The Effectiveness of Music Simulated Patterns Use in Developing Listening Comprehension of EFL Learners

Abstract

The present study explored the effectiveness of using music stimulated patterns for improving students’ listening comprehension. To reach the purpose of this study, 60 male students of elementary and middle class, all at elementary level of proficiency participated in this study. They were divided into two groups of control and experimental on the basis of intact group sampling. Homogeneity of the groups was checked based on the scores they achieved in TOEFL junior standard test. After that, for testing the participants’ initial listening ability, a pre-test based on the listening section of the Cambridge Young Learners English Test was administered. Then, the treatment started and both the groups were taught in accordance with Lindsay and Knight’s (2006) three-stages for planning listening tasks including pre-listening, listening, and post listening activities except that the control group was taught using their own ordinary syllabus using the Connect series and the experimental group had their treatment employing music and songs. After ten sessions of the treatment, a post-test which was a version of the Cambridge Young Learners English Test was taken by the participants. Independent t-test was run to probe any difference between the groups. The result suggested that the experimental group that were taught using music outperformed the control group that were taught through traditional material in listening comprehension. Implications of the study for teaching and learning listening were also discussed.
