Abstract

This study explores the transformative impact of a dynamic Question and Answer (Q&A) method on students' higher-order thinking skills. In an era where rote memorization dominates traditional classrooms, this research investigates an innovative pedagogical approach designed to foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical abilities among students. The study employs a mixed-methods research design, integrating qualitative and quantitative analyses to measure the effectiveness of the Q&A method. This research dissects the impact of the Q&A method on cognitive development. It delves into the theoretical foundations of higher-order thinking skills and examines how the interactive nature of the Q&A process stimulates intellectual curiosity. By intertwining challenging questions with collaborative problem-solving activities, educators are empowered to foster an environment where students not only learn but also think critically and creatively. The research results indicate that there are four questioning methods, namely narrative questioning, guessing objects answering method, questioning through body movements, and argumentative questioning. Preliminary findings hint at a positive correlation between the implementation of the Q&A method and significant strides in students' critical thinking abilities. This research goes beyond the conventional boundaries of academia, offering a transformative pedagogical approach that equips students with skills crucial for navigating the complexities of the modern world. By cultivating higher-order thinking skills, this study strives to empower students not only as knowledgeable individuals but as adaptable and innovative thinkers prepared to meet the challenges of the future head-on.

Abstract

The importance of English as a second language (L2) has heightened in the era of globalization, with individuals worldwide striving for proficiency in academic, professional, and social contexts. This study investigates the influence of watching English-language songs on L2 acquisition, with a particular focus on psycholinguistic aspects. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the data consists of words, phrases, and sentences extracted from selected songs such as "Happier," "All I Want," "Glimpse of Us," and "Oops!... Did It Again." Through participant observation, researchers evaluate the impact of these songs on comprehension, pronunciation, listening skills, and reading abilities. Interviews further delve into the research objectives, supported by recordings and note-taking. The analysis, utilizing reflective interpretive methods, draws upon the experiences of both researchers and respondents. Oral data undergoes transcription, classification, reduction, and verification, which are then organized into tables for interpretation. The findings indicate that exposure to English songs enhances L2 proficiency, particularly in improving understanding of meaning, vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation accuracy, listening acuity, and reading fluency. These results hold significant implications for language teaching practices and future research on L2 acquisition. Integrating English songs into curricula provides engaging avenues for learners to develop listening, pronunciation, vocabulary, and reading skills. Incorporating diverse, authentic language materials, such as songs, enriches learning environments by reflecting real-life language usage. The study highlights the value of qualitative methodologies, such as participant observation and interviews, in comprehending the psycholinguistic processes involved in L2 acquisition. Future research could explore various song types, genres, and proficiency levels, while also assessing the long-term impacts of music-based language teaching. In conclusion, these findings contribute to evidence-based language teaching practices and advance our understanding of the cognitive mechanisms involved in L2 acquisition
