Data for this study were collected through the administration of group interviews over a period of two weeks by using both questionnaire interview and open-ended interview questions.

Most students prefer consulting the dictionary, teacher, family members or friends when they faced difficulties in understanding the poems in order to address the difficulties faced in reading poetry. 2011 Thesis NonPeerReviewed text en http://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/14651/1/TM_ATUNG%20ASAUL%20ED%2011_5.pdf Asaul, Atung (2011) A case study: reading poetry among form one students in a secondary school in Sarawak / Atung Asaul.
