The Reality of Teaching Reading Comprehension of Lyric Poetry Texts in High Schools in Vietnam

Abstract

In recent years, teaching Literature in the direction of developing learners' capacity has become the main teaching concept in high schools in Vietnam. This article poses the problem of researching the current situation of teaching reading comprehension of lyric poetry texts in middle and high schools by using sociological survey method and statistical method in subjects of teachers and high school students nationwide. The obtained research results confirm the clear perceptions of teachers and students in teaching reading comprehension activities of lyric poetry. However, the case of effectively exploiting linguistic elements in teaching reading comprehension of lyric poetry still has limitations to be overcome. From this situation, teachers of literature in general and poetry in particular aim to establish effective processes and strategies for teaching reading and understanding of lyrical poetry.
