Despite a considerable body of studies, little
attention is given to the advantages of using songs in
learning (learner-centred). The study, therefore, is aimed
at eliciting Indonesian EFL learners’ beliefs about the
advantages of using songs for their language learning.
Researching the research phenomenon through a
qualitative study using a case study design, in-depth
interview technique was applied to collect the data of the
learners’ beliefs from eleven university learners majoring
English. This study indicated an interesting finding that it
was perceived that the learners believed that there were
some advantages of using songs in learning English:
increasing their EFL learning in the aspects of language
skills (listening and speaking), language components
(vocabulary mastery and pronunciation), their knowledge,
their confidence and relaxation, and improving their
mood and focus. Thus, it is recommended that songs be
used either in teachers’ EFL teaching and in learners’
EFL learning.
