| dc.description.abstract | Listening is one of the language skills that should be mastered by the
students in Junior High School. Unfortunately, EFL students still have difficulties
in listening comprehension. Further, it makes difficult for them to gain better
score for other language skills and components. When a teacher gives listening
test to the students, they still make some mistakes mostly in catching what the
speaker says. It is caused by unfamiliar English words they have.
One solution to solve this problem is using interesting media appropriate
for students named slow beat English songs. Supporting this solution, Davies
Further, an experimental research on listening skill by using songs had
been done by Saputri
Based on the interview with the English teacher at SMPN 3 Jember it was
known that she rarely gave listening practice to the students. Although the school
had already had good facilities as it is an RSBI school, but still she rarely used it.
It was because she thought that bring them to multimedia room was wasting time.
However, when she teaches listening, she speaks orally to the students. So the
English teacher had never used slow beat English songs in teaching listening. | en_US |
