Abstract

This study aimed to determine students' mastery of rewriting an English song for class X students of SMA Negeri 1 Comal and to discover students' difficulties in rewriting English song lyrics. This research was conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Comal. The sample for this research was class X students for the 2022/2023 school year; thirty-five students were taken as samples. In analyzing the data, the writer uses the percentage of scores in the student test, which aims to determine student mastery in doing the test. The writer found that the experimental class or the class was not given the treatment. One student experienced a decrease in grades compared to the pre-test scores, 28 students experienced an increase in grades, and six students had the same post-test scores as their pre-test scores. From the graph, the writer concludes that grammar has a small increase, meaning that only a few students can get high grammar scores, and the one that increases the most is ideal content, meaning that many students have no difficulty in making ideal content, while vocabulary and punctuation look more stable. This means that students are fine with working on these aspects. In conclusion, students experience difficulties in grammar aspects.

Abstract

The research investigates the efficacy of using English song lyrics, specifically drawn from Shawn Mendes' album "The Shawn Mendes Foundation Playlist," to enhance vocabulary skills among tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Comal. Employing a quantitative experimental approach, the research involved 70 students divided into experimental and control groups, undergoing pre-tests and post-tests to gauge vocabulary improvement. Results indicated a significant enhancement in vocabulary scores among students in the experimental group exposed to the treatment of rewriting English song lyrics. Conversely, the control group exhibited mixed outcomes, with some students experiencing declines, while others maintained or slightly improved their scores. Despite encountered difficulties in comprehending song lyrics and articulating ideas, proposed solutions included frequent exposure to English songs and active engagement in predicting song meanings. The findings underscore the potential of utilizing song lyrics, particularly from popular albums, as a valuable pedagogical tool for fostering vocabulary development in English language learning settings, thus advocating for their integration into language curricula.
