Abstract

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of children's song media on the enhancement of English pronunciation skills among fourth-grade students at MI Bina Ummat. The research employed a single-group pretest and posttest design, adopting an experimental approach. Thirty children from the fourth grade of MI Bina Ummat comprised the study population. The t-test was used in the analysis of this research data. The findings of the study showed that children's song media had a significant impact on students' English pronunciation, with a t-count of 8.101 > t-table of 2.042. The average value was 54.00 for pre-test data and 80.64 for post-test data. The difference in the average value is 24.64, representing a percentage increase of 42%. These results illustrate the extent of the change in students' pronunciation ability. Consequently, the use of children's song media is demonstrated to have a positive effect on improving English pronunciation skills among fourth-grade students at MI Bina Ummat, as indicated by these findings.
