Abstract
It is hard to get learners to enjoy reading and discussing poetry in the EFL classroom. Multimodal visual poetry on the Internet video is a helper. It is an effective tool to energize the reading and appreciation of poems in the language classroom. This paper provides with an approach to Robert Frost’s poetry teaching, and suggestions for hands-on learning tasks.
