Abstract
Bu çalışmada dinleme sınıflarında şarkı kullanımı ve seçimi konusu incelenmektedir. Başlangıç seviyesindeki 3 öğrenciye farklı türlerde 9 şarkı dinletilmiş veşarkı başına 3 dinleme ile sözlerde bırakılan boşlukları doldurmaları istenmiştir.En iyi anlaşılan şarkılar akustik soft rock ve soft rock türlerindeki şarkılar olmuştur. Bulgulara gore telaffuzun netliğinin ve enstrüman yoğunluğunun azlığınınanlamayı artıran etmenler arasında olduğu görülmektedir. Öte yandan, solistin milliyetinin anlamada bir etkisi olmadığı görülmektedir. Farklı türlerdeki daha fazlaşarkı analizi alana katkıda bulunabilir
