Abstract

This study explores the impact of the implementation of appreciative listening using English songs on the development of students' knowledge of various expressions in English and in collecting data, 23 students from various majors and different universities were involved as participants. In this qualitative study, they were interviewed about their experiences in discovering the various uses of expressions in English songs and how their knowledge developed as they tried to explore the meaning of these expressions. They testified that through this learning method, their knowledge of the various units in the language increased and even promoted this way of learning for other learners. The results obtained from this study are in line with what researchers have found in the past; this method should be implemented in English learning for the wider community. Keywords: appreciative listening, qualitative research, English songs, expressions, learning method.
