As far as second language learning is concern, there is still limited empirical support for music as a tool to acquire them although there are documents regarding the positive effects of music on rote memorization.This study investigated the effects of songs on the learning of English grammar in a group of 20 chosen Year 5 students who have scored average scale of 40 — 80 marks based on their 2003 examination results and they have limited proficiency in the English language. A Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design, and classroom observation was selected for this investigation. As a result of performing two-way analyses of variance, a hypothesis have been drawn and accepted. Consequently, these findings contradict past calims: A musical medium promotes language learning to the same extent as a non¬musical medium. Definite patterns in the data were also observed: Sample mean gain scores were consistently higher for music. Therefore, music resulted in the largest grammar acquisition gains. Further investigation is needed in order to determine whether a musical medium may promote even greater grammar acquisition than a non-musical medium. 2004-10 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/38351/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/38351/1/38351.pdf text en public degree University Technology MARA Cawangan Sarawak Faculty of Education
