Artikel Jurnal: The Impact of English Song in Vocabulary Learning: A Pre-Experimental Study at A Junior Islamic Boarding School

Pre-experimental design with one group pre-test and post-test was used in this study
to determine whether there is any positive or negative effect on students' vocabulary
mastery after they are taught using English songs. This study's instruments were a
written vocabulary test and a field note. The researchers employed English songs
combined with a Vocabulary self-collection (VSS) technique in the treatment to
improve students' vocabulary acquisition. The mean pre-test score for 39 students
in the eighth grade at an Islamic junior high school was 48,71, and the mean posttest
score
was 80, 89.

was 0.00, which is less than 0.05. This outcome indicated that Ho was
refused but Ha was authorized. It was able to prove that gaining vocabulary in the
eighth grade of an Islamic junior high school utilizing an English song and VSS had
a positive impact on students' vocabulary mastery. The main teaching implication
of this study is that when an English song is combined with specific teaching and
learning objectives and supported by learning assessment through VSS, it might
assist students in learning English vocabulary effectively.
