Abstract

The objective of this research is to explore the enhancement of vocabulary proficiency through listening to songs in Class XI-A at MA Bina Islam Tanah Grogot. The research employs the Classroom Action Research Method (CAR) and involves 18 students. Data collection includes activity observations, documentation, and tests. In the pre-test stage, the average score was 65.05, with a learning perfection rate of 38.88%. In the first cycle, students exhibited an average score increase to 74.27, achieving a learning excellence rate of 61.11%. The overall average score in the second cycle reached 84.38, with a total learning excellence rate of 94.44%. Despite improvements, observations indicate that some students still struggle with vocabulary mastery, and not all students clearly comprehend the songs played. Nevertheless, in the second cycle, students demonstrated an enhanced ability to boost their vocabulary proficiency using English songs. The findings indicate an overall improvement in the vocabulary mastery of Class XI-A students at MA Bina Islam Tanah Grogot through the incorporation of English songs.
