Abstract

The current study examines the application of structuring scaffolds and problematizing scaffolds in the teaching of traumatic memory in Robert Hayden’s poetry. Both forms of scaffolds achieve the effects in the comprehension of personal traumatic memory, historical traumatic memory, and the strategies of Hayden’s traumatic memory writing in the poems. It is suggested that scaffolds can be used for literary development in the Chinese EFL context.
