| This study attempts to investigate the use of songs in teaching reading comprehension among the form one students in Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama Nibong Tebal Seberang Prai Selatan. The subjects in the sample were the form one students selected based on their monthly English test results. These students were divided into two groups. The first group is called the Traditional Method Group (TMG) and the second group is called Using Song Group (USG). Each group consists of fifteen High English Proficiency (HEP) students and fifteen Limited English Proficiency (LEP) students. The TMG students were taught using the traditional method whilst the USG students were taught using a song. Both groups were taught the same reading comprehension using lyric from the song entitled 'I Believe I CanFly'. The TMG was first asked to read the lyrics of the song. Next, they were asked to answer ten comprehension questions. The USG also followed the same procedure. The difference was only the useofthe song, which was played after the reading of the lyric. The USG students were then asked to sing while the song was being played a answer few times. Subsequently they were asked to the comprehension questions. The scores from both groups were taken as the data for analysis. This study supports the hypothesis .at students who were taught using songs will be able to increase their score in reading comprehension exercises as compared to students who were taught using the traditional method and LEP students in USG who were taught using songs will be able to improve their scores in reading comprehension exercises as compared to LEP students in TMG. |
