Abstract The main purpose of this study was to examine the effects of listening to English songs on students’ listening comprehension. In addition, it was aimed at checking if there is a significant difference in listening comprehension between boys and girls while learning to listen through English songs. Moreover, the research was conducted to check students’ attitudes towards learning to listen through English songs. In this study, the participants of the study were two intact groups of students of grade 9 sections. A Non-equivalent pre-test and post-test quasi- experimental research design was used as a research design for the current study. The students in the control group were taught listening by using audio-records as teaching tools and the students in the experimental group were taught listening by using the songs (music) as teaching tools for eight weeks. For this study, tests (pre-test & post-test) and questionnaire were used as data collection instruments. The tests were given for both control and experimental groups before (pre-test) and after (post-test) the intervention. In order to check students’ attitudes towards this way of teaching (using songs as teaching tools in EFL listening classroom), the experimental groups were given a questionnaire consisting of fourteen questions to be filled by using a five point Likert scale. An Independent samples T-test and a Paired samples T-test were used to check the mean differences of students’ listening comprehension skills before and after the intervention. The data gained from the questionnaire was calculated using descriptive statistics (mean, frequency and percentage distribution).The finding of the study revealed that there is a statistically significant difference in listening comprehension skills between the means of the experimental and control group because the difference is statistically significant at .000<.05. Hence, the use of English songs during teaching listening comprehension helped the students to improve their listening comprehension skills. However, the finding showed that there was not any significant difference in the listening comprehension between boys and girls while learning to listen through English songs because the difference between the means of male and female students both before and after the treatment was not statistically significant (i.e. .78>.05). Finally, the findings revealed that students of the experimental group showed a positive attitude towards learning to listen through English songs.
