The procedure of using song lyrics for teaching vocabulary is the teacher prepares
video or audio based on the students’ textbook. Then teacher plays video or audio
for the students 2 or 3 times to make the students familiar with new words in the
song. The teacher and the students sing a song together 2 or 3 times. The teacher
guides the students to learn the meaning of new words deeply and clearly. The
teacher gives the students worksheet. The teacher and the students corrected the
worksheet. Finally the teacher and the students sing a song again. The problem
faced by the teacher during the use of song for teaching vocabulary is the students
do not know the meaning of vocabulary in the song.
