The Model Of Using Music Of Poetry In The Process Of Learning Persian Language

Among different approaches and materials for language acquisition and instruction are classical literary texts which have been substantially used as a language teaching tool in various parts of the world. Music of poetry is another tool that has been adopted in the past and present to learn educational subjects and materials in versified formats, based on this, it seems that on the one hand, teaching Persian language through ancient texts is an effective method with a long history, and on the other hand, using rhyme to teach general knowledge, which is a facilitating method in education. It is thus purported that versified writings are potential to facilitate and reinforce learning Persian language. Despite the significance of such like texts, their application and impact on learning Persian language have been unappreciated. Considering the significance of literature and the impact of music of poetry in language teaching and learning, this research presents a model for the application of versified literary texts and music of poetry in Persian language acquisition and instruction. The model, designed based on theoretical findings, is threefold: types of music of poetry, poetry themes, and communicative language teaching (CLT) steps of pre-reading, reading, and post-reading activities. The proposed model is a three-stage process to teach Persian language using music of poetry adjusted to different age groups and levels of language knowledge.
