THE ROLE OF SPOTIFY MUSIC PLATFORM IN ENHANCING LISTENING SKILL IN FLE

Abstract

Proficiency in English is increasingly recognized as a vital skill for communication, cultural exchange, and personal growth. Among the different language skills, listening comprehension stands out as crucial, as it directly impacts how we interact in conversations and understand spoken language. Traditionally, listening skills were developed through textbook exercises in classroom settings, but with the rise of digital media and music streaming platforms like “Spotify”, learners now have exciting new opportunities to enhance their listening abilities outside of the classroom. This article explores how “Spotify” can play a pivotal role in improving listening comprehension in foreign language education. With its extensive collection of songs, podcasts, and other spoken content, “Spotify” allows learners to immerse themselves in authentic audio experiences that make learning engaging and relevant. The article aims to show how students can use “Spotify” to boost their vocabulary, refine their pronunciation, and grasp complex linguistic structures. It also evaluates the effectiveness of incorporating “Spotify” into language curricula by examining factors such as student motivation and engagement. Ultimately, “Spotify” not only supports vocabulary and phonetic development but also encourages social interaction among learners, enriching their overall language skills and cultural understanding.
