ashya isdanyo septiara, Intan Hamzah

Abstract


Mastering vocabulary is crucial in learning English as it affects communication skills. Many students find it difficult to express their ideas in English, and learning difficulties stem from internal and external factors. Technological advancements, particularly in e-learning, have a positive impact on the learning process. Songs in English have been proven to be an effective way to learn and improve vocabulary as they help students understand and memorize new words. Using music player applications like Spotify as an innovative learning medium can improve vocabulary mastery. The study aims to explore students' perspectives on their vocabulary mastery using English songs with the Spotify application and employ descriptive qualitative research to determine students' perceptions of Spotify as a learning medium for increasing vocabulary mastery. The subjects of this research were eleventh-grade students of SMAN 1 Terbanggi Besar, totaling 30 students. From the result of the questionnaire, the majority of students find Spotify to be a useful and effective tool for learning English. It is perceived as a good medium for social interaction, improving vocabulary mastery, and receiving useful feedback from teachers.
