“…Fifth, songs attract attention. Songs may be appreciated by people who happen to be tone-deaf, or by those whose FL competence is too low to allow them to understand the lyrics, although a recent corpus-based study demonstrates that the lexical coverage of Englishlanguage song lyrics is appropriate even for beginners (Tegge, 2017). Notwithstanding their lack of FL proficiency, they enjoy listening to FL songs (often, songs become their major source of FL exposure outside the classroom).…”

The need to integrate songs into English Language Teaching (ELT) has been recognized on numerous occasions. Song lyrics host multi-word units which learners can reuse as building blocks in their English, thereby reducing language processing time and effort, and improving their fluency as well as idiomaticity, thus bringing them closer to the native speaker norm. We report on two studies into the effectiveness of using songs for teaching multi-word units to high-school Polish learners of English. The same items were taught to two groups of EFL learners, but only one of the groups heard them in a song. Learners' vocabulary recall was measured at three points in time relative to the teaching: before, immediately after, and a week after. The group taught with songs showed a significant recall advantage over the other group, especially when tested a week from teaching. The results suggest that songs can be an effective vehicle for teaching English multi-word units.

Every teacher has their own strategy in managing their class. In addition, in the learning process, teachers need new innovations that can arouse students in the class. This study aims to determine the teacher's policy in managing class using dangdut music rhythm to support the learning process in the classroom. The research method used is a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach. The results obtained based on this study were easier for students to memorize learning material by using the dangdut music rhythm. The combination made by the teacher is the rhythm of the music that is often heard by students with learning material. In addition, students are more enthusiastic, easy to understand learning material, and able to improve students' memory of the material learned in class. This research is also one of the teacher's strategies to be creative in using learning methods in the classroom.

“…Reading a lot refers to how much time the readers take to read and the number of reading materials being read. Moreover, (Nguyen & Walkinshaw, 2018;Sucuoglu, 2017;Tegge, 2017) say that reading habits do not only help the students to get information but it is also very useful in filling the leisure time. In other words, with good reading habits, the students will also be able to master the reading ability.…”
