How students from higher education improve listening skill through English songs. An exploratory study

This study explores how songs in English help improve listening skills in higher education students. Listening skills are crucial for the acquisition of any language, as they directly and simultaneously improve pronunciation, expand vocabulary and grammar. English songs are an effective teaching resource that facilitates learning and retention for EFL learners, provides language structures, and provides motivation for students. Popular songs motivate learners and connect them to everyday situations and emotions, making songs a valuable pedagogical resource that can help L2 learners increase their current level of proficiency in listening skills. The use of songs in the classroom encourages attention, concentration and language development. Likewise, it makes learning more fun and meaningful for students.
