Abstract
In this paper, the author presents a rationale and offers suggestions for
why personification and apostrophe, as main figures of speech, could be
used in the EFL classroom as well as how teachers and/or teachers in
training might use them to enhance understanding and appreciating
English poetry, in other words, to facilitate learning. First the researcher
defines the two figures, giving examples, and then the function of both
figures would be stated. The author makes a survey of the methods of
teaching personification and apostrophe in English poetry. A list of
accessible personification and apostrophe resources is shared at the end.
