Abstract	Poetry performance is an approach to learning where students can use theatrical techniques to develop a response to the poem. This paper argues that ELL students can explore the aesthetic function of language and, more widely, develop confidence in using English as a communicative tool through the dramatization of poetry. We describe the process we have used to take a poem from the page to the stage and provide examples for ELL teachers to use this creative approach in their classrooms. (Contains 1 footnote.)
