THE CORRELATION BETWEEN STUDENTS' HABIT OF LISTENING TO ENGLISH SONGS AND THEIR VOCABULARY MASTERY AT THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT OF BUNG HATTA UNIVERSITY
Abstrak
ABSTRACT
This study aimed to examine the correlation between students’ habit of listening to English songs and their vocabulary mastery at the English Department of Bung Hatta University. Using a correlational design, the population consisted of 30 students selected through total sampling. The instruments were a questionnaire on listening habits and a vocabulary test. Data analysis revealed that the correlation coefficient (rcalculated = 0.340) was lower than rtable (0.361) at the 0.05 significance level, indicating no significant relationship between the two variables. Therefore, the null hypothesis was accepted, suggesting that listening to English songs does not significantly contribute to vocabulary mastery. This might be due to the repetitive, informal, or context-specific nature of song lyrics, as well as the tendency of students to listen for entertaining.
