Abstract
Teaching writing skills in the local language is difficult by nature because writing requires the learners’ well-rounded knowledge from time-proved vast reading and high imagination. As an English teacher in Thailand, it is almost the ‘mission impossible’ for me to lead my students to the higher level needed. I experimented bringing Haiku to the online classes during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the first aim of entertaining them in English, and saw some positive feedback and some changes in their attitude towards my writing class. This encouraged me more to bring in more Japanese poems to class with the same hope that it might bring a miracle as well. At this moment, my little experiments are still going on but I can’t stop myself to share with you our classes’ enthusiasm in English writing.
