Abstract
This longitudinal study investigates the perceptions and experiences of Msila first year LMD students of English in poetry writing. The work also reflects the results of students’ experiences in a variety of classroom poetry writing activities. Our approach is based on observations of students’ poetry writing to reveal their difficulties in this activity so as to select and suggest ways of enhancing poetry writing. Hence, our work consists of Part A which highlights the fundamental principles in poetry writing and points to those selective teaching methods and material in use to enhance students’ creative writing. Part B presents and explains the notion that underlies the researcher’s various choices of all the research methodology and tools used to collect the needed information for this investigation. It also attempts to show our awareness to the limitations of the different methodological tools used to conduct this study. Part C gives an overview about how data were collected, interpreted, discussed and represented quantitatively and qualitatively. Students were subjected to different tests and observations. Hence, the analysis of the field work study data revealed positive attitudes about students attempting to produce good poetry writing through ABC, acrostic, free verse, quatrain, cinquain, concrete and colour poetry. Samples of good poetry were selected as evidence for progressive ongoing assessment. Part D pinpoints recommendations for improving comprehension and enjoyment in literature studies- this includes selective teaching and modelling of appropriate reading and writing strategies that improve critical and analytical thinking skills. It is also recommended that teaching and learning within a collaborative learning environment, fostering the development and exploration of peer ideas, and improving students’ background knowledge relevant to the understanding of poetry types with the intention to creatively enhance learners to produce fine poetry. The findings of this study reveal that lecturers have a significant role to play in helping students overcome barriers to understanding, interpreting and creatively writing poetry.
