Abstract

This study investigated the impact of using songs to improve students’ listening skills in a self-directed language learning context. The participants were 36 tenth-grade students of SMA N 1 Terbanggi Besar in the 2025–2026 academic year. This research employed a quantitative method using a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The instruments used were a listening comprehension test and the Self-Directed Learning Ability Scale questionnaire. The results showed an improvement in students’ listening skills. The mean score increased from 59.08 in the pre-test to 67.92 in the post-test, with a gain score of 8.84. The paired sample t-test indicated that the improvement was statistically significant, with t-value = 9.291, df = 35, and Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000. Since the t-value (9.291) was higher than the t-table (2.030) at the 0.05 significance level, the null hypothesis was rejected, confirming that songs significantly improved students’ listening skills. In addition, the questionnaire results revealed that students generally had positive perceptions toward the use of songs in self-directed learning, particularly in the aspects of motivation and self-awareness, although some students still showed low engagement and initiative. Overall, the study concludes that integrating songs into self-directed learning significantly improves students’ listening comprehension. Therefore, it is recommended to use more varied song selections and interactive listening activities to maximize learning outcomes. Keywords: Listening Skills, Self-Directed Learning, Songs, English Language Learning, Student Engagement.
