The eclectic methods employed include Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), the Silent Way, and Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). An empirical study was conducted with a sample of 52 university students enrolled in the undergraduate course titled ‘Literature and Life: IV.’ The research methodology involved developing a lesson plan that aligns with the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020 while integrating constructivist principles and the application of principled eclecticism. In conclusion, the study highlights a promising pathway for enhancing poetry instruction through the innovative integration of principled eclecticism and constructivism UR - https://journals.eltai.in/jelt/article/view/JELT660605 ER -
