Using Song Lyrics Activities to Develop Preparatory Stage Pupils' EFL Listening Skills

Abstract

The current study aims to investigate the effect of song lyrics activities on developing EFL listening skills of preparatory stage pupils. Sixty-two first year preparatory stage pupils were randomly assigned into two groups; experimental (n=31) and control (n=31). The experimental group used song lyrics activities in EFL listening instruction while the control group underwent regular listening instruction. The findings indicated that pupils of the experimental group outperformed those of the control group in their listening skills.
