| Summary: | In the current era, movies and songs are very common in our daily lives; hence language
learners should utilize these strategies in acquiring a new language, especially when their
benefits and advantages have been highlighted in many studies. However, there are still some
limitations that are faced by instructors and learners when integrating songs and movies in
language learning. Thus, this paper aims to explore i) the perceptions of IIUM students on the
integration of movies in foreign language learning and ii) the perceptions of IIUM students on the
integration of songs in foreign language learning. This study employed the quantitative research
design. It used online questionnaires which were analysed using descriptive statistics. From the
findings, it is found out that the majority of the students have positive perceptions towards the
integration of both songs and movies as a strategy in learning a foreign language. Upon completing
the paper, the main limitations that were faced by the researcher were to get the targeted
respondents to
answer the questionnaires and also time constraint. |
