SUMMARY OF LEARNING TECHNIQUES USING SONG, STORY, AND GAMES

A. TEACHING LISTENING
1. Teaching Listening Using Song
In teaching young learners, songs are one of the best alternatives that can be used in
learning English. According to Ratminingsih et al (2021), by using songs, it is certainly a good
breakthrough for students to improve listening skills, speaking skills, pronunciation, language
learning culture, and increase students' motivation to learn English. Then Ratminingsih et al
(2021) also stated that In teaching English by singing, the teacher must really think carefully
about the activities that will be carried out before listening to the song, while listening to, and
after listening to the song, so that the purpose of using the song will be conveyed properly.
Teaching English by using songs can be used in listening learning, this is because songs are the
media used to be heard. By using songs, teaching listening will be easier for teachers and
students will like it more because it is accompanied by fun music. Examples of listening learning
using songs are as follows.

teacher stops the song on the lyrics "rectangle", then the students have to lift rectangle
shapes.

interact. Storytelling activities in learning can use stories that are suitable for children's abilities
and according to children, such as fables or stories that tell about animals. The story used can
also be in the form of audio and video so that it will make students more interested in listening to
the story. Storytelling activities can be done in many ways such as with pictures, puppets,
puppets, finger puppets, etc.)
Teaching English by storytelling is highly recommended. By telling stories, many skills
