Introduction
EFL (English as a Foreign Language) is an international language using English that is most importantly used as a form of communication tool between countries with different languages and different native languages.EFL in Indonesia means that English in Indonesia is considered a foreign language and not a second language.
According to Gebhard (2006), EFL is the learning of English by people who live in a country and do not use English as their primary language for communication.She further explained that in such a learning arrangement, students can have an opportunity to learn English to communicate outside the classroom.The same definition is expressed by Harmer (2007), stating that EFL as the teaching of English in which students learn English in their own country or engage in short courses conducted in English language teaching.Speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, Scotland, or New Zealand.The third definition is stated by Cameson (2007) who explains that EFL children can move to countries where their own language is spoken and that these children can be required to learn English for academic types of study, for study tours to countries where English is spoken.He also states that EFL children spend a few hours per week learning English, have few English lessons outside of class, have few opportunities to practice their newly acquired language skills and have a classroom background (Camenson 2007).
It is known that many children like to play games and listen to music.Children sometimes do these activities in their spare time, therefore many researchers have tried these games so that teachers and children can apply these activities in the classroom, especially learning English vocabulary.Music and songs have an effective cultural teacher component and students can use this component to enhance English language (EFL) learning for several reasons.Firstly, learners are general and a complete part of people's daily lives.Most human beings will involve learners, whether it is a main or supporting component.Learners are present in a wide variety of settings including religious communities, education, facilities, and recreation.Secondly, they are also very loyal in various learning activities in the environment so that society accepts them.With the help of technology in particular, music and songs are now easily accessible.Young learners, for example, almost listen to music non-stop.Third, musical intelligence is one of the intelligences.
Gardner (2011) suggests that a musical person is their ability to acquire, remember and interpret patterns independently or in collaboration with other intelligences, to create things and solve problems.Therefore, many people want to learn English as early as possible.
English is taught before children or young learners enter kindergarten or even pre-school.The process of learning and teaching English differs from pre-school to university.They are all concerned with the different characteristics of toddlers, children, teenagers, and adults.That difference will bring different strategies.Young learners in children range from 5 to 12 years old (Rixon 1999), while others or the public have different opinions.In other words, young learners are those (students) who spend years in the early stage before they make the transition to the secondary stage.Teaching English to young learners will be different than teaching intermediate or advanced learners.The age of the learners plays an important role in what and how to teach.According to Fauziati (2010 : 89) teaching young children is demanding both in terms of social and cognitive development.This means that teaching young learners involves more physical activity and interaction with the social environment.
In addition, excellence in terms of affective and emotional factors can affect the learning process (Nunan, 1991 : 234).This is believed to come from the humanistic approach.It believes the learning success they achieve has a good and correct attitude, interest, and motivation.In conclusion, it can be defined that the humanistic approach instills aspects, such as behavior, feelings, emotions, linguistic, cognitive, skills, and social of children in the environment.
Based on the research background from above, it can be said that this research emphasizes the importance of learning English to teach vocabulary to young learners to form pronunciations, language sentences, and a learning skill.All stages of teaching are from 5 to 12 years old.Despite this, students still face many challenges in understanding vocabulary.It is worth investigating the difficulties of young learners and making a plan for teaching young learners.This study can help language teachers on how to teach English vocabulary to young learners especially EFL students.
Songs are something that cannot be separated from the world of children.The purpose of creating a song is not only to be enjoyed by the listener.Suyatno (2010) says that, in addition to being listened to, songs can also be used as media tools in language learning.Therefore, the purpose of this research is to attract easy learners especially children to increase English vocabulary and improve memory then understand vocabulary effectively.
Is the teaching of EFL vocabulary in young learners through children's song media effectively increasing vocabulary?

Vocabulary
Vocabulary is a very important aspect that must be mastered in learning English vocabulary.That is the reason why it is important that vocabulary is related to language skills.Anwar and Enfransyah (2018), explain that vocabulary is an important aspect in learning a language because it provides meaning used by humans to communicate.In addition, Nugroho and Suprapto (2018) students must have a lot of vocabulary in learning a new language.Vocabulary mastery is the first step in communication (Katemba, 2021).

Teaching vocabulary with songs, young learners also like to sing a song.By them singing a song, they not only get new vocabulary but also practice listening skills, pronunciation, grammar, learn about other cultures, and also motivate young learners' learning (Dzanic and Pejic, 2016;Mejzini, 2016;Millington, 2011in Ratminingsih et al., 2021 p.174).Teachers should consider the songs to be used and the learning activities should also be good to support the learning activities of these young learners.The teacher can play and repeat the song and then ask the students what vocabulary they are listening to, and can also fill in the missing words from the lyrics or choose the right words to fill in the words.
Using songs in teaching English vocabulary to children makes the learning need to be actively involved.To be active or not shy, they must first be close.If this principle is extended to the EFL setting, it means that children's language lessons should be active.The learners learn independently and the teacher is only a support.
Students should engaged in activities that make them comfortable enough, they feel good.Classroom activities should be creative to give students the opportunity to learn independently.For them to learn independently.The educational theory of humanism emphasizes self-actualization, meaningful learning, an emotional bond between teachers and students, and student-centered education.The educational theory of humanism emphasizes self-actualization, meaningful learning, an emotional bond between teachers and students, and student-centered education.Thus, it does not matter what methodology the teacher uses.According to the needs of children, teachers with a humanistic approach will let them learn to remember, understand, think and learn.
