stimuli. Based on that theory, the observation was used to see students’ behavioral response toward the use of songs in listening class.
The first observation was conducted on November 5
th
, 2012. The participants were 27 students of class VIII A. The teaching and learning process
took place in an audio-visual room. Before the listening section started, all of the students were ready in the audio-visual room and they prefer to sit in the front
row. While the teacher prepared the material, most of the students were talking to their friends. When the handouts were distributed, they focused on them and tried
to guess about the topic they would learn. Almost all of the students were active in answering teacher’s questions about the topic of the lesson. They also paid
attention to the teacher seriously. When the listening section started, the students listened to the song
seriously. The teacher used Westlife’s songs and the title was “I Have a Dream.” The first task was to fill in the blanks or to complete the lyrics of the song. At
first, they liked to listen to the song rather than writing the answers. After the song was played for the first time, the students asked the teacher to play it again. At this
time, they started to write the answers and they still listened to the songs enthusiastically. Afterwards, the teacher played the songs once more time in order
to give opportunity to the students to check their answers. Even though the song played three times, they still concentrated to listen it.
Next, the teacher asked the students to discuss their answers with their partners. All of the students enjoyed the discussion. Moreover, the teacher
together with the students discussed about the song. The students also learnt about

participants were different. The participants were the students of class VIII B. The total number of present students was 27. There were no students who came late to
the class. Most of them preferred to sit in the front row. This class was quite noisy because almost all of the students were talking to their friends. However, they
kept silent and paid attention to teacher’s explanation when the lesson began. After the teacher distributed the handouts, the class became noisy again because
the students were talking about the songs. When the teacher gave them some questions about the topic they were going to learn, all of them answered it
actively. The students concentrated on listening to the songs. The teacher still used
the same song by Westlife. They also had a task to complete the song’s lyrics. The teacher played the song again for the second time after that. In this section, all
of them did the listening assignment seriously. Afterwards, the students asked the teacher to play it one more time because some of them wanted to finish and to
check their answers. Most of the students listened to the song seriously while the rest of them were singing together.
In the next section, the students discussed their answers with the teacher. Most of the students were active in answering questions. They also learnt about
vocabularies and pronunciation from the words in the song’s lyrics. When they
