Abstract

Using English songs as a medium for vocabulary learning has become an interesting and effective approach, especially at the primary school level. This article aims to explore the benefits of using songs as a medium in English vocabulary learning, focusing on increasing students' motivation and ease of remembering new vocabulary. The research method used is a documentary study that reviews related literature and previous research results on this topic. The results show that songs can increase students' learning motivation through fun elements and memorable rhythms. Songs also provide a natural context for vocabulary use, which helps students understand and remember words better. The use of English songs as a medium for vocabulary learning in primary schools is proven effective and is recommended to improve the quality of English learning, by paying attention to the selection of appropriate songs and appropriate teaching strategies. Further research is recommended to develop more structured and effective music-based learning strategies in Indonesia's primary education context.

Abstract

Numerous studies indicate that consonants are more highly valued for lexical interpretation than vowels because of the richer and more powerful distinctions they can make. Consonants appear to be the most important phoneme for differentiating between lexical items in most language systems. Cross-linguistically, consonants are more common than vowels. The title "The Role Of Vowels And Consonants In English Language Learning" would be better served by a descriptive study. The purpose of this research is to examine how consonants function in language development, with an emphasis on their articulation and acquisition. The purpose of a descriptive study is to provide readers a thorough grasp of the subject of the investigation. Learners who experience immersion language situations or early exposure to English tend to acquire consonants more quickly. It is crucial to remember that every learner is different when it comes to the acquisition of consonants, and some students may find it difficult to make particular sounds correctly. The phonetic variations between the learner's native language and English may have an impact on this, making it harder for them to recognize and produce novel sounds.

Abstract

This study explores the psycholinguistic factors that contribute to students’ speaking difficulties in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. As speaking is a productive skill that requires rapid mental processing, many learners struggle to produce fluent and accurate speech due to cognitive, affective, and linguistic constraints. This research aims to identify how elements such as working memory limitations, lexical retrieval challenges, anxiety, low self-confidence, and insufficient language exposure influence students’ oral performance. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and speaking-task analyses involving EFL learners at the tertiary level. The findings reveal that students frequently face difficulties retrieving vocabulary, organizing ideas quickly, and maintaining fluency under time pressure. Psychological barriers such as fear of making mistakes, negative self-perception, and social anxiety also significantly hinder their willingness to speak. Moreover, limited practice opportunities and inadequate classroom interaction further reduce students’ communicative competence. This study underscores the need for pedagogical strategies that address both cognitive and emotional aspects of language learning. Enhancing supportive environments, providing structured speaking tasks, and integrating psycholinguistically informed techniques can help learners improve fluency, accuracy, and overall speaking performance in EFL classrooms.
