    ABSTRACT : This research investigates the impact of English pop song lyrics on the development of colloquial language skills among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. The study involved 41 third-year EFL students at Mohamed Boudiaf University in Msila, who completed a questionnaire assessing their perceptions of the effectiveness of pop song lyrics in colloquial language learning. The findings reveal that participants have positive views about the educational value of pop song lyrics. They actively engage with song lyrics, consciously attempt to learn colloquial expressions, and comfortably incorporate them into their language use. Additionally, participants believe that pop song lyrics accurately represent real-world colloquial language and that exposure to various pop songs enhances their colloquial language competence and cross-cultural communication skills. These results highlight the potential benefits of incorporating pop song lyrics into EFL instruction. However, it's important to acknowledge the study's limitations, such as a relatively small sample size and a specific cultural context. Further research is needed to optimize language education methods and outcomes.
