Abstract

This paper aims at discussing the pros and cons of using poetical works or poetry in the language classroom. There is an attempt made to justify the use of poetry in language teaching by throwing some light on the existing debate surrounding the issue. It will also try to demonstrate how poetry may be effectively used in the class to help develop a learner's speaking ability through discussion activities.
