| This research attempted to investigate the effects of songs in teaching vocabulary in a Year One
class in Sekolah Kebangsaan Sungai Lampam, Teluk Intan. This study was a comparative group study
consisting of a control group and a treatment group. The study was conducted for a period of eight
weeks and at regular class time by the researcher. The subjects for this research were forty Year
One students divided into two groups: twenty in the control group and twenty in the treatment
group. The control group was taught using the traditional methods, while the treatment group was
taught using selected songs in addition to the traditional method. The treatment group achieved
higher averages than the control group on the post-test. The average scores of the treatment group
were lower than those of the control group on the pre-test. The control group improved its overall
average score from 76.30 for the pre-test to 78.45 for the post-test, while the treatment group's
overall average score improved from a pre-test average of 39.25 to 56.50 on the post-test. The
control group had a 2.15 gain in its average score at the end of the eight-week period, compared to
the treatment group's gain of 17.25 during same period. Thus, the results indicated that songs, as
an instructional supplement, could be an effective instructional method to teach
vocabulary to Year 1 learners.
