 CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

A. Background of Study

English is a foreign language studied in Indonesia and an international

language used worldwide. It is the means used to communicate from one

country to another. Language cannot be separated from vocabulary because to

speak English well. They must master as much vocabulary as possible to

pronounce it well and, at the same time, understand each other (Rachmawati

et al., 2020 : 240). In fact, in teaching and learning activities, there are still

many students who often find it challenging to understand the meaning of

vocabulary, which may still be too foreign to students' ears. High school

students and university students are still lacking in vocabulary knowledge. To

communicate using a foreign language, we need vocabulary mastery because

vocabulary is the primary component of a foreign language, such as

pronunciation, spelling, meaning, and grammar (Suri, 2012 : 111).

Vocabulary is an essential aspect of language learning, especially English.

Without vocabulary, learning English will not be successful if students do not

understand the meaning spoken by the teacher. Vocabulary is the content and

function of the words arranged to form sentences used in every action to

communicate. Good vocabulary mastery will make students a speaker, good

listeners, writers, and readers. Many students and teachers expect to be able to

use English because technology is increasingly developing in the era of

globalization, making students and teachers love English which is an

1
international language used throughout the world (Rachmawati et al., 2020 :

241). Vocabulary is the first step before students learn skills in English.

In today's technological developments, of course, students will have no

trouble finding media to add richness to their vocabulary, such as audio and

audio-visual. Examples of audio are radio, music, and audio-visual examples

are movies, videos, television, and others. Most students prefer to use English

songs as a medium to develop their vocabulary. The song may be familiar in

society, and sometimes the song is only used as a cross between the human

senses who listen to it. But behind the song, various benefits are helpful for

educational purposes. In education, English songs are often used as a medium

in the learning process. The primary purpose of using these media is to

introduce and develop English. Because English songs are beneficial in

developing the English language of those who are learning, of course, English

songs can help students improve their listening, speaking, and other elements

of English (vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar) (Erviana, 2020 : 1).

The song is one of the media that has many benefits in undergoing the

language learning process. Songs have become part of the human experience.

So that in language learning, using song media will make the classroom

atmosphere calmer and make students more comfortable and happy when

learning the language. The song is an authentic learning resource where there

is almost no time limit in using song media as a learning resource language.

This means that students can use songs as language input whenever they

want, both inside and outside the classroom. In this way, students will

2
naturally come into contact quickly with English and enjoy the language

learning process (Rachmawati et al., 2020 : 243). Songs have a myriad of

benefits where songs can add rich vocabulary and also help students to

remember the vocabulary as well as understand the meaning of the lyrics of

the songs they listen to (Gushendra, 2017 : 54).

In addition, based on the interview in English Learning at the English

education department, students have difficulty in improving vocabulary

mastery. They also still feel that they lack English vocabulary. Of course,

students will do various ways to enrich their vocabulary, one of which is

using English songs. Which researcher will examine whether, with the use of

English song media, vocabulary mastery and vocabulary richness can be

increased so that it can prove that English song media can be an intermediary

in increasing vocabulary

From the facts above, it can be concluded that vocabulary must be taught

and learned by applying effective strategies such as using English songs as

the media. Since there are still many students who complain about their lack

of vocabulary and vocabulary understanding, the use of this strategy will help

students in developing their English because vocabulary is an important

element of language to carry out communication actions (Asyiah, 2017 :

296). English songs are learning media that can help students find new

vocabulary and can get new ideas from listening to English songs. English

songs are media that may be an alternative and attract students to study

comfortably and more interestingly. So, by listening to English songs,

3
 students can pronounce the pronunciation correctly and understand the

meaning of a word or sentence, as well as get more vocabulary. In this way,

students will have better language quality and can become speakers, good

listeners, writers, and readers (Mustaufidah, 2015 : 2).

There are still many students who do not understand vocabulary, and their

lack of vocabulary makes them not understand a word or sentence. Songs can

help students to develop their English. So that the use of this media will be

one of the media, that is easy and can be practiced by students anytime and

anywhere because the song has no limit on its use. From this phenomenon,

researcher are interested in the use of songs in vocabulary mastery for

university students because there is still a lack of English vocabulary.

Therefore, the researcher does research entitled “STUDENTS'

PERCEPTION ON THE USE OF ENGLISH SONGS AS AN

ATTEMPT TO ENRICH ENGLISH VOCABULARIES (A CASE

STUDY AT THE SECOND SEMESTER STUDENTS OF ENGLISH

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT OF IAIN SALATIGA IN THE

ACADEMIC YEAR 2021/2022)"

researcher to find out how students' perception of the use of English

songs improves vocabulary mastery where researcher hopes that this

research will provide information and references for a further researcher

by developing this research by other objectives.

F. Definition Key Terms

1. Perception

According to Simbolon (2008:65), perception is a cognitive

process that everyone experiences when they understand. It provides

information about the environment through sight, hearing, smell, feeling,

and appreciation. Perception is formed from environmental stimuli

outside the individual in the process of observing and evaluating the

translation of reality, which leads to responsive individual behavior and

attitudes.

6
 2. Song

According to Rachmawati (2020:244), song is explained as a

medium to support learning, song is a combination of words and rhythm.

Songs are authentic materials for teaching a second language where there

is new vocabulary to master.

3. Vocabulary

According to Asyiah (2017 : 294) stated that vocabulary is

considered one of the important factors that have a big influence on

communication, especially in foreign language learning. Language

proficiency can affect how well a person speaks, listens, writes, and

reads.

 CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

A. Review of Related Theories

1. Perception

a. The Definition of Perception

Perception is the experience of objects, events, or relationships

obtained by inferring information and interpreting messages.

Perception is giving meaning to sensory stimuli (Ritonga, 2019 : 88).

While Simbolon (2008) explained perception is a cognitive process

that everyone experiences when they understand. It provides

information about the environment through sight, hearing, smell,

feeling, and appreciation. Perception is formed from environmental

stimuli outside the individual in the process of observing and

evaluating the translation of reality, which leads to responsive

individual behavior and attitudes.

According to Bagia (2015:73-74), perception is a complex

cognitive process that can provide a unique picture of the world that is

very different from reality. Also, Suryani (2013:75) argued perception

is not just a psychological process but begins with a physiological

process known as sensation, in which individuals select, organize and

interpret stimuli into something meaningful.

9
b. Perception Process

According to Danarji, Murtadi, and Ekawati (2013:23-24) that the

perception process goes through three stages, namely:

1) The stage of receiving stimulus, physical and social stimuli

through the human senses, which in this process includes the

introduction and gathering of information about the existing

stimulus.

2) The stage of processing social stimuli through the selection

process and organizing information.

3) The stage of change in the stimulus received by the individual in

response to the environment through a cognitive process that is

influenced by experience, horizons, and personal knowledge.

c. Factors that Influence Perception

According to Maryam & Paryontri (2020 : 23) that perception is

determined by attention factors, situational factors, and personal

factors. Attention factor is a factor in which mental processes when a

stimulus in consciousness is prominent when other stimuli are

weakened. Attention factors are determined by external factors,

namely movement, the intensity of stimuli, novelty, and repetition,

and attention factors are also determined by internal factors, namely

biological and socio-psychological.

Situational factors or structural factors stem from the nature of

physical stimuli and the neural effects they cause on the individual's

10
nervous system. And the personal factors or functional factors include

needs, past experiences, emotional atmosphere, background, frame of

reference, and other things including personal factors. The

determinant of perception is not the type or form of the stimulus but

the characteristics of the individual who responds or does the

functionally selective perception.

According to Ritonga (2019) that, perception is influenced by

sensation, which is the result of absorption of the five senses,

perception is also influenced by attention, expectation, motivation,

and memory. In general, the first three things are divided into two

personal factors and situational factors. Situational attractors are

attention grabbers that exist outside of a person (external), such as the

intensity of stimuli, novelty, and repetition. Internally, there is

something called selective attention which is influenced by several

factors, including biological, socio-psychological, and sociogenic

factors.

According to Sobur (2003) perception is influenced by two factors

there are internal and external factors. Internal factors that influence

perception are psychological needs, background, experience,

personality, general attitudes and beliefs, and self-acceptance. At the

same time, external factors that affect perception are intensity, size,

contrast, movement, repetition, familiarity, and something new.

11
2. Vocabulary

a. Definition of Vocabulary

Vocabulary is an essential element for building sentences. To be

able to construct sentences, students need to increase their vocabulary.

Not only to develop sentences but also to discover the meaning

conveyed in communication (Darma & Illinawati, 2018 : 67). While in

another discussion Goodwin et al. (2018) explained that the term

'vocabulary' can describe individual recognizable words that

individuals can generate and use, as well as words beyond personal

understanding. It can describe a broad group of words, a more specific

set of words, or even a specific group.

According to Gushendra (2017), vocabulary is all the words that

make up a language. Vocabulary is one of the crucial factors in all

language pedagogy, and students must continue to learn terms as they

study structure & practice sound systems.

b. The Role of Vocabulary

Yokubjonova (2020) argues that vocabulary is an essential aspect

of language development. Vocabulary is one of the fields of

knowledge in a language that plays a big role for learners in acquiring

language. For second language learners, vocabulary is important in

learning new foreign languages and increasing word knowledge to

process language. Viera (2016) states that vocabulary is an essential

tool for mastering a language skill that contributes to writing and

12
 speaking. Learning vocabulary means learning new words and their

function and application in different contexts and situations. In other

words, language comprehension and production depend on an

asynchronous and complex process of interpreting speech using the

right lexical combinations at the right time and place. So it can be

concluded that vocabulary is essential in learning and developing a

foreign language. The determining factor in developing language and

vocabulary is the main capital in expressing ideas both in writing and

verbally.

3. Songs

a. Definition of Song

According to Rachmawati (2020:244), song is explained as a

medium to support learning, song is a combination of words and

rhythm. Songs are authentic materials for teaching a second language

where there is new vocabulary to master.

b. Types of Song

According to Giri (2018), songs are grouped into several parts,

namely :

1) Classical

Classical songs are traditional songs in the Mozart era with forms

such as symphonies, string quartets, sonatas, concertos, and

operas. Classical songs are usually played using instruments such

as the violin.

13
2) Pop

A pop song is a type of music that is easy to make. The focus is

on the chorus or the core of the song. In addition, the lyrics used

usually carry a romantic theme and are oriented towards

commercial interests.

3) Rock

A rock song is a song with a simple tone and a fast beat

accompanied by loud music. Rock songs are usually played using

guitar, drums, and brass instruments.

4) Metal

The metal song focuses on guitar playing and is usually played at

a speedy tempo and is a bit more hard-sounding than rock songs.

5) Hip Hop

Hip hop songs are rhythmic songs that combine dynamic types of

music with several elements consisting of Graffiti, Rapp,

Breakdance to Djing.

6) R&B (Rhythm and Blues)

R&B songs consist of various types of popular music that are

intertwined. This genre is a combination of jazz, gospel, and

blues. Currently, R&B music tends to prioritize the musical

improvisation ability of the vocalist with the progressive

harmonization of the sounds of the musical instruments.

14
c. Elements of Song

According to Panjaitan (2019), in a song, there are elements where

the combination of these basic elements can produce a beautiful sound

that affects the listener. These elements are :

1) Melody

Melody is an arrangement of tones that are arranged high and low,

and the pattern so that it becomes a song sentence. Melody has an

important role in attracting attention to the listener and also

becomes one of the important parts of music that can display the

atmosphere of the song, both sad and happy.

2) Rhythm

Rhythm is the repetition of sounds according to a specific pattern

in a song that gives rise to beauty and makes the song pleasant to

hear, where rhythm affects humans emotionally.

3) Harmony

Harmony is a depiction of a perspective that is harmoniously

bound. Harmony gives depth to a melody, much like the

perspective of color in a painting.

4) Tempo

Tempo is defined as a measure of how fast or slow a song is. Fast

or slow tempo depending on the atmosphere that is delivered in the

song. Tempo in music is also essential in presenting beautiful

music.

15
 5) Dynamics

Dynamics is defined as a measure of how loud or soft the music is

when it is played. The dynamics contain responses rooted in the

realm of human emotions. The emotions are described according to

the atmosphere created in the song.

6) Timbre

Timbre is defined as the quality of the sound produced by a

particular musical tone production medium. Timbre in music is like

color in a painting. The many colors in an image make it more

attractive to look at.

7) Lyrics

Lyrics are defined as a form of expression of a person about

something that has been seen, heard, or experienced in the form of

the arrangement of words in a song.

B. Previous Studies

The researcher reviews the paper's related literature as a comparison.

Erviana (2020) conducted the research to found that songs are effective for

students in the tenth grade of SMA N 1 Tuntang to help memorize vocabulary

and can get a lot of new vocabulary. This study involved students of X MIPA

4 who used English songs in learning vocabulary activities. This study used

qualitative research and the sample consists of 25 students in a class who

were given a questionnaire. The study's instrument was an open-ended

questionnaire that included questions about memorizing vocabulary using

16
English songs. The study's findings revealed that using English songs is

effective in memorizing vocabulary by playing songs repeatedly, and from

the English songs can get a lot of new vocabulary. On the other hand, some

respondents say it is less effective because many words in English songs have

different meanings. The researcher compared several similarities and

differences in previous research as a reference. The similarities of previous

research with this research are focusing on students' perception of improving

vocabulary skills using English songs media, and Desika's research with this

research using a qualitative study. While the difference is that previous

research was subject to SMA N 1 Tuntang, and this research used IAIN

Salatiga students. Desika's research focused on memorizing vocabulary, while

this research focused on enriching English vocabulary.

The second research was conducted by Ranggen (2016), this study aims to

see the effect of English songs on developing English listening skills,

speaking skills, and language elements. This study used quantitative

descriptive research, and the instruments used questionnaires and interviews.

It was conducted at Sanata Sharma University, specifically in English

Language Education Study Program (ELESP), and there were 200

respondents in this study. This study's findings revealed that English songs

are a good learning source in learning the English process. The songs help the

students develop their listening skills, speaking skills, and language elements

(pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar). The development is different for

each student depending on how they use sources as a learning process. The

17
researcher compared several similarities and differences in previous research

as a reference. The similarities of previous research with this research focus

on students' perceptions and using English songs as a media. While the

difference is that previous research was subject to the English Language

Education Study Program (ELESP) of Sanata Sharma University while this

research was in the English Education Department of IAIN Salatiga. The

previous research used a quantitative study, while this research used a

qualitative study. The last difference is that previous research focused on

English development while this research focused on enriching English

vocabulary.

The third research was conducted by Ayuningtyas (2008), the purpose of

this study is to find out how far the use of english songs media can help

students master vocabulary in listening class and to see how the

implementation of teaching English using a song improves vocabulary in

listening class. This study used a qualitative study, and the instruments used

observation and interview. The subject of this research is two classes of third-

grade students of SMKN 2 Depok Sleman Yogyakarta. The study's findings

revealed that students improved their vocabulary mastery and their listening

proficiency by using songs. The result showed that songs help students

memorize the meaning of the words better, and students were motivated to

learn vocabulary using songs and can improve through listening to a song.

Besides that, the students can practice their pronunciation by listening to

songs. The researcher made a comparison with previous research as a

18
reference. The similarities between previous research and this study are to

find out how far the use of English songs can help students improve English

vocabulary, and Prames's research uses qualitative study the research. In

comparison, the difference is that the previous research focused on enhancing

vocabulary in listening class of the students' third grade SMKN 2 Depo

Sleman Yogyakarta while this research focuses on enriching the English

vocabulary of Students English Education Department of IAIN Salatiga.

Fourth, Agustina (2019) conducted the research with the purpose of this

study is to find the effectiveness of English video songs in teaching English

vocabulary which was observed and analyzed from student of seventh grade

of MTs Manbail Futuh Tuban.. This study used quasi-experimental research,

and the instruments used observation field notes, pre-test, and post-test. The

subject of this research is two classes of seventh-grade Junior High School of

MTs Manbail Futuh Tuban, which is class VII D as an experimental class and

class VII E as a control class. The study showed that the implementation of

the use of video songs could improve the student's English vocabulary

mastery. Based on the analysis of this data result, it was found that there was

a significant difference between the experimental class and control class. The

Pre-test score of the students’ experimental class was 50.67, and the Post-test

score was 82.00. Meanwhile, the Pre-test score in the students’ control class

was 58.00, and the Post-test score was 68.17. The researcher made a

comparison with previous research. The similarity between the previous study

and this research is focusing on using songs as a medium to increase English

19
vocabulary. While the difference is the previous study used quantitative

research and focused on implementation. Meanwhile, this research used

qualitative research and focused on a student's perception.

The fifth research is from Kalsum (2019), this study aims to to find out the

improving students vocabulary mastery by using english song. This study

used classroom action research, and qualitative and quantitative data were

collected. The subject of this study is eight-grade students of MTs Islamic

Zending Medan, and the students consist of 21 students. The study used

quantitative and qualitative data, and the study showed that teaching

vocabulary by using English songs could improve the students' vocabulary.

By using English songs, students enjoy learning more and increase their

vocabulary in learning English. The preliminary study quantitatively showed

that the student's score was 63.95. The percentage of students' scores on the

test was 6, who got scores up to 75, only 29%. Fifteen students did not get a

score up to 75, and that was 71%. In cycle I, it quantitatively shows that the

student's score on the test is 72.23. The percentage of students' scores on post-

test I was eight people getting scores up to 75 or up to 75 was only 38%.

Meanwhile, 13 students failed to score up to 75, and that's 62%. In cycle II,

quantitatively, the total score of students on the test was 83.19. The

percentage of students' scores on post-test II was 18 students passed and got a

score of 75 or up to 75, and it was 86%. On the other hand, three students

failed to score up to 75, which was 14%. The researcher makes a comparison

with the previous study. The similarity is that the researcher and previous

20
researcher examined how English songs improve vocabulary. While the

difference, previous researcher focused on implementing student learning and

using classroom action research. Meanwhile, the researcher focuses on

students' perceptions and uses qualitative research.

 CHAPTER III

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

A. Type of study

This study used qualitative research methods. Qualitative research is a

study that tries to understand phenomena in natural settings and contexts in

the surrounding environment. Qualitative research aims to describe a certain

phenomenon (Helaluddin & Wijaya, 2019 : 10–11). Agustinova (2015) states

that qualitative research is a method based on post-positivist philosophy that

emphasizes more aspects of a deep understanding of a phenomenon. This

method uses an in-depth analysis technique that examines case-by-case

problems because qualitative methodologies believe that one problem's nature

will differ from the nature of other problems.

In this study, the researcher used qualitative methods to identify students'

perceptions because the qualitative approach was in-depth and realistically

described according to the informants' experiences. The researcher chose this

method to provide comprehensive insight into the perception of the use of

English songs in enriching vocabulary.

B. Research Location and Time

1. Research Place

This research data was taken through offline interviews for second-

semester students of the English Education Department IAIN Salatiga for

the 2021/2022 academic year. Interviews were conducted offline because

22
 now it is allowed to hold face-to-face meetings. The interview will be

held at the IAIN Salatiga campus with time conditioning.

2. Research Time

The researcher took research data in June within a week, June 6 to

June 13, 2022. The researcher distributes the instrument to the

respondents, who have to complete the answers that will be asked in the

interview.

C. Research Subject

The research subject is the person who will be the respondents of research

at IAIN Salatiga Academic Year 2021/2022, especially the second-semester

students of the English Education Department. The researcher chose the

subject of this research to focus on students' perceptions of using English

songs to enrich vocabulary. The subjects in this study were 20 of 110 second-

semester students of the English Education Department of IAIN Salatiga.

Based on several considerations, there are :

1. Second-semester students of English Education Department of IAIN

Salatiga Academic Year 2021/2022

2. Students who like to listening music, especially English songs.

3. Students who like listening to English songs to help enrich their English

vocabulary.

4. Students who are willing to be respondents.

23
D. Source of Data

According to Kusumastati & Khoiron (2019 : 34), research data sources

consist of primary and secondary data sources.

1. Primary Data Sources

Primary data is a source of data obtained directly from the first

source (not through intermediaries), both individuals and groups. Primary

data sources in qualitative research dig up information using observation

and interview techniques as a characteristic of qualitative research. The

researcher will conduct interviews with students as primary data sources to

meet the required data.

2. Secondary Data Sources

Secondary data is a source of data obtained by the researcher

indirectly through other parties (obtained by other parties), and the

collection process is straightforward, fast, and simple. Secondary data

usually comes from primary data that the previous researcher has

processed. Secondary data in the form of records, historical records, or

reports neatly arranged in archives or documentary data. News

publications, blogs, books, journal articles, and so on are secondary data

collection sources. Researcher use books and journal articles as secondary

data sources.

E. The Method of Data Collection

The researcher collected data using interviews to support this research.

24
1. Interview

In qualitative research, the main data source (primary) is a human

being who is an informant. According to Abdussamad (2021 : 145),

Interviews are the primary data mining technique that allows the

researcher to obtain as much complete and in-depth data as possible. An

interview is a conversation between two or more people that takes place

between a resource person and an interviewer to collect data in the form of

information. Therefore, the interview technique is one way of collecting

data. There are three types of interviews: structured, semi-structured, and

unstructured (Rachmawati, 2007 : 36).

a) Structured Interview

In a structured interview, the researcher or interviewer sets the

problems and questions to be asked. Structured interviews are

generally used if the entire research sample is considered to have the

same opportunity to answer the questions asked. This type of

interview aims to find answers to hypotheses. The advantage of this

interview is that there is no deepening of questions that allows for

incorrect responses from informants (Abdussamad, 2021 : 146).

b) Semi-Structured Interview

Semi-structured interviews are interviews that take place referring

to a series of open-ended questions. This method allows the

emergence of new questions from the answers given by the

25
 interviewee, thus allowing the interviewer to explore new

developments (Alijoyo et al., 2021).

c) Unstructured Interview

Unstructured interviews are interviews that aim to find information

that is not single. The difference between this interview and a

structured interview is in terms of time and provides a more free-

response. In unstructured interviews, the questions are not prepared in

advance, and the questions are adjusted to the circumstances and

unique characteristics of the informants. Questions are asked fluidly,

like an everyday conversation in informal situations. In addition, the

informants in this interview were limited to only those selected,

namely those who were seen as having knowledge and exploring the

case and also have the necessary information. The results of

unstructured interviews emphasize exceptions, deviations, unusual

interpretations, new approaches, and expert views (Abdussamad, 2021

: 146).

In conducting this research, the researcher used structured interviews,

from the explanation above the researcher chose that method because it

had to focus on more specific things in researching the perceptions of

IAIN Salatiga students towards the use of English songs in enriching

vocabulary.

26

3. Can the use of English songs help improve English vocabulary?

Based on your experience, how do you enrich your vocabulary with

4.
the help of English songs?

5. What other benefits do you get when you listen to English songs?

F. The Technique of Data Analysis

1. Data Reduction

Data reduction is the first component of qualitative data analysis. In

data reduction, the researcher carried out a process of selection, focusing,

simplification, and abstraction of all types of information that supported

the research data obtained and recorded during the data mining process in

the field. When data collection occurs, data reduction is carried out by

making summary notes of data acquisition in the area. The data reduction

process is a qualitative data analysis step that aims to sharpen, classify,

clarify, and create focus by reducing less important things, and

organizing data presentation in such a way that it can be understood well

and can lead to accountable conclusions (Nugrahani, 2014 : 174).

27
 After the researcher collected data in the field using the interview

method, the researcher coded the data as needed. Organize data

according to categories and essential data based on research problems

that focus on students' perceptions of the use of English songs as an

attempt to enrich English vocabulary.

2. Data Display

The second component of qualitative analysis is data presentation.

The presentation of data is a collection of information that allows the

researcher to draw conclusions and take action. Data presentation in

qualitative research is an assembly of information in the form of a

complete description and narrative based on the main findings in data

reduction. It is presented using logical and systematic language to make

it easy to understand. The purpose of displaying data is to answer

research problems through the data analysis process. For this reason, data

presentation needs to be packaged systematically to assist the researcher

in the analysis process. By understanding this data presentation, the

researcher can conduct data analysis to formulate findings and present

the conclusions of the research (Nugrahani, 2014 : 175–176).

The focus of this study is to show students' perceptions of the use of

English songs as an attempt to enrich English vocabulary at the English

Education Department of IAIN Salatiga. In collecting data, the researcher

explained the data obtained through interview data that had been carried

out and then compiled it into a research report.

28
 3. Conclusion Drawing/Verification

Drawing conclusions is essential in qualitative research. The

researcher must try to find meaning based on data that has been

thoroughly and thoroughly explored. Drawing conclusions is an activity

of interpreting the results of data analysis and interpretation. Conclusions

need to be verified during the research so they can be accounted for. The

verification process for the provisional conclusions can be carried out by

repeating the research steps, namely by tracing back all the research steps

that have been carried out, including examining data from the field,

reductions made based on field notes, and temporary conclusions that

have been formulated (Nugrahani, 2014 : 176–177).

The researcher collects the findings and then processes and

concludes them into the main conclusions as to the last step. The

researcher concludes the decision after the research is carried out, namely

to find out the perceptions of IAIN Salatiga students towards the use of

English songs as an effort to enrich English vocabulary.

G. Validity of The Data

Validity is the determination of research results and whether their

consistency is following what is being studied or not. Validation refers to an

act of proof that is carried out in a manner that follows the procedures and

processes until the research mechanism is used in production and also

supervision during the study (Nugrahani, 2014 : 114)

29
 The researcher used data triangulation as a validation check of research

data. Triangulation is a verification method to increase the level of confidence

and accuracy of the data. Triangulation is a way to eliminate differences in

the construction of reality that exist in context when collecting research data

about events and relationships from various perspectives (Helaluddin &

Wijaya, 2019 : 135). The purpose of triangulation is not to find the truth

about some phenomena but to increase the researcher's understanding of what

has been found. Triangulation provides the following benefits:

1. Trying to atone for inconsistencies is an analysis information assortment

tool.

2. It can increase the confidence of the evidence in the results of research

data when several collection techniques give the same result.

3. Can ask follow-up questions when multiple tools fail to give the same

result.

In this study, the researcher used triangulation to check the validity of the

research data. Make interviews to obtain valid, factual, reliable, and precise

information. To obtain validation data, the researcher was able to reinforce

the data findings by comparing and checking information from the data

obtained through interviews that have been conducted and as evidence that

the respondent is eligible to be used as a research subject.

a) What are your difficulties in English?

In the first question, the researcher wants to know the students'

English difficulties as well as an explanation through the answers that

have been given.

“Kesulitan saya dalam bahasa inggris yaitu kekurangan kosa

kata sehingga saya kurang dalam melakukan speaking dan saya

kesulitan dalam hal penggunaan grammar.” (“My difficulty in

English is lack of vocabulary so that I am not good at speaking and I

have difficulty in using grammar.”) (QA.1)

“Kesulitan dalam bahasa inggris dari saya sendiri seperti

mengolah kata menjadi kalimat yang dipahami dan saya juga masih

merasa kurang dalam kosa kata.” (Difficulty in English from myself,

such as processing words into sentences that are understood and I also

still feel lacking in vocabulary) (QA.2)

“Kesulitan saya dalam bahasa inggris yaitu vocabulary yang

kurang dan pelafalan kosakata yang kurang.” (My difficulty in

English is lack of vocabulary and poor pronunciation) (QA.3)

33
 “Kesulitan saya yaitu terbatasnya vocabulary saya.” (My

difficulty is my limited vocabulary) (QA.4)

“Kesulitan saya yaitu dalam hal speaking karena kurangnya kosa

kata yang saya punya.” (My difficulty is in speaking because of my

lack of vocabulary) (QA.5)

“Kesulitan saya yaitu listening dan pronunciation karena saya

merasa kurang nya pengetahuan dalam vocabulary.” (My difficulty is

listening and pronunciation because I feel that I lack knowledge in

vocabulary) (QA.6)

“Kesulitan saya yaitu dalam hal grammar dan listening karena

kosakata asing yang diucapkan lawan bicara sulit untuk dipahami

jadi saya merasa kurang dalam kosa kata.” (My difficulty is in terms

of grammar and listening because the foreign vocabulary spoken by

the other person is difficult to understand so I feel lacking in

vocabulary) (QA.7)

“Kesulitan saya adalah kurangnya kosa kata saya dalam bahasa

inggris.” (My difficulty is my lack of vocabulary in English) (QA.8)

“Kesulitan saya dalam bahasa inggris adalah pelafalan kata dan

kurangnya vocabulary sehingga ketika listening saya masih merasa

kesulitan.” (My difficulty in English is the pronunciation of words

and lack of vocabulary so that when listening I still find it difficult)

(QA.9)

34
 “Kesulitan saya dalam bahasa inggris adalah memahami

kosakata dan pengucapannya.” ( My difficulty in English is

understanding vocabulary and pronunciation) (QA.10)

“Kesulitan saya dalam bahasa inggris yaitu menyusun kata ke

dalam kalimat.” (My difficulty in English is arranging words into

sentences) (QA.11)

“Kesulitan saya dalam bahasa inggris yaitu dalam vocabulary

karena menurut saya, saya masih kurang dalam kosa kata jadi jika

akan berbicara saya sedikit kesulitan.” (My difficulty in English is in

vocabulary because in my opinion, I am still lacking in vocabulary so

if I want to speak I have a little difficulty) (QA.12)

“Ketika saya berbicara saya merasa kesulitan dalam menyusun

kalimat yang tepat dan vocabulary yang masih kurang saya kuasai.”

(When I speak I find it difficult to compose the right sentences and

vocabulary that I still don't master) (QA.13)

“Ada beberapa kesulitan saya dalam bahasa Inggris yaitu yang

pertama adalah speaking, saya mengalami kesulitan untuk

mengungkapkan suatu kalimat secara spontan. Alasannya karena

banyak kata yang saya tidak tahu bahasa Inggrisnya, saya juga

kesulitan menyusun kata menjadi kalimat yang benar dengan cepat.

Sehingga speaking adalah hal yang tersulit bagi saya. Kemudian,

listening, di beberapa waktu kadang saya kesulitan untuk

mendengarkan kata yang terdengar entah karena tidak jelas

35
pengucapannya, terus terdengar mirip dengan kata lainnya, dan tidak

tahu kata apa yg dimaksud karena tidak pernah mendengarkan kata

itu. Dan bisa disimpulkan kalau kesulitan saya dalam berbahasa

Inggris disebabkan oleh kurangnya vocabulary yg saya kuasai dan

kurang pahamnya ilmu tentang aturan berbahasa Inggris.” ( I have

some difficulties in English, the first is speaking, I have difficulty

expressing a sentence spontaneously. The reason is because there are

many words that I don't know in English, I also have difficulty

arranging words into correct sentences quickly. So speaking is the

most difficult thing for me. Then, listening, sometimes I have a hard

time listening to a word that sounds either because the pronunciation

is not clear, it keeps sounding similar to other words, and I don't know

what word is meant because I've never heard the word. And it can be

concluded that my difficulty in speaking English is caused by a lack of

vocabulary that I master and a lack of knowledge about the rules of

English) (QA.14)

“Kesulitan saya dalam bahasa Inggris adalah ketika saya ingin

berbicara menggunakan Bahasa Inggris karena keterbatasan kosa

kata.” (My difficulty in English is when I want to speak in English

because of limited vocabulary) (QA.15)

“Kesulitan saya dalam bahasa inggris yaitu dalam hal speaking

karena vocabulary saya yang masih kurang dan ketika berbicara

didepan orang saya gugup sehingga membuat apa yang akan saya

36
katakan jadi hilang.” (My difficulty in English is in speaking because

my vocabulary is still lacking and when I speak in front of people I get

nervous so it makes what I want to say disappears) (QA.16)

“Kesulitan saya dalam bahasa inggris adalah masalah aksen,

vocabulary baru yang belum saya ketahui, lalu masalah lain yaitu

listening yang mana saya belum bisa menangkap apa yang dikatakan

orang lain.” (My difficulties in English are accent problems, new

vocabulary that I don't know, then another problem, namely listening,

where I can't catch what other people are saying.) (QA.17)

“Kesulitan saya dalam bahasa inggris yaitu speaking karena

saya masih merasa kurang dalam vocabulary dan juga saya kesulitan

dalam grammar.” (My difficulty in English is speaking because I still

feel lacking in vocabulary and also I have problem in grammar)

(QA.18)

“Mungkin untuk kesulitan saya sendiri selama mempelajari

bahasa inggris yaitu seperti kurangnya vocabulary tentang

pengertiannya itu jadi kesulitan saya selama ini adalah berada di

vocabulary.” (Maybe for my own difficulties while learning English,

such as the lack of vocabulary about the meaning, so my difficulty so

far is in the vocabulary) (QA.19)

“Kesulitan dalam bahasa inggris yang saya alami yaitu dalam

speaking karena sulit dalam merangkai kata-kata.” ( The difficulty in

37
 English that I experienced was in speaking because it was difficult to

string words together) (QA.20)

From the results of the first question interview, it can be

concluded that there are various difficulties experienced by students in

English, namely pronunciation of vocabulary, listening, speaking,

arranging words into sentences, and greetings with accents. However,

most of them have difficulty in their lack English vocabulary.

b) Do you use songs to enrich English vocabulary?

In the second question, the researcher wanted to know whether

because I think songs are the easiest learning media to remember)

(QA.12)

“Ya, saya menggunakannya karena metode tersebut menurut saya

lebih menarik daripada kita mencarinya satu per satu kata di sebuah

kamus.” (Yes, I use it because I find this method more interesting than

looking up words one by one in a dictionary) (QA.13)

“Ya, saya menggunakan lagu bahasa inggris untuk memperkaya

In the third question of the interview, the researcher wants to

know whether the use of English songs can help improve vocabulary

mastery.

“Ya, menurut saya mendengarkan lagu bahasa inggris dapat

meningkatkan kosakata karena saya akan mendengarkan lagu

tersebut berulang-ulang sampai saya dapat mengingat kosakata

tersebut diluar kepala. Selain itu, kita dapat mempelajari kosakata

41
menggunakan lagu bahasa inggris tersebut dengan enjoy dan tidak

membosankan” (Yes, I think listening to English songs can increase

vocabulary because I will listen to the song over and over again until I

can remember the vocabulary by heart. In addition, we can learn

vocabulary using the English song with enjoyment and not boring)

(QA.1)

“Ya, lagu bahasa inggris cocok untuk membantu meningkatkan

kosakata karena memakai lagu lebih asik dan mudah di ingat” (Yes,

English songs are suitable to help increase vocabulary because using

songs are more fun and easy to remember) (QA.2)

“Ya, dengan menggunakan lagu bahasa inggris dapat menambah

they are easier to remember and add to other vocabulary) (QA.3)

“Ya, lagu bahasa inggris dapat membantu saya dalam

meningkatkan kosa kata. Karena ketika menyukai lagu bahasa inggris

akan mendengarkannya beberapa kali, karena sering

mendengarkannya kita akan terbiasa dengan beberapa kata yang

diucapkan dalam lagu tersebut yang mana terdapat beberapa kata

yang familiar dan beberapa kata yang asing bagi kita. Dengan

mendengarkan lagu secara terus menerus akan menjadikan kita tahu

akan makna dari kata tersebut.” (Yes, English songs can help me

improve my vocabulary. because when we like English songs, we will

42
listen to it several times, because we often listen to it we will get used

to some of the words spoken in the song which there are some words

that are familiar and some words that are foreign to us. By listening to

the song continuously will make us know the meaning of the word)

(QA.4)

“Ya, dengan menggunakan lagu bahasa inggris sedikit demi

sedikit membantu dalam meningkatkan kosa kata.” (Yes, using

English songs little by little helps in improving vocabulary) (QA.5)

“Ya, lagu bahasa inggris dapat membantu meningkatkan

kosakata. Karena saat mendengarkan musik kita akan belajar banyak

kosa kata asing dan belajar listening agar terbiasa.” (Yes, English

songs can help to improve vocabulary. Because when we listen to

music we will learn a lot of foreign vocabulary and learn listening to

get used to it) (QA.6)

“Ya, lagu bahasa inggris dapat meningkatkan kosa kata. Karena

ketika mendengarkan lagu bahasa inggris dengan melihat lirik maka

akan menambah kosakata asing yang mungkin belum pernah

didengar.” (Yes, English songs can improve vocabulary. because

when listening to English songs by looking at the lyrics, it will add

foreign vocabulary that may have never been heard) (QA.7)

“Ya, menurut saya lagu bahasa inggris sangat membantu unuk

meningkatkan kosa kata. Karena bisa menikmatinya dan menyukai

lagu berbahasa inggris jadi lebih mudah untuk belajar serta

43
mengingat-ingat.” (Yes, I think English songs are very helpful for

improving vocabulary. because you can enjoy them and like English

songs so it's easier to learn and remember ) (QA.8)

“Ya, menurut saya lagu bahasa inggris dapat membantu

meningkatkan penguasaan kosa kata dan bisa ditambah dengan

menggunakan media lain seperti film berbahasa inggris untuk

meningkatkan kosakata.” (Yes, I think English songs can help

improve vocabulary mastery and can be added by using other media

such as English films to increase vocabulary) (QA.9)

“Ya, menurut saya menggunakan lagu bahasa inggris sangat

membantu untuk meningkatkan kosa kata. Karena saat mendengarkan

lagu dan terdapat kosa kata asing saya langsung mencari arti dari

kata tersebut jadi secara otomatis kosa kata saya juga dapat

bertambah.” (Yes, I think using English songs is very helpful to

improve vocabulary. Because when I listen to songs and there are

foreign vocabulary I immediately look for the meaning of the word so

automatically my vocabulary can also increase) (QA.10)

“Ya, lagu bahasa inggris membantu meningkatkan penguasaan

kosa kata bahasa inggris. Karena terdapat kata yang mungkin masih

asing bagi pendengar jadi dengan kosa kata asing tersebut dapat

menambah kosa kata baru.” (Yes, English songs help to improve

English vocabulary mastery. Because there are words that may still be

44
foreign to listeners, so using these foreign words you can add new

vocabulary) (QA.11)

“Menurut saya itu cukup membantu meningkatkan penguasaan

kosa kata tapi menurut saya kalau hanya lagu bahasa inggris saja

tidak cukup jadi harus ada media lain untuk menambah peningkatan

kosa kata dengan media lain seperti caption di media sosial dan

melalui film berbahasa inggris. Kosa kata yang terdapat dalam lirik

lagu itu mudah di ingat, dipahami dan tidak melulu bahasa yang

digunakan formal jadi bahasanya itu informal seperti percakapan

sehari-hari atau bahkan slang word dan idiom.” (In my opinion it is

enough to help improve vocabulary mastery but in my opinion only

English songs are not enough so there must be other media to increase

vocabulary with other media such as captions on social media and

through English films. the vocabulary contained in the lyrics of the

song is easy to remember, understand and not only use formal

language, so the language is informal like everyday conversation or

even slang words and idioms) (QA.12)

“Menurut saya, iya. Karena ketika saya menyukai lagu tersebut

maka saya akan mencari tahu isi dari lagu tersebut bagaimana

sehingga saya akan mencari arti dari lirik tersebut kemudian

menerjemahkan sehingga saya mendapat pemahaman kosa kata

baru.” (In my opinion, yes. Because when I like the song, I will find

out what the content of the song is so I will look for the meaning of

45
the lyrics then translate so that I get a new vocabulary understanding)

(QA.13)

“Ya, menurut saya lagu bahasa inggris dapat membantu

meningkatkan penguasaan kosa kata. Alasannya karena lagu

merupakan salah satu hiburan yang disukai kebanyakan orang.

Dengan mendengarkan lagu otomatis orang-orang akan mengikuti

lagu tersebut dengan membaca liriknya. Kebanyakan lirik yang

dipakai dalam lagu bahasa Inggris bukan merupakan kata-kata yang

biasa digunakan dalam sehari-hari, sehingga ketidak unfamiliar

itulah yang menyebabkan orang akan mencari tahu arti dari kata

tersebut agar paham dengan makna lagu. Selain itu, dengan adanya

nada di lagu itu, orang-orang akan lebih bisa banyak mengingat kosa

kata daripada hanya membaca kosa kata bahasa Inggris biasa.

Walaupun bagi saya pribadi lagu bahasa Inggris tidak terlalu

menyumbang banyak manfaat untuk memperkaya kosa kata saya”

(Yes, I think English songs can help improve vocabulary mastery. The

reason is because the song is one of the entertainment that most people

like. By listening to a song, people will automatically follow the song

by reading the lyrics. Most of the lyrics used in English songs are not

words that are commonly used in everyday life, so unfamiliarity is

what causes people to find out the meaning of the word in order to

understand with the meaning of the song. In addition, with the tone in

the song, people will be able to remember a lot more vocabulary than

46
just reading ordinary English vocabulary. Although for me personally,

English songs don't really contribute much to enriching my

vocabulary) (QA.14)

“Ya, lagu bahasa inggris dapat membantu meningkatkan

penguasaan kosakata. Karena selain mudah diingat memperkaya kosa

Kata menggunakan lagu juga menyenagkan dan tidak mudah bosan”

besides being easy to remember, it enriches vocabulary using songs is

also fun and doesn't get bored easily) (QA.15)

“Ya, saya merasa sangat terbantu dengan lagu bahasa inggris

untuk menguasai kosa kata bahasa inggris. Karena saat

mendengarkan lagu bahasa inggris pasti akan melihat lirik dari lagu

tersebut dan jika ada satu atau dua kata yang asing akan segera

mencari arti dari kosa kata tersebut itu apa, jadi lebih banyak lagu

yang didengarkan maka lebih banyak lagi kosa kata yang

bertambah.” (Yes, I find it very helpful with English songs to master

English vocabulary. Because when listening to English songs, you

will definitely see the lyrics of the song and if there are one or two

foreign words, they will immediately look for the meaning of the

vocabulary, so the more songs you listen to, the more vocabulary you

will increase.) (QA.16)

yang dapat menambah kosa kata saya. Disatu sisi saya menyukai

47
musik dan seperti yang kita ketahui jika belajar dari hal yang kita

penguasaan kosa kata. karena biasanya belajar menghafal biasa itu

keberatan dan malas tapi kalau belajarnya sambil fun dan dengerin

musik bisa lebih banyak menemukan vocab-vocab yang belum pernah

ditemukan jadi lebih senang dan enjoy dan juga lebih mudah di

ingat.” (I think it is very helpful in improving vocabulary mastery.

because usually learning to memorize is usually objectionable and

lazy, but if you study it while having fun and listening to music, you

can find more vocabs that have never been found, so it's more fun and

enjoyable and also easier to remember) (QA.19)

48
 “Kalau menurut saya tidak terlalu, lebih ke kayak story yang bisa

meningkatkan penguasaan kosa kata.” (I don't think so, more like a

story that can improve vocabulary mastery) (QA.20)

The results of the third interview questions, it can be concluded

that the use of English songs can help improve vocabulary mastery.

However, there are also those who say that using only songs is not

very helpful, so there must be other media to help improve vocabulary

mastery, such as using English films or stories. And it can be

concluded that the use of English song media is helpful in enriching

vocabulary because the use of the song method is an alternative to

learning vocabulary that is easy to remember and also learned with

pleasure and enjoyment, especially if you already like things related to

music.

responses from the respondents. 18 respondents said that using English

songs can helpful to enrich vocabulary. One of their difficulties in

English is the lack of vocabulary, so they use various ways to enrich their

method increases their enthusiasm for enriching vocabulary. And also,

from the song, there is a lot of foreign vocabularies, so they can enrich

the vocabularies from the vocabulary that they don’t understand the

meaning. Meanwhile, two respondents said that the use of English songs

can not helpful to enrich english vocabularies if there no other media

itu. Dan bisa disimpulkan kalau kesulitan saya dalam berbahasa

kata.

nada di lagu itu, orang-orang akan lebih bisa banyak mengingat kosa
kata daripada hanya membaca kosa kata bahasa Inggris biasa.
Walaupun bagi saya pribadi lagu bahasa Inggris tidak terlalu

73
 menyumbang banyak manfaat untuk memperkaya kosa kata saya

setiap mendengarkan lagu berbahasa Inggris saya selalu mencari
lirik dari lagu tersebut agar bisa mengikuti lagunya, kemudian saya
baca lirik tersebut sambil memahami makna dari lagu, apabila ada
kosa kata yang saya tidak tahu artinya, saya akan mencari lirik lagu
itu beserta terjemahannya. Selain itu saya akan menulis lirik yang
menurut saya menarik di buku.
5. Manfaat yang saya dapat dari mendengarkan lagu bahasa Inggris
