Sat, 29 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The research conducted at MRD English Care Jogjakarta focused on recent graduates or university students aiming to improve their English-speaking skills for work or further studies. Utilizing a qualitative method with a narrative research design, the study sought in-depth insights into how students responded to literary materials during the course. The primary goal was to cultivate understanding and interest in literature among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners at MRD English Care Jogjakarta. The incorporation of literature, particularly poetry, in EFL classes is increasingly vital as a learning strategy. This approach not only deepens language understanding but also stimulates motivation. Literature, including poetry, has proven effective in enhancing students' language skills, critical thinking, and creativity. This aligns with various learning theories such as behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, as well as literary and poetry theories like formalism, structuralism, Marxism, feminism, and postcolonialism. These theories collectively contribute to improving students' linguistic, critical, creative, and affective skills. Literary theory, encompassing formalism, structuralism, Marxism, feminism, and postcolonialism, elucidates the nature, function, and meaning of literature and how poetry reflects these theories. Poetry showcases the beauty and uniqueness of the English language through creative use of words, sound, and meaning, aligning with formalism and structuralism. It also mirrors Marxism by criticizing societal injustices, reflects feminism by advocating for women's rights, and addresses postcolonialism by illustrating the identity, culture, and history in the face of colonial influences. In conclusion, the research suggests that incorporating literature, especially poetry, into EFL courses significantly contributes to enhancing students' motivation and proficiency in learning English. It is recommended that educators continue to explore and utilize literature, particularly poetry, as a valuable tool for language learning and motivation in EFL classrooms.
