B.Ed. compulsory English course. I adopted random sampling procedure to select
the campuses and teachers concerned. Sample checklists and questionnaires were
used as the tools for data collection. The main finding of this research was that the
teachers' problems related to teaching poetry in B.Ed. level are common are lack
of materials about foreign writer and also about literature, use of old language
forms, no background information and clues, lack of language about foreign
lecturer. It is however recommended some remedial measures for the problem.

class. Chapter two deals with methodology. It includes sources of data, sampling
procedure, tools for data collection, process of data collection and limitations of
