A total of 18 parThroughout the six-week time period of the treatment, both groups where observed for a total of 12 times. Each group was observed using an observation checklist, which comprised of four components. In general, the observations were carried out to examine the changes in the participants’ vocabulary competence through the implementation of using songs in YouTube.
It was observed that during the implementation of the songs, the experimental group was divided into pairs and small groups of four. Throughout the activities, participants were seen to be very enthusiastic in the lessons as they enjoyed listening to songs projected using the YouTube website. However, there were participants who showed some confusion during the lesson, especially for the activities where they had to guess the meaning of words using the context and rhyming words. Nevertheless, as the activities went on, they revealed positive changes in interest as well as in vocabulary competence. They were able to answer the tasks given correctly and able to provide oral responses as well.
On the contrary, the same did not happen with the control group. They took a longer time to improve on their vocabulary competence through activities such as reading comprehension and grammar exercises focusing on the vocabulary component. They did not show much interest in the lesson conducted although there were some improvements in their vocabulary competence.
