This study notes the affinity that exists between poetry and popular songs which can be useful to poetry reading education and conducted an experiment to observe how advanced learners read modern Korean poetry using popular songs. In accordance with their reading patterns, this study seeks an effective way to teach students modern Korean poetry. Poetry is considered difficult to access due to ambiguity and connotation, while popular songs are easily understood by simple language and repetitive structure which are different from poetry. However, these two genres have links in visible aspects such as poetic language, subject matter, rhythm, format and structure, so that learners can react with these links and read poetry more independently. The positive role of popular songs in the learners’ poetry reading process can be seen in Korean learners’ reading patterns. The learners supplemented or modified their understanding of poetry through connecting the poetry and songs, and their understanding could be deepened when they analyzed the differences between them. Furthermore, they reconstructed the meaning of poetry in their own context. According to the result of experiment, this study raises a few suggestions which will enhance the effectiveness of modern Korean poetry reading education using popular songs.
