Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

The main concern of this study was to use an alternate way of teaching students how to understand meaning of words from a selection read. It aimed to determine the learning contribution of Song-Inspired Instructions in enhancing vocabulary development of the Grade 6 pupils at Corpus Christi Parochial School of Iligan, Tubod, Iligan City. This study employed the quasi-experimental research design. The data on performances of pupils were gathered using a 40-item researcher-made tests. The participants of the study were 60 Grade VI pupils, 30 placed on the control group and 30 on the experimental group. Based on the data gathered, the results showed that the pretest of both groups with 0.024 p.value exceeded at 0.05 level of significance was not rejected and it revealed that there were no significant differences in the mean pretest scores of the participants. It was concluded that the use of the Song-Inspired Instructions had improved the pupils’ vocabulary knowledge. This proved that using Song-Inspired Instructions can be adapted as other teaching strategy in vocabulary enhancement. Thus, it is hoped that the training-workshop program on Song-Inspired Instructions be realized.
