how to sing the songs with the correct pronunciation. Based on the second treatment, the researcher still found the students’
mistakes in pronouncing the lyrics of the songs. When, they sang in front of the class, some students were not really serious to sing. They enjoyed making jokes
with their friends. As the result, those students did so many mispronunciation. Then, the researcher asked them to listen carefully to the songs and pay attention
to the pronunciation. The researcher also found the students who were influenced by
Javannese accent. Those children were Ba, At, Ant, Da, Fr, and Wi. Those students could not pronounce the words of the songs correctly, for example they
always made mistakes when pronouncing shining, start, we’re, share, fight, and faith. Then, the researcher decided to conduct another further treatment in the
