Melody has been known to have positive effects for language learning as well as memory aid. This study investigated the effects of song and spoken texts in relation to aspects that are three-folded in character: the effects between immediate and delayed texts, between L1 and L2, and among word, phrase, and sentence levels. As a result, adult EFL learners have shown a different tendency of memory recall between L1 and L2. Melody text has positive effects on immediate tests in L1 and delayed tests in L2. The positive tendency of using melody for longer text recall in L2 was observed. The findings have some implications on the potential benefits for using songs for developing chunking skills for EFL learning. Also, the data extracted from questionnaires and interviews confirmed the results from the experiment and provided the empirical evidence and more in-depth information.
