Meta Analysis: Song as a Tool to Improve Students’ Vocabulary Mastery
Abstract
A song can be used as a medium to improve vocabulary in English teaching. The objective of this research is to analyze the evidence on the efficacy of song as a tool to improve student's vocabulary mastery. Method: The articles about the song as a medium of English teaching were systematically searched over the past 5 years. Meta-analyses were performed to pool standardized mean differences (SMD). Results: 10 articles were included in the systematic review, and only 4 articles meta-analyzed. SMD in mastering vocabulary by using songs at pre-test was 57,79 and post-test was 86,5 Conclusion: A song can be effective in initially improving students' vocabulary mastery.
