Abstract


ABSTRACTGrammar is a subject that is considered difficult by many people, including students. The number of existing formulas makes students less interested in learning them. Therefore, we need a fun learning media to encourage student interest. One of them is by using English song media. This study aims to identify students' perspectives on the use of English songs in learning grammar. The song used in this study is a song from Imagine Dragons entitled Bad Liar. In this song, students will learn about the tenses in the lyrics of the song Bad Liar. This study uses a qualitative approach with six students as participants. These students come from various universities in Indonesia. Data was obtained through a questionnaire that had been filled out by students. This study shows that most students are motivated to learn grammar by using songs. From these results, the researcher suggests the use of songs as an effective medium in learning grammar.Keywords: Grammar, Bad Liar, Learning Media
