Text Based Work in Teaching Divan Literature Tropes and Poetic Figures
Lala Naghıyeva 
Abstract. This article examines the organization of text-based work and the methodological aspects of teaching metaphors and poetic figures within the context of Divan literature. The study aims to identify appropriate teaching methods that facilitate an integrated understanding of the content, language, and imagery of classical poetic texts. Drawing on theoretical analysis, comparative study, and close reading techniques, the article explores the functional characteristics of artistic expressive devices in the poetry of Fuzuli. Beyond merely identifying devices such as simile, metaphor, hyperbole, antithesis,
repetition, and rhetorical questions, the article emphasizes the importance of explaining their emotional impact and their role in creating meaning. Activities such as expressive reading, vocabulary work, problem-based questioning, group discussions, and creative assignments are presented as means to foster a conscious comprehension of the text. Consideration of students' age-related characteristics, linguistic proficiency, and individual needs is regarded as a crucial factor in organizing the teaching process. The assessment prioritizes knowledge of terminology, text-based interpretation, and the ability to explain the function of poetic devices. The proposed approach aims to foster interest in classical heritage and to develop aesthetic sensibility and independent thinking. Conducting classroom observations and empirical research is recommended to determine the practical effectiveness of the methodological model.
