A Study on the Use of English pop songs in Junior High School English Classes ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to describe the implementation of the English pop songs instruction in junior high school English classes and to explore how this instruction enhanced learner motivation, learning attitude, and the comprehension of listening, speaking, reading and writing. By using the qualitative method of purposeful sampling, selected participants were ten eighth graders from a junior high school class in southern Taiwan. Multiple qualitative data collections included classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, open-ended questionnaires, and document collection. The qualitative analysis of various sources of data was conducted through content analysis and constant comparative method. The analysis, based on the four research questions, was focused on (a) the effects of the researcher’s method of integrating English pop songs into junior high school English classes; (b) the integration of students’ needs and the selection of songs for maximizing junior high school English teaching and learning; (c) the advantages of using songs in English classes; and (d) the difficulties that teachers might face when doing the instructions of using English pop songs. The major findings of this study were discussed. First, six components were identified to describe the framework for the instruction of English pop songs in junior high school English classes including the result of students’ need analysis, instructional goals, teaching material, English pop songs classroom activities, learning attitude, and learning effects. Second, four factors of students’ needs were identified to integrate into the selection of English pop songs in junior high school English classes, including English course syllabus, students’ English competence, students’ interest, and students’ will of learning. Third, five factors were identified to contribute the advantages of using songs in junior high school English classes, including motivation, authentic materials, comprehensible input, affective filter, and learner attitude. Finally, five aspects were identified to analyze the difficulties that the teacher was facing while using English pop songs, including implementing the instruction, students’ reflections, colleagues’ comments, parents’ queries, and teaching equipments. Furthermore, the study constructed a theoretical model entitled “Spiral approach to the instruction of using English pop songs in junior high school English classes”. The growing results of the continual song-based instruction followed the Golden Ratio. This theoretical model described and explained four crucial factors of the spiral approach to the song-based instruction , including the designed teaching materials, the partaken English pop songs classroom activities, the enhanced learning motivation, and the activated learning attitude. Recommendations for the teachers who adopt the song-based instruction in junior high school English classes are (a) helping their students enjoy learning English as much as they enjoy eating hamburgers; (b) integrating the students’ needs into the selection of proper songs; (c) striking a balance between their teaching and students’ learning; (d) recognizing the advantages of using English pop songs in their English classes; (e) being aware of the significant problems which they might face. Key words: English pop songs, motivation, learning attitude, Golden Ratio
