Abstract
Bu çalışma, Kosovalı öğrencilerin İngilizce şarkı dinlemesinin İngilizce öğrenme üzerindeki etkisini incelemektedir. Çalışmada, öğrencilerin gerek boş zamanlarında gerekse yabancı dil dersinde mümkün olduğunca çok İngilizce şarkı dinlemeleri, öğrencilerin yabancı dil (İngilizce) öğrenmesini hızlandıran olumlu bir faktör olarak görülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Kosova'daki öğrencilerin İngilizce öğrenmesinde İngilizce şarkı dinlemenin rolünü görmektir. Bu nedenle, çalışma, İngilizce müzik dinleyen öğrencilerin, az miktarda İngilizce müzik dinlemeyen veya dinlemeyen diğer öğrencilere kıyasla daha iyi İngilizce dil becerilerine sahip olduğu hipotezini doğrulamaktadır. Araştırmada uygulanan araştırma yaklaşımı nicel araştırma yaklaşımıdır. Araştırmanın örneklemini Gjilan belediyesinde bulunan ekonomi lisesinde okuyan öğrenciler oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada uygulanan araçlar bir anket içermektedir. Çalışmanın temel bulguları ve sonuçları, İngilizce müzik dinleyen öğrencilerin, İngilizce müzik dinleyen veya hiç müzik dinlemeyen diğer öğrencilere kıyasla İngilizce'de daha iyi konuşma ve anlama becerilerine sahip olduklarını kanıtlamaktadır. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına atıfta bulunularak, İngilizce öğretmenlerine İngilizce şarkıları uygulamaları, İngilizce konuşma ve anlama konusunda en iyi becerileri geliştirmeleri önerilmektedir. Bu öneri aynı zamanda herhangi bir yabancı dil öğreten öğretmenler için de geçerlidir.

Abstract
This study examines the impact that listening to songs in English by Kosovo students has on
learning English. In the study, listening to as many English songs as possible by the students,
either in their free time or in the foreign language class is seen as a positive factor that
accelerates the learning of the foreign language (English) by the students. The purpose of this
study is to see the role of listening to English songs in learning English by students in Kosovo.
Therefore, the study confirms the hypothesis that students who listen to English-language music
have better English language skills, compared to other students who do not listen to, or listen to
very little, English music. The research approach applied in the study is quantitative research
approach. The sampling of the study includes students who study in the economic high school in
the municipality of Gjilan. The instruments implemented in the study include a questionnaire.
The main results and conclusions of the study prove that students who listen to music in English
have better speaking and comprehension skills in English, compared to other students who listen
to little or no music in English. Referring to the results of the study, it is suggested to English
teachers to incorporate English songs into their teaching, to improve their speaking and
comprehension skills. This suggestion also applies to teachers who teach any foreign language.
