Abstract

The focus of this study is to figure out whether implementing English songs as learning resources and media in educational activities may enhance students' listening skills. The researchers used a quantitative approach and pre-experimental study on 39 pupils in class VIII-B at MTs Darul Falah Bongas to gather this data. The researchers employed a single group pre-test and post-test design, which is a form of pre-experimental study. Ten multiple-choice questions based on song lyrics with a gap-filling task design were employed. The findings demonstrated that using English songs as media significantly improved students' listening skills. By comparing the pre-test and post-test results, this conclusion was reached. The mean score before the test was 41.38, and the mean score after the test was 65.69. Additionally, the hypothesis result displays a value of 5.81, which is bigger than the t-table (i.e., 2.03<5.81>2.72). The authors draw the conclusion that, in addition to being interested and motivated in the learning process, their listening abilities increased after being taught using English songs as medium. Their listening skills can then be greatly enhanced by selecting the appropriate English music.

Abstract

This study intends to investigate how students at STKIP Al-Amin Indramayu perceive the Al-Amin English Club (AEC) as a platform for learning English and how confident they are in their ability to speak the language. This study takes a qualitative approach using phenomenology. It was carried out in STKIP Al-Amin Indramayu, West Java, at the Al-Amin English Club, one of the student platforms. To gather detailed information regarding this platform, the researchers spoke with five interviewees. The sample was taken from representatives of semester two, four and six of the English education department who play an active role on this platform. Data for this study was gathered through documentation, interviews, and observation. In order to determine how this platform affects students' self-confidence, this study focuses on examining the viewpoints of Al-Amin English Club members. The findings demonstrated that the learning activities offered by Al-Amin English Club are pertinent to the growth of students' English confidence. In contrast to earlier research that concentrated more on the speaking abilities of the students, this study focuses directly on the topic of self-confidence in speaking English. This platform has a positive impact on pupils' confidence, according to their viewpoints. During this activity, students' confidence in speaking English increases. Furthermore, the encouraging friendship environment is another factor that keeps students motivated to learn English, particularly in the Al-Amin English Club. Additionally, the more laid-back and informal classroom environment encourages students to participate in the Al-Amin English Club learning process.
