| Summary: | This study is aimed to explore the effectiveness of music involvement in learning among UiTM Teaching of English as Second Language (TESL) students. The research was carried out in quantitative form, conducted among 75 of TESL students from Universiti Teknologi Mara, Section 17, Shah Alam, Malaysia. Four issues were discussed; firstly, the role of music in learning; secondly, the factors that contribute to the music involvement while learning; thirdly, the genres of music that is chosen while learning and fourthly, the relationship between CGPA and listening to music while studying and completing assignments. Written consent was obtained from all participants. Questionnaires were distributed to all 75 respondents throughout 8 semesters of TESL students. The findings from this study shown that students spent their time listening to music while studying and completing assignments because of certain factors which are listening to music is fun and interesting, listening to music can prevent boredom and keep us company and listening to music can make us feel calmer and relax. Aside from that, the finding also indicates that the respondents prefer teachers and lecturers apply the use of music while teaching in class. However, the finding indicates that there is no relationship between listening to music while studying and CGPA but listening to music while completing assignments tend to decrease the CGPA. The reasons for this may be due to the choice of music genre that is chosen to listen while studying and completing assignments. Apart from that, the findings designate that genders, male and female had the same rate in listening to music in which both genders always listen to music |
