This study aimed to comprehensively analyze Language Learning through Music on the academic achievement (AA), creative thinking (CT), and self-esteem (SE) of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Learners. With the rapid progress of technology, there has been a growing interest in exploring innovative teaching methods that not only enhance learning outcomes but also actively engage students in the language learning process. However, the specific impact of technology-enhanced language learning through music (TELLTM) on these language learning outcomes has received limited attention in previous research. In 2023, a sample of 360 male elementary-level language learners was selected using a multiple-stage cluster sampling (MSCS) technique. The participants' homogeneity was assessed through the Oxford Quick Placement Test (OQPT), administered following a random sampling procedure. Data collection involved the administration of three questionnaires: The academic achievement questionnaire, the self-esteem questionnaire, and the creative thinking questionnaire. The findings of the study analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics, revealed a significant positive impact of TELLTM on the AA, CT, and SE of EFL learners. These results have important implications for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers, providing valuable insights into the incorporation of TELLTM into English language instruction. The use of these three questionnaires provided valuable insights into the effectiveness of TELLTM in enhancing various aspects of language learning. These findings underscore the importance of incorporating music into language instruction and offer practical guidance for educators seeking to improve their teaching practices.
本研究旨在全面分析音乐辅助语言学习对英语作为外语学习者的学业成绩(AA)、创造性思维(CT)和自尊(SE)的影响。随着技术的快速发展,人们越来越感兴趣地探索创新的教学方法,这些方法不仅能提高学习效果,还能积极地让学生参与到语言学习过程中。然而,在之前的研究中,技术增强型音乐语言学习(TELLTM)对这些语言学习成果的具体影响受到了有限的关注。2023 年,采用多阶段聚类抽样(MSCS)技术选取了 360 名男性小学阶段语言学习者作为样本。参与者的同质性通过牛津快速安置测试(OQPT)进行评估,采用随机抽样程序进行测试。数据收集包括三个问卷:学业成绩问卷、自尊问卷和创造性思维问卷。通过描述性和推断性统计分析,研究结果发现,TELLTM 对 EFL 学习者的 AA、CT 和 SE 具有显著的积极影响。这些结果对教育工作者、课程开发者和决策者具有重要意义,为将 TELLTM 纳入英语语言教学提供了有价值的见解。这三个问卷的使用为 TELLTM 增强语言学习各个方面的有效性提供了有价值的见解。这些发现强调了将音乐融入语言教学的重要性,并为寻求改进教学实践的教育工作者提供了实用的指导。
