However, songs in the classroom have been related to recreation and entertainment environment. Many learners do not know the meaning of “the lyrics”.

This experimental research involved two classes of students, one performed as an experimental group and the other one as a control group at private primary schools in Thailand. The instruments used were pretest and posttest, and a five-point Likert scale questionnaire. Furthermore, the data taken from questionnaires were investigated to find out the students’ learning satisfaction through cover Thai songs.
