Abstract
Rap music has a decisive role in teaching to help students feel happy and relaxed. There are various obstacles found in using it, such as cultural constraints and the fast tempo to pronounce its lyrics. This study aimed to analyse the perceptions of students who perceived English learning by using rap music media. The population was 36 elementary school students, while the sample was 18 students at English extracurricular classes in private elementary schools in Depok, West Java. They had received English language teaching by using rap music media from September 2017 to December 2017. The research data were taken using questionnaires and interviews. The results showed that the students' music tastes, habits of listening to English music, and fatigue factors influenced their enjoyment of learning English by using rap music. However, students often exposed to English songs, considered it necessary to apply English teaching using rap music media. The student felt motivated to learn the pronunciation of rap music, which they judged too fast. The positive thing obtained from teaching using rap music was that most of the students would relax without feeling tense when they were learning if it compared to the conventional method.
