| description | Purpose of the study: This study aims to investigate how the use of songs in English language classrooms could aid
tertiary students to increase their verb vocabulary repertoire.
Methodology: This quantitative study was carried out among diploma students from a local university in Malaysia. The students were exposed to various English songs during their English lessons. Pre-test and post-test were conducted in this study.

should use English songs as classroom activities to facilitate their students’ language learning and motivate them in
acquiring new English vocabulary. The findings of this research are useful for university policymakers, teachers, and students.
Novelty/Originality of this study: In this research, the use of English songs from contemporary genres, such as Western
