Teaching Poetry in Modern Languages Degree Programmes
Date: Tuesday 21 April 2009
Venue: University of Exeter
This event will bring together colleagues who teach poetry as part of a modern languages degree programme and will comprise a plenary address and a number of short presentations from colleagues who will share their own reflections on the challenges of teaching poetry. The aims of the day, therefore, are:
To share good practices and generate ideas relating to teaching poetry within modern languages curricula.
To galvanise and raise interest in, and enthusiasm for, teaching poetry.
To share and discuss problems and to explore what teaching techniques work and what do not.
To discuss teaching different forms of poetry (including, for example, song lyrics or rap).
