Examining Students' Perspectives on the Integration of English Songs for Improving Speaking Skills

Abstract

Enhancing speaking skills poses a significant challenge in language learning. While teachers may provide learners with an adequate vocabulary, the issue lies in the lack of guidance on the acquisition process and the absence of enjoyable methods to cultivate speaking proficiency. This study aims to explore the impact of English songs on the improvement of speaking skills, specifically focusing on the perspectives of sophomore students enrolled in the Department of English at Bordj Bou Arreridj. Data were collected utilizing a quantitative method where a questionnaire was administered to a random sample of sixty sophomore students. The findings reveal that integrating English songs in oral practices holds substantial importance in facilitating language acquisition, as it offers learners a unique opportunity for self-expression and serves as a motivating factor in promoting oral communication skills. The findings will provide valuable insight for the educational Community to tackle different angles of this research.
