The aim of this course will be to help teachers gain confidence and insight into the richness of poetry in the belief that:
- as the themes of poetry are universal their students will be able to draw parallels between the emotions, situations and ideas in the poems and their own world by using current events or relatable experiences, fostering deeper engagement.
- poetry is the genre which offers the greatest interpretive freedom. Teachers can encourage students to embrace various perspectives, focusing on how different readers might find different meanings in the same lines.
- the conciseness of the poems will allow teachers to delve into their syntactic and lexical components in a short teaching period by breaking down dense passages into manageable chunks.
- the section provides students with a wide range of styles and themes, roughly covering poems written over four centuries.

A blend of text-oriented and reader-oriented approaches can create a dynamic and open-ended way for participants and their students to engage with poetry. This approach allows for both a deep analysis of the poem itself and the freedom to connect personally with the text.
Articles on the different poems will be recommended along the course.
