Abstract

This study's objective was to examine how songs were used to teach speaking proficiency to elementary school kids as well as the issues that teachers ran into. The goal of incorporating the song into all learning phases is to help students become accustomed to the English language's vocabulary and pronunciation by employing an enjoyable method—a song that they are already familiar with.

The problem that mostly occurred in the class teaching song for speaking English was not confident in speaking. Because of that, implementing the song for learning English to activate students’ speaking skill.
