An Inquiry into the Boholano Poems Used in Teaching SHS English: Strategies and Issues
Ariel Rosales | Rosalina Sarabosing
Discipline: Education
Abstract:
Teaching poetry in Senior High School English poses challenges due to its abstract nature. This study explores
strategies and issues teachers encounter using Boholano poems through a descriptive qualitative approach. While
contextualization in teaching exists, it's limited to two materials, hindering comprehensive engagement. Students,
especially those with reading difficulties, face difficulty deciphering poetic language, impacting their learning.
Collaborative and reflective strategies are crucial in enhancing student engagement and understanding.
Recommendations include diversifying materials and providing support for learners with reading difficulties. A
developed pedagogical framework emphasizes the importance of relevant professional development for teachers. This
study underscores the need for engaging students in group work and reflection to foster critical thinking and analysis
in learning Boholano poems. Future research could focus on expanding contextualization efforts and exploring
innovative teaching approaches to further enhance student learning outcomes in poetry instruction.
