IMAGERY MASTERY IN LEARNING POETRY BY USING
COMPETENCY-BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING (CBLT)
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. The Reason of Choosing the Topic
There are many methods or strategies which can be done to teach poetry such as the audio lingual, grammar translation method, communicative approach, etc. But, the strategy or method chosen by the writer is CBLT which stands for Competency Based Language Teaching.

In other word, poetry must be thought on the bases of each component which develops in the cremantal that is the teaching of poetry is developed from one component to the other that finally the students’ competent will be developed progressively hierarchal based on the explanation to be able to have poetic competency. There is no better way in the CBLT than to develop the students’ competence by learning each component of poetry.

The object of the study is imagery, but it is still general because it consists of some types; visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, and kinesthetic. b. The method of teaching is CBLT. c. The teaching process is done in two cycles; each cycle consists of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting.
