Abstract

This study explores the perceptions of 10th-grade EFL students on using Spotify as a tool to improve vocabulary through listening to English songs. The study highlights Indonesian high school students' challenges in mastering vocabulary and evaluates the potential of digital platforms such as Spotify in supporting the language learning process. This study uses a quantitative descriptive survey approach, 60 students from SMAN 25 Bandung participated in a five-point Likert scale questionnaire to assess their perceptions of Spotify’s usefulness, ease of access, educational benefits, and obstacles encountered. The results showed that students positively rated Spotify as an effective, enjoyable, and accessible vocabulary learning tool. Most participants agreed that listening to English songs helped them remember new vocabulary, improve pronunciation, and broaden their understanding of formal and informal expressions. The descriptive statistical analysis showed that four out of five leading indicators were categorized as “High” and one indicator was “Very High” regarding perceived benefits. However, there were several obstacles, such as difficulty understanding fast-paced lyrics, slang in lyrics, informal language use, and background music distractions. Despite these obstacles, students were highly motivated and preferred song-based learning methods over traditional, conventional, textbook-based ones. These findings emphasize Spotify’s potential as an effective vocabulary learning medium that aligns with the digital preferences of today’s generation and support the argument for integrating technology in EFL.

Abstract

In the era of globalization, English language skills are crucial for career readiness, especially in technical fields such as Building Information Modeling (BIM). However, vocational high school students often face challenges in developing these skills due to curricula that prioritize technical expertise over professional communication. This study examines BIM students' perceptions of the importance of English language skills for their career readiness and the challenges they face in acquiring them. The study collected data using a descriptive, quantitative approach through a questionnaire that had been previously validated by 30 respondents. This was then distributed to 72 BIM students at a public vocational school in Bandung. The results showed that the majority of students (97.3%) recognized a competitive advantage in finding employment due to their English language skills, but 84.7% lacked confidence in using English professionally, largely due to a lack of learning opportunities that fostered confidence in speaking English. Furthermore, 94.4% of students felt that their English lessons did not fully focus on the speaking skills needed in the workplace. These findings highlight the need for vocational education to adopt a more practical and interactive English curriculum that integrates job interview simulations, project presentations, and direct exposure to professional communication in English. This study showed that increasing students' confidence and competence in speaking English can improve their career prospects in an increasingly internationalized job market.
