Resumen
[ES] Este trabajo se centra en el uso de la poesía para enseñar inglés. La integración
de la literatura, y en especial de la poesía, en la programación del inglés tiene
numerosas ventajas cuando se trata de enseñar inglés a adolescentes. En primer lugar,
los poemas son materiales auténticos y por su brevedad, son más fáciles de leer que
cualquier otro texto literario. En segundo lugar, forman parte de la cultura inglesa y su
lectura puede enriquecer el conocimiento de los alumnos sobre la literatura y la
historia inglesa. Asimismo, los poemas son realmente útiles para enseñar estructuras
gramaticales y vocabulario, además de para practicar las diferentes destrezas. Por
último, el uso de la poesía en el aula puede hacer que aumente la motivación haciendo
el proceso de aprendizaje más efectivo. Aunque la lectura de poemas pueda parecer
difícil cuando se trata de estudiantes de ingles que tienen niveles bajos o medios, la
mayor parte de las dificultades pueden ser solventadas si se aplica la metodología
apropiada y si se eligen los poemas de una manera adecuada.
