak English, and Reader’s Theatre (RT) is one of them. A study was conducted using Readers Theatre to help students improve their oral and reading skills in English in a stress free workshop. The workshop was a combination of language and arts activities that combined language skills of speaking and reading to improve students’ performance. The workshop was conducted among students over a period of three weeks. A survey was carried out on the student’s perceived learning experience to speak and read English whilst taking part in Reader’s Theatre. The findings of the study show that Reader’s Theatre was a good tool to boost high school students’ motivation to speak clearly and confidently in English when they collaborated and interacted with their peers. However, it was not the aim of the present study to check if students spoke or read more English materials outside classroom as a result of Reader’s Theatre workshop.
