Connotative Definitions: Free Verse Poetry as L2 Writing Resource

Type:

Generic Work

Description/Abstract:

This demonstration focuses on using free verse poetry to strengthen L2 writers’ interpretive and invention skills. Drawing on the recent “translingual” turn, it explores poetry as a bridge to academic writing for language learners. Participants will read a short contemporary poem and compose their own “connotative definition,” using brainstorming exercises.
