1.    Title

The title is the first part that you will put in the journal. After you know what topic that you want to tell in your journal, you have to give a title. Because if there is no title in your journal, your reader will be confused to indicate the topic.

The last part that are available in the journal, in this part the researcher just put the data of journals that they have looked in other journals. This is very important because when the researcher make the journal, they will take the ideas from other journals and it is not theirs (the researcher) so they must put it to avoid plagiarism.

Well, I have given you the information about the parts that should be available in the journal right? And next, I will tell you the part of introduction from the journal that I have read. The title of the journal that I have read is “The Use of Songs in Teaching Students’ Listening Ability”.

Introduction

Listening is an important ability that has to be mastered for all of people. It is very important because it affects the communication with the others. to understand the meaning of the message that conveyed by their partner, a good listening ability is needed. (Kirwan, 2009). Burnard’s (1992) cited in Kirwan (2009), he states that listening and attending are cited as the two most important elements of communication.

Listening also required in the academic context especially in EFL class. Students in EFL class face many difficulties in communication. It is not because of they are lake their ability in listening but it is also the teachers’ problem. Snell (1999) states that the common problem for EFL teachers in traditional classroom is dealing with passive class where the students being unresponsive and avoid interaction with the teacher. The teachers should give the motivation to the students because it is their obligation to make the students from passive listeners to be effective listeners. In addition, the teachers also have to do an interactive way to develop their ability. The importance of finding listening strategy also suggested by Wallace et al. (2004), he states that experience with a variety of reading, writing and speaking activities in school can help learners acquire the skills they need to be successful.

Murphey (1990) suggests that many English teachers have long recognized that song and music work well in language classes. They can use a song as a media to face the students’ difficulties and also improve their listening ability. This is a for them and it can be interesting to learn listening through a song. The students can enjoy in learning and they can get more motivations to learn listening.
