The result of the data analysis shows that the eighth grade students of SMP Negeri 6 Kupang are able to fill the mising words and answer the questions when listening to the English songs.

Even though the majority of students answered excellent, there were some students who scored below standard. From the results of the interviews some of the difficulties faced by these students were the difficulty in understanding the meaning of the songs and the questions given. Limited knowledge of English was the main reason for some of these students not answering the questions correctly. There are students who are wrong with the answers chosen because according to them there are similarities in the writing and sound in the questions, there are students who choose the wrong answer because they confused with the lyrics. In addition, the lack of student interest in learning English also affects their low grades. Based on the result above, the writer could suggest 1. For the English Teachers of the Researched School.
