Repository Universitas PakuanLEARNERS’ PERCEPTION USING LYRICS FEATURE IN MUSIC APPLICATION TOWARD THEIR PRONUNCIATION : A NARRATIVE INQUIRYSafa SatriadiDyandraauthorThis narrative inquiry investigates learners' perceptions and experiences in using the lyrics feature of the Spotify application as a tool to improve English pronunciation. The aim of this research is to explore how learners perceive the use of the Spotify application particularly its lyrics feature and how it influences the development of their English pronunciation ability. The study involved four second-semester students from the English Language Education Study Program at Pakuan University who had experience using Spotify for pronunciation practice. Data were collected through reflective journals and semi-structured interviews, using purposive sampling to select participants with good pronunciation scores. The research followed narrative inquiry procedures, allowing participants to share indepth personal stories and reflections. Findings reveal that learners experience increased awareness of the relationship between sounds and spelling, improved pronunciation accuracy, and greater confidence in speaking. The lyrics feature not only bridges listening and reading, but also fosters a relaxed and motivating atmosphere for pronunciation practice. These results suggest that music applications like Spotify can provide an engaging and effective tool for enhancing English pronunciation outside the classroom.
