Poetry, with its intricate blend of language, imagery, and emotion, occupies a unique place in the
curriculum of secondary education. While it offers a profound opportunity for students to explore
creativity and language, its teaching presents significant challenges to educators. This thesis
explores the multifaceted difficulties encountered by teachers of secondary education in
effectively imparting the appreciation and understanding of poetry to their students.
The teaching of poetry demands more than the mere transmission of literary devices and
structural analysis; it necessitates a delicate balance of technical instruction and fostering
emotional engagement. This dual challenge often leaves educators grappling with questions of
how best to engage diverse student interests and learning styles while meeting curriculum
demands. Moreover, the dynamic nature of contemporary classrooms, characterized by varying
levels of literacy and cultural backgrounds, further complicates the task.
This thesis aims to identify and analyze these challenges comprehensively. By delving into the
pedagogical strategies employed by teachers, examining the impact of standardized testing on
poetry education, and exploring the role of technology in modern classrooms, this research seeks
to illuminate both the barriers to effective poetry instruction and potential pathways toward
improvement.
Through an exploration of current literature, interviews with educators, and case studies of
classroom practices, this study aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the complex
landscape surrounding poetry education in secondary schools. By doing so, it endeavors to
contribute to the ongoing discourse on enhancing literary education, ultimately aiming to equip
teachers with the tools necessary to inspire a lifelong appreciation for poetry among their
students.
In essence, this thesis seeks to uncover not only the challenges faced by secondary-level teachers
in teaching poetry but also the strategies that can foster a deeper understanding and appreciation
of this rich literary form among students.
