Specifics of Lyric Poetry as a Teaching Task

Summary/Abstract: Lyric poetry is a specific type of the texts, whose reading and understanding should be treated differently than epic texts, eventually information texts. For students and many teachers the poetry is the most difficult type of artistic texts they encounter in the lessons. This paper points to the connection between researches aimed at understanding poetry with the theory of pedagogical content knowledge and quality issues in the teaching of literature. We present an overview of foreign theoretical studies and researches focused on the issue of poetry, specifics of reading poetry and the way of its understanding. We show that the basic level of understanding poetry is similar despite considerable socio-cultural differences among readers because actual poetic art has a timeless character and touches the universal human themes. We note that this understanding takes place not at the rational, but emotional level. Through the emotions the pupils are able sometimes to achieve deep insight into the poem, without realizing it and were able to formulate it themselves.
