This article attempts to showcase a number of techniques to teach poetic writing skills in EFL settings. First and foremost, we have tried to identify and propose corrective attitudes to work out the psychological obstacles that impede the practice of poetry in many EFL classrooms. Then, we have selected some basic characteristics of poetic discourse through lyric songs to increase learners’ awareness of the specificities of poetry. The mastery of the structure and functioning of figurative language has been the essential skill to develop. Furthermore, the technique privileges the process-oriented approach which is based on well-structured, harmonious and interrelated phases to help learners start composing simple verses and poems.

Storytelling has obvious benefits in the development of speaking and listening skills, vocabulary andmemory abilities. It also nurtures reading and writing skills and offers learners opportunities to increase theirconfidence. Given the great value in employing storytelling as a support when learning a foreign language,I decided to use this technique with one of my adult EFL classrooms and observe the benefits and possibleconstraints. This paper presents the theoretical foundations that underlie my pedagogical innovation as wellas the results obtained from its implementation. In addition, valuable reflections invite teachers to integratestorytelling into their English lessons and explore their use with adult learners.
