Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of Pictionary games as a tool to teach senior high school students vocabulary. In order to accomplish this purpose, this study was conducted in the 10th grade of a senior high school in Banten Province, Indonesia. The data used a quantitative research methodology by implementing a quasi-experimental research design. The population in this study was students of class a senior high school in Banten Province, Indonesia, and took 72 students as a sample divided into two classes. Cluster random sampling was used to select the class, and the result of random cluster sampling was obtained with 10 MIA 2 as the experimental class and 10 IIS 2 as the control class. The pre-test and post-test were selected as the research instrument to know the effectiveness of Pictionary games. The researchers used Normality and Homogeneity tests to analyze the study's data. After collecting the students’ pretest and post-test, the researchers measured the results to determine the effects on students’ vocabulary mastery between experimental and control groups. The post-test average of the experimental group is higher than the control group (8.392 > 5.054). It can be concluded that the Pictionary games effectively teach vocabulary in the 10th grade of a senior high school in Banten Province, Indonesia.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of English songs on students’ spelling accuracy, a crucial component of effective written communication in language learning. As traditional spelling instruction often lacks engagement and contextual relevance, exploring innovative methods to enhance spelling skills is essential. While previous research has highlighted the benefits of songs for vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation, and motivation, limited attention has been given to their direct impact on spelling proficiency. The aim of this study is to explore how English songs support the development of accurate spelling among EFL learners and to identify the underlying mechanisms involved. Adopting an exploratory research design, the study involved 27 eleventh-grade students from a senior high school in Indonesia with intermediate English proficiency. Data collection comprised semi-structured interviews and reflective journal entries, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of students’ perceptions and experiences related to song-based spelling practice. Data analysis involved thematic coding to identify recurring patterns and insights concerning the cognitive and affective processes that facilitate spelling improvement through musical input. The findings reveal that songs contribute to spelling accuracy by reinforcing visual and auditory memory, providing repetitive exposure to correct spelling patterns, fostering motivation and engagement, and encouraging autonomous learning. Students reported increased confidence, better retention of spelling patterns, and heightened curiosity about unfamiliar words. The implications of this research highlight the pedagogical potential of integrating English songs into spelling instruction, offering an engaging, multimodal approach that supports both cognitive and emotional learning dimensions. The study suggests that utilizing music not only enhances language motivation but also provides a meaningful context for internalizing correct spelling, thereby contributing to more effective literacy development in EFL settings.
