This research is conducted at the eighth grade students of SMP Negeri 7 Manado in the academic year of 2020-2021. There are 20 students engaged to be the subject of this study. The researchers select one class to get treatment in order to achieve the objective of this study. The data are obtained through pre-test and post-test. Before giving the treatment to the students, the researchers firstly measure their knowledge by giving a pre-test. Then after doing the treatment, the students are required to do a post-test to find out whether the treatment has a significant effect on students’vocabulary mastery or not. Memorizing songs can be utilized in English learning to improve students’ vocabulary mastery. Thus, the learning objectives can be reached successfully. Improving vocabulary mastery using songs is not only beneficial but also pleasant for students. They become more interested in studying and not easy to get bored. The relationship between teachers and students also becomes closer because students tend to feel more comfortable asking questions to their teachers about the difficulties or new words they find. It can be seen from the students’ scores in post-test that are higher than the pre-test. The average score of the pre-test is 3,85 and the average score of the posttest is 12,65 . Finally, the researchers conclude that songs give a significant impact in improving students’ vocabulary mastery.  \nKeywords: Vocabulary Mastery, English Songs, Memorizing.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nEnglish is one of many languages that exist on earth, and Indonesia has adopted English as a tool of communication to establish its relationship with other countries (Liando, 2012) . People need language to communicate with others and English functions as a global language to connect people worldwide. Moreover, in this  \nglobalization era, English is essential since the competitiveness in looking for jobs is getting harder, and also the qualification becomes higher from year to year. Mogea, T.(2019:9) mentions “English is an international language used all over the world, for education, technology, political, and commercial purposes.” From her statement, it can be seen that everyone, especially students, should master English.  \nThey should be able in English communication, and lack of vocabulary knowledge can cause some difficulties for their future, since the limitation of language that they have.  \nAccording to Hampp, there are several aspects that should be considered in learning English. They are listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Besides those four basic skills, grammar and vocabulary also hold an important role in English learning (Paula L. Hampp, 2019) . Vocabulary and grammar are able to facilitate students in mastering those four basic English skills. In learning English, students should have enough vocabulary as the basis of their communication. As Wilkins claims that“Without grammar very little can be conveyed, but without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed” (Wilkins, 1972) . Eventhough students do not master grammar really well, but if they have already known lots of vocabulary, they will be able to understand what other people say.  \nIn English grammar, we recognize tenses to indicate time reference. Simple past is oneof the English tenses which is important tobe understood by students to help them arrange correct sentences according to the form of simple past tense. To achieve it, they have to know the transformation from the fir","cbCaidLNUEvCvXG3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidLNUEvCvXG3","pdf",374293,12,"English","# INTRODUCTION\n## Rationale for English vocabulary mastery\n## Role of vocabulary in communication\n## Learning difficulties in memorizing vocabulary\n## Song-based learning principles and benefits","[{\"question\":\"What is the objective of the research?\",\"answer\":\"To discover the effectiveness of using songs in improving students’ vocabulary mastery.\"},{\"question\":\"How is students’ vocabulary mastery measured in the study?\",\"answer\":\"Through a pre-test before treatment and a post-test after the song-based instruction.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the results indicate about English songs?\",\"answer\":\"Post-test scores are higher than pre-test scores, and the study concludes that songs have a significant impact on vocabulary mastery.\"}]","IMPROVING STUDENTS' VOCABULARY MASTERY THROUGH ENGLISH SONGS AT THE EIGHTH GRADE OF SMP - Research paper | PDF",1790601817]
