Abstract
English-medium-instruction (EMI hereafter) Universities pose several challenges to English Language Learners (ELLs hereafter) and language teaching and learning enterprise in the Middle-East. Learning language through poetry is one of them. Poetry can play a significant role in language learning in general and English poems can be used in the language classrooms for effective language learning for ELLs in the Middle East. The review of literature in the field of poetry teaching shows that a comprehensive practical approach to teaching poetry for facilitating language learning is missing and previous scholarship on the subject matter fails to chart out the right course of action in a language classroom for EMI universities in the Middle-East. This paper seeks to explore how contextualizing poetry teaching with a linguistically oriented model, with certain well-defined steps, offers an extensive variety of language learning opportunities to ELLs in the EMI universities in the Middle East.
