Resum
[eng] This Master’s Thesis aims to determine whether poetry can be a useful material for teaching vocabulary in English as a foreign language (EFL) lessons. This is why a study was conducted with a group of EFL adult learners, who completed a poetry-based activity that targeted 12 lexical items. Students were administered two tests to measure the evolution of their knowledge of these items. The hypothesis was that, after the implementation, the test results would show an improvement in their lexicon. Furthermore, the participants answered a questionnaire about their views on the poetry activity. The results show that the participants’ knowledge of the items increased by 64%, which confirms the hypothesis. Regarding the questionnaires, most learners found the activity both enjoyable and effective. While learners certainly improved after the implementation, the methodology had some shortcomings, such as the lack of a control group and the polysemy of certain lexical items, which limit its conclusions. Therefore, more thorough research is needed to determine whether poetry can be an aid to vocabulary acquisition or not.
