1. Introduction
Modern education has a tendency to emphasize more on the cultivation of comprehensive ability of students. As a part of modern education, English teaching, compared with training students the ability of learning skills, should attach equal significance to educate students the ability to have deep sentiments about history,geography,customs,traditions, literature,arts and values related to the English speaking countries. Therefore, the process of English education is more than a thing of getting the abilities of listening, speaking, reading and writing. It also includes the knowledge of culture and literature. Without a good understanding of them, a student, even with a great command of language skills, would be limited in his communication competence. English and American Literature, which comes from the western culture, definitely becomes the best way to know the arts of the English language and taste love and hate,ideal and reality of the Western world. By studying literature, understanding the deep culture which supports the surface culture, we can have a better grasp of the language. While simply applying literature in English teaching is far from enough, the selection of materials and the method of teaching are of more importance. Good materials and appropriate methods can create a good environment for students, developing their interest and activity of English learning. English poetry, although whose importance fades in English learning during these years, can be a great alternative of materials selection. The learning and appreciation of English poetry, as the essence of the English language, can deepen the comprehension of English and promote their aesthetic ability. This thesis teaches Robert Frost in College Integrated English as a case study of using Poetry in English teaching. By analyzing the negative aspects of the traditional method used in Integrated English and the poetry features of Robert Frost, this paper tries to make it convinced that the connection of Poetry and the Integrated English is practical in promoting learning efficiency.
