Summary:[...]with the dominant characteristic of Thais as EFL learners, they may be shy or reluctant to take opportunity to speak English among non-native and native speakers. Because there is no urgent need to use English for survival, many students do not put enough effort to take charge of their learning to improve their English skills. Ellis (1994) suggested the students make use of the abundant resources and media to help them improve language skills beyond the classroom. [...]teachers should make efforts to analyze students' needs, provide motivationstimulating activities, and create an atmosphere for learning, and give students the opportunity to use English in their daily situations or every day's lives. Cook (2001) suggested employing authentic materials in language instruction as they provide ample examples of language use in daily life. [...]to fulfill students' language proficiency, many modern teachers in EFL have shifted their central role from spoon feeders to be facilitators who can also give the students some advice on how to practice English with abundant resources. English teachers should find ways for students to participate actively in vocabulary learning to enhance their vocabulary knowledge. Since the researcher has seen the advantages of integrating out-of-class instructional media with songs as well as realized the importance of enhancing students' vocabulary, this research is conducted along with the rationale mentioned above.
