The "Pleasure" of Poetry Reading and Second Language Learning: A Response to David Hanauer.
Mattix, Micah
Applied Linguistics, v23 n4 p515-18 Dec 2002
The approach of task-based instruction is too narrow a theoretical framework to properly analyze the use of poetry in such a context. Argues that Hanauer's study contains a methodological error, which is due in part to the fact that the definition of a language-based task as an activity focusing on interpreting meaning and solving some sort of communication problem is unable to account for the aesthetic value of poetry.
