Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to analyze how Kenneth Koch's poetry writing pedagogies can be applied and explored in Japanese High School EFL classrooms. Koch published Wishes, Lies and Dreams and Sleeping on the Wing on poetry writing pedagogies based on his experiences to teach students at public schools in NYC. In this study, Koch's writing pedagogies are introduced and analyzed to produce a teaching model for poetry writing which can be applied to Japanese High School EFL classrooms. Furthermore, his pedagogies are based on the process of being influenced by other poems or songs so that students can write poetry in their own subjective and autonomous way of learning. As a result, this research aims to exemplify English poetry writing in Japanese High School EFL classrooms as a suitable teaching practice toward subjective learning along with dialogical and in-depth learning as shown in the Course of Study as a part of the recent educational reform.
