Media INTRODUCTION 1 The Background of the Study In English, the are four essential constituents of the linguistic, such as: listening, reading, writing, and speaking, where these four constituents are the main aspects in teaching English as a foreign This is the reason why they should be delivered in correctly, according to the situation and interaction that happens and the main ideas of speaker or writers in argue their conception that aims to the readers or audience (Simbolon, 2. In order to express his/her concept and thoughts and being adept to speak is one of the aspects of subduing the language to speak impulsively, speaking skill is very important in the context of English learning because through oral language enables someone (Fauzan, 2. According to Pimwan . , "songs are authentic materials that can motivate students to learn English. Songs stimulate positive emotional attitude towards language learning then songs can inspire great motivation during a lesson". Inappropriately, although they have been studying English for ten years informal junior high school, real situation it is still difficult for Indonesian students to practice their English ability in daily conversation because they might get a good score of English in their report card but they cannot speak English fluently yet. The students of SMA Tamansiswa Pematangsiantar also meet the similar problems in speaking. based on the observation researcher identifies the problems. Some learners are worried of making mistakes, they feel nervous to speak English, their fluency and their confident are also low. Their friends will mock them when they make mistakes. It also relate to the low internal motivation of the students. Students almost seem have not desire or competitive spirit in learning 2 T he P roble m of St udy This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4. 0 International License Bilingual: Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris Vol. 6 No. 2, 2024 DOI: 10. 36985/1gepjb97 e Ae ISSN: 2302 - 6596 Based on the background above, the research problem can be formulated as follows: Does any effect of English song as a media toward studentsAo speaking ability at the eleven grade students of SMA Tamansiswa Pematangsiantar in the academic year 2023/2024? 3 The Objective of the research Here is the objective of the research which the researcher tries to achieve through this study: To know whether using English song is effective or not as a media towards studentAos speaking ability for the eleven grade students of SMA Tamansiswa Pematangsiantar in the academic year 2023/2024. II. LITERATURE REVIEW 1 Concept of Speaking Speaking is The act of delivering language by mouth. The lungs, vocal tract, vocal chords, tongue, teeth, and lips are just a few of the body parts we use to produce sounds when we speak. English is known to require four skills: speaking, writing, listening, and reading. Speaking ability refers to the ability of students to communicate their ideas in spoken language, including fluency and consistency of speech, vocabulary, and grammar, according to Thornbury . In this study, speaking is a productive skill of process to be a good communicator. 1 Teaching Speaking Brown . states that teaching is showing or helping someone to learn how to do something, giving instructions, guiding in the study of something, providing with knowledge, causing to know or The goal of teaching speaking skills is communicative efficiency. 2 Types of Speaking Skill Speaking is a productive skill that can be directly an empirically observed. Speaking is one of two productive skills in a language teaching. According to Brown . as a process of building and sharing meaning through the use of verbal or oral form describes six categories of speaking skill area. Those six categories are as follows. Imitative This category includes the ability to practice an intonation and focusing on some particular elements of language form. That is just imitating a word, phrase or sentence. The important thing here is focusing on pronunciation. Intensive This is the studentsA speaking performance that is practicing some phonological and grammatical aspects of language. Responsive Responsive performance includes interaction and test comprehension but at the somewhat limited level of very short conversation, standard greeting and small talk, simple request and Transactional . It is carried out for the purpose of conveying or exchanging specific information. For example here is conversation which is done in pair work. 3 Speaking Assessment Assessment is an on going process that encompasses a much wider domain. Whenever a student responds to a question, offers a comment, or tries out a new word or structure, the teacher subconsciously makes an assessment of studentsAo performance. Written work-from a jotted down phrase to a formal essay is performance that ultimately is assessed by self, teacher and possibly other students (Brown, 2. 2 Concept of Song Ratnasari . defines songs as a kind of art work that are attempted to be sung either with or without musical accompaniments. Grief . says "The song is part of the music you perform with Speaking is closely related as speaking is an action of interacting with others when using oral Only an operation that blends the words together into something understandable can be described as oral language. Songs are part of everyday life for most people, according to Mol . The researcher can conclude from this statement that songs are partly human feelings and experiences as long as they can remember. It is a way to express the thoughts, views, assumptions, and expressions of the students in the learning process.

They enjoy the harmony, the expression and the rhythm. It means that a song is a unity of some music Ratnasari . divides the elements of music into two categories. The first category is the main elements. It consists of rhythm, melody, harmony and lyrics. Rhythm is the dynamic of the Advantages and Disadvantages of Song Abu Mallouh . and Kailani . say the following advantages of using songs in the classroom such as: Motivation and enjoyment. Language improvement . tructure, spelling, et. Vocabulary exer`cise and presentation . Pronunciation exercise. Variety / movement in the subject. Culture substance. Task Ae based learning . Create an atmosphere of relaxation in the classroom and they maintain interest and enthusiasm. A complete piece of meaning from the first lesson of learning the foreign language is a way of giving children a complete text with. They introduce the complete sounds of English as well as to the melody of language naturally and effectively to the students. Disadvantages of song : While there are many benefits of music in the office, there are also certain disadvantages that should be considered if youAore thinking about drafting up a work playlist. The wrong music can create a distraction The mind can become too stimulated Music can make the mind forgetful 3 English song in Classroom The use of song in the classroom can make the entire learning process more enjoyable and can stimulate "right" brain learning. When students make a major breakthrough in learning, it is song to a teacher's ears. There is nothing more rewarding for a teacher, than seeing their students smile and laugh while they learn. The same can be said for students. Students who are taught in a fun and creative way, love coming to class. 4 AuA Thousand YearAy song by Christina Perri The romantic song about the fear of falling in love, is a sleeper hit. It played during the credits of The Twilight Saga: Breaking DawnAiPart 1, but after fans heard it on the movie's soundtrack, they adopted it as the song to stand for Bella and Edward's romance. In the end, 'A Thousand Years' isn't just a song. it's an experience, an exploration of the depths of human emotion. It's about the joy and pain of loving someone so deeply that the boundaries of time become meaningless. 3 Concept of Media Media is every tool to convey information or messages from one place to another. The teachinglearning process also uses audio media to be rotated and then students say what they hear. Rosalia et . When it comes to the definition of teaching, media refers to any and all instruments available to educators for use in providing students with instructional materials in order to meet predetermined learning objectives. In order to obtain information about the use of media in the learning process, researchers conducted informant interviews. Multi-media or mixed-media refers to instructional materials used in language learning that use various media, including printed and visual 1 Kinds of Media Media from the Latin word, the plural form of the word medium, means something located in the middle . etween two parties or pole. or a tool. Webster's dictionary Anitah . 2: . in Tax et ,. suggests that media or medium is everything located in the middle in the form of a ladder, which is used as an intermediary or liaison between two parties or two things. Henich Arsyad, . also used the medium as an intermediary that delivers information between sources and So Unprojected images, printed materials, and the like are communication media.
