Extra Curricular Activities

Definition of incidental learning
Incidental learning may occur in institutions, but it is not typically classroom-based or highly structured, and the control of learning rests primarily in the hands of the learner.
Incidental learning is defined as a byproduct of some other activity, such as
task accomplishment,
interpersonal interaction,
sensing the organizational culture,
trial-and-error experimentation, or
even formal learning.
[Marsick and Watkins, 1990, Garrick (1998)]

Previous implementation
The study was meant to enable students experience more opportunities to interact actively during the learning process. They were provided the lyrics of the songs with some missing words to fill out while listening to the songs.
As a pre-listening activity, the class discussed the subject of the songs and some relevant vocabulary items in terms of their four aspects, namely pronunciation, spelling, meaning and usage of words.
Then, the students listened to the song, did vocabulary and grammar activities, worked in pairs/groups to complete the activities, and later listened and sang along the songs more than once to check answers and correct errors.
