Abstract

The integration of songs into English Language Teaching (ELT) has gained increasing attention as an engaging and effective instructional approach. This literature review explores the role of English songs as instructional media in enhancing students’ language skills across various educational levels. Drawing on studies published between 2011 and 2021 from databases such as Google Scholar and Publish or Perish, the review focuses on how songs contribute to the development of listening, speaking, vocabulary, pronunciation, and learner motivation. The analysis is organized according to three educational contexts: junior high school, senior high school, and higher education. Findings suggest that the use of English songs can foster a positive learning atmosphere, reduce learners’ anxiety, and improve engagement and skill acquisition. The review highlights the pedagogical value of songs in ELT and provides practical insights for educators seeking to implement song-based strategies in their classrooms

Abstract

This study investigates beginner-level EFL students’ perceptions and expectations of their teachers’ teaching performance at the Mister Nob English course. While previous research has often emphasized subject knowledge and relied on quantitative approaches in formal settings, this study adopts a qualitative method to provide deeper insight into teacher performance in an informal learning environment. Using the Teaching Competencies Scale (TCS) by Catano and Harvey (2010), the study explored nine key competencies: availability, communication, conscientiousness, creativity, feedback, individual consideration, professionalism, problem-solving, and social awareness. Data were collected from ten students through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Findings revealed that students responded positively to their teachers’ performance, particularly valuing social awareness and availability. However, uncertainty remained regarding feedback and problem-solving competencies. Additionally, students expressed expectations for greater creativity, punctuality, and lesson preparation. The study highlights the importance of emotional engagement, accessibility, and creativity in promoting effective teaching and learning in EFL contexts. Recommendations for future research include expanding participant diversity, incorporating teachers’ perspectives, and broadening the scope of performance indicators.
