Students may be encouraged to engage in poetry writing as a source of learning,

Some schools already provide an extra lesson called English Writing to provide pupils
with supplemental materials for the English topic. However, some of them merely use
curriculum-based teaching approaches, as well as teachers that do not know how to expound in

SUMMARY
In this journal can be concluded that Poetry requires pupils to develop both receptive
and productive skills. It's a type of written communication that could be useful for improving
students' writing fluency and introducing them to the concept of communicating a message via
writing that needs interaction between the writer and the reader. It also allows for the
introduction of literature into the EFL classroom. It's similar to other types of writing in that

Teachers demonstrated a variety of tactics that they employ to encourage children to write

improve their vocabulary and reading skills. Using poetry in an EFL lesson, on the other hand,
can help students enhance their writing skills.
Learning occurs when simple parts are put together, which reveals the emergence of
concepts in poetry writing. The components include not only students and teachers, but also
physical and temporal environment properties such as temperature, weather, day/week/year,
and the locations where poetry writing activity is conducted. As a result, language acquisition
takes place at various levels of nestedness.
Poetry encourages EFL students to use figurative language, adjectivals, phrases, and
symbolic words to communicate their emotions in a natural way. They will readily learn
something if they hear, read, or write it rhytmically. As a result, the tactics are anticipated to
use poetry writing as a model for learning English, which may come from students' personal
experiences. It was supposed that there were any specific ways for using poetry writing as a
model for learning English.
This study suggests that poetry writing be used as a pedagogical practice of meaningful
literacy since it is an excellent technique to engage EFL students in the learning process. It's a
basic tash that allows students to express their personal thoughts in poetry and believe that the
end result is truly important to them.
CRITIC
In this journal I think there are some advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are
the first isa few new strategies we can learn to write the poem. This journal also explains how a
3. teacher knows a basic thing in his poem and also how the teacher teaches how to write his poem,
so it's very good for the newbies. Then some of the advantages also show how well defined the
format in this journal is, so we are not confused about the journal because it is neatly arranged
and sequential. And also seen in the journal is a lot of references to both the journal, the article
and the book. Some of the sources of literature have been published as well, so it is easy to find
another source, since it is clearly stated. From this journal too teachers can easily teaching
writing poetry because this journals already give the teachers new strategies to used. In this
journal used body note so we easily know the source than used footnote.
The disadvantages may be in a language that is difficult for students to understand, for
this journal is in scientific language and is also under advanced knowledge. There are some
advantages of this journal is tell how to increase the vocabulary , improve the writing and
reading skills and encourage students to think critically and creatively in analyzing a text. So
there are some words that are obviously difficult to understand, and then they make up difficult
language, so it detracts people's interest in reading this journal. At the results and discussion
section there are some pictures about poetry that has been written have a error because the
picture resolution is not clear. And at the other section I think the writer should give more
experience or examples about the difficulties from write the poems so the reader can compare
with the three strategies.
CONCLUSION
From this journal we can suggest that the submissive may greatly assist EFL students in
adding a new vocabulary and also selecting the right words according to circumstances and
feelings. Also in this journal there are many strategies that can be learned to motivate and
improve students in writing and learning learning, we can use the three strategies already
outlined in the journal.
Other Use as a source of content reading material, a model of creative language in use, a
technique to present vocabulary in context, and a way to focus students attention on English
pronunciation, rhytm, and stress are all reasons to use poetry in EFL teaching and learning.
Furthermore, poetry uses language to evoke and elevate specific aspects of life, as well as to
elicit emotional responses from readers. Poetry is one of the most effective and strong cultural
transmitters. Poems contain a large number of cultural characteristics, such as vocabularies,
idioms, and tones, which are difficult to translate into another language.
These journals can also encourage students to learn and think more deeply by bringing
their emotions and digging for yet another new language to write these entries. Petry writing was
unexpectedly warmly received by the students in the study, and they expressed a strong desire to
create poems for their english writing class.
When teaching poetry in an EFL classroom, students struggled to use the poetical word.
When presented with Indonesian poetry, students face a variety of challenges, the most common
4. of which being linguistcs and a lack of enthusiasm in poetry. As a result, kids became more
engaged and began to communicate with one another. Furthermore, the stylistic method is used
to solve one of the most difficult challenges in teaching poetry to EFL students.
It also allows for the introduction of literature into the EFL classroom. It's similar to other
types of writing in that it's a vital aspect of literature that may be utilized to teach cultural values
and literary appreciation to students while also improving their language abilities. As a creative
writing class requirement, EFL students' perceptions on poetry writing and the tactics they
utilized to successfully finish their poetry volumes. In contrast to popular belief, most EFL
students do not appreciate English poems and find them uninteresting.
