| description | Empirical studies have shown the occasional use of L1 by both teachers and students could
create a peaceful environment for better leaning and help in overcoming the affective barriers of
learning and bringing out learning motivation (Cook, 2001; Tang, 2002; Wells, 1999). The present
study intends to investigate the effect of making Iranian intermediate EFL learners familiar with
Persian translation of English poems on learning these poems. To achieve this goal, some English
poems the difficulty level of whom was appropriate to the participants of the study were translated to
Persian by the researcher. 60 EFL learners, identical in terms of their English proficiency level in one
of the foreign language institutes of Kerman city, were randomly selected and 30 members randomly
assigned to each group. The experimental group was taught both the English poems and the Persian
translation of these poems. The control group treatment was only the poems in English. At the end of
the semester, the two groups‟ grades in English poetry test were compared and by doing statistical
analysis, the effect of exposing the learners to the Persian translation on learning these English poems
was identified. Also, the relationship between English proficiency level and English poetry learning
was realized. |
