dc.description.abstractDeveloping an adequate vocabulary background is one of the main concerns of the second and foreign language learners. Accordingly, teachers must be concerned with adopting helpful teaching methods and techniques that would facilitates the process of vocabulary learning and retention. This study aims at investigating the effect of using songs with lyrics as a strategy on vocabulary learning in the case of second year pupils at Omar Ibn Elkhatab Middle School, Constantine. In order to test the hypothesis that introducing new vocabulary items via songs and lyrics would boost pupils' vocabulary learning and retention, a quasi- experimental design has been opted for both the experimental and the control group were pre-tested to record their performance before any treatment is given. The experimental group received a treatment of three songs related to the theme, me and my health; whereas the control group was taught conventionally. Afterwards, two post-tests were administered; the first by the end of the treatment to measure pupils progress through the implemented method, the other two weeks later to see if they still remember what they have learned. Results show that unlike the control group, the experimental group has recorded a statistically significance between the pre and post-test-results. In other words, using songs with lyrics has had a positive impact on pupils' vocabulary learning and retention. Eventually, it is recommended to implement such technique in teachers' every day practice to motivate learning and enhance their academic achievement.ar
