17 1999, p.74. Therefore, that capability was really needed to be able to get a big
number of the respondents.
3.2 Research Setting
The research was using purposive sampling to get the respondents. It was conducted in Sanata Sharma University, specifically in English Language
Education Study Program ELESP batch 2011 up to 2015. The respondents were 200 students with at least 20 students from each batch to represent the batch. The
data gathering took place outside the class such as Student Hall, “Lorong Cinta”, PBI’s T-Junction, and places where the ELESP students’ are used to hang out.
3.3 Research Respondents
The participants for the research were students of ELESP and also a lecturer from ELESP. The students
’ criteria for being the participant was the students must be a students of ELESP from the batch range of 2011 up to 2015. The respondents
were 200 students and taken from different batch to be able to get different point of view from different experience in learning English. The lecturer was selected to be
the interviewee because of his experience in using songs in the class to support the learning process.
3.4 Research Instruments
The research used two instruments to gather the data. The instruments were questionnaire and interview.

3.5.1 Questionnaire
Questionnaire became the main instrument in the research. It was chosen because it gave advantages for the researcher. The first advantage was the cost of
sampling respondents over a wide geographic was lower. The second advantage was the time required to collect the data typically was much less Gall, Gall,
Borg, 2007. A questionnaire was defined as a document containing questions and other
types of items designed to solicit information appropriate to analysis Babbie, 1990, p.377. The questionnaire was distributed to the students to get some information
about the influence of songs in learning process. The questionnaire used likert-scale that consisted of 20 close-up statements with 5 choices of answer. As Joshi, Kale,
Chandel, and Pal 2015 state that likert-scale is a set of statements offered for a real situation under study. The choices of answer were strongly agree, agree,
undecided, disagree, and strongly disagree.
3.5.2 Interview
Interview became the second instrument. Based on Cohen, Manion and Morrison 2007, there were three purposes of interview in a study. The first
purpose it was used as the principal means of gathering on the research objectives. The second purpose was to be used to test hypotheses or to suggest a new
hypothesis. The last purpose of the interview was that it can support the other methods which were used in a study. The first purpose was used to gather the
information from the lecturer. It was done to get the different point of view from the implementation of song in learning English.
19 Kerlinger 1970 states that interview could be used to follow up unexpected
results or to go deeper into the motivation of participants and their reasons for responding as they do as cited in Cohen, Manion, Morrison, 2011, p.411.
Therefore, the researcher was able to get more specific data from the students.
3.5 Data Analysis Techniques
In analyzing the data, the first data to be analyzed was the quantitative data. Quantitative data was numerical data from the study Cohen, Manion, and Morison;
2011. The quantitative data was gathered from the questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of close-ended statement which had to be
chosen based on the students’ experience. Cohen et al 2007 defines that scale contains degree of agreement which was set to gain the expressions of opinion,
interest, or value, problems to react to, or statement to agree or disagree by the Likert scale. The respondents were given 5 options to each statement on the
questionnaire which are strongly agree, agree, undecided, disagree, and strongly disagree.
After all the questionnaire were collected, the data were processed. Therefore, it was able to be presented in percentage form. The used formula was:
ɳ ×
ɳ = Number of respondent based on the degree of agreement
No Question
SA A
U D
SD
1 I use English songs as one of my media in
learning English
SA: Strongly agree; A: Agree; U: Undecided; D: Disagree; SD: Strongly Disagree
20 = Number of all respondents
Along with the questionnaire, the qualitative data also needed to be analyzed. The qualitative data was gathered by using interview. The result data then
analyzed by taking the main ideas of each answer that given from the interviewee. According to Cohen, Manion, and Morrison 2011, p.537
“qualitative data involved organizing, accounting for, and explaining the data; in short, making
sense, noting patterns, themes categories, and regularities.”
3.6 Research Procedure
In conducting the research, there were five steps that researcher had to do. Those steps were; defining population, formulating instruments, conducting the
study, processing the data, and reporting the data. The first step that the researcher did was to select the population. The
participants were selected based on the purpose of purposive sampling, it is based on specific purpose rather than randomly Tashakkori Teddlie, 2003, p. 713.
The participants were 200 students of ELESP and one ELESP lecturer. The second step was to formulate the instruments. After selected the
participants, the instruments were needed to gather the data due to answer the research problem. The first instrument was questionnaires that consisted of twenty
close-ended questions. After the questionnaires were gathered, it was processed to be able to make the guideline for the next instruments, which was interview. The
interview was used to gather more specific data, the interview was recorded to make the data processing easier.
