Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
This study was aimed to develop and evaluate the Rhyme Song Module as an alternative approach for English teachers. The study also analyses the effectiveness of the Rhyme Song Module on the spelling and sounding achievement of seven years old children. This is applied research by using quantitative research based on the ADDIE instructional model, (i) Analysis; (ii) Design; (iii) Development; (iv) Implementation; and (v) Evaluation. Using a quantitative approach with quasi-experiment method, the results of the Pre-Test and Post-Test were analysed and summarized in the study. Convenient sampling was used to select the participants of the study where 50 students from Year One were chosen from a government funded primary school. The participants were divided into two groups which were the control group and treatment group with 25 students each. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential analysis. The results obtained showed that the treatment group which the Rhyme Song Module was applied showed a significantly higher achievement in their spelling and sounding achievement. Results of the Independent T-test carried out showed a significance difference between the sounding Post-Test for both the treated and control group with sig (2-tailed) of Level 1=0.00, Level 2=0.00 and Level 3=0.00. The Independent T-test also showed a significance difference between the spelling Post- Test for both treated and control group with sig (2-tailed) of Level 1=0.00. Results of Level 2 and Level 3 shows no significant difference with sig (2-tailed) of Level 2=0.13 and Level 3=0.56. In conclusion, the Rhyme Song Module is proven effective in improving the spelling and sounding achievement of seven years old children. Overall, the implication of this research is able to provide a dimension of thought for other research and also teachers on the importance of music and the usage of nursery rhymes in language teaching.
