The Poetic Path to Language Learning offers a transformative approach to English language education by integrating poetry, humanistic pedagogy, and intercultural dialogue. Designed for multicultural and post-conflict learning environments, this book provides teachers with theoretical insight, practical strategies, and ready-to-use lesson plans inspired by literature. It invites educators to see poetry not merely as a text, but as a bridge connecting languages, emotions, memories, and cultures. Combining emotional literacy with global citizenship education, this volume positions literature as a powerful tool for healing, empathy, and communicative growth in today's EFL classrooms.
