Abstract

Grammar overall, is a challenging language skill. Even experienced English lecturers may face difficulties in explaining grammar to students. Grammar is the primary skill to be developed when learning English as a foreign language. Yet, when other languages' skills gained more attention, grammar came to be seen as the least important skill. Without using proper assessment to reduce student understanding, this is frequently explained in a straightforward manner by means of other skills. This study focuses on the challenges English language teachers use when teaching grammar at the second-grade level. In this essay, every single English language teacher participates. The researchers interviewed them, copied, and analysed the data obtained from the interview. Problems and difficulties of students are no less important for lecturers to know in teaching grammatical structures. In this case, English lecturers are challenged to find more strategic and creative ways of teaching grammar. Mastery of good grammar guarantees students' ability to master other skills such as writing and speaking. Due to this, the study may benefit other English language teachers and lead to new ideas for addressing the problem at hand. Everyone agreed that she experienced three challenges while they were learning grammar. This study can be a good reference for other English lecturers and students, and parents in overcoming these challenges.

The purposes of the research were to identify and to describe the types of hyperbolic expressions used in the song lyrics of famous male singer Bruno Mars.

Ten popular songs sung by Bruno Mars became the focus entitled Grenade, Dancing with the Star, 24K Magic, Just the Way You Are, It Will Rain, Locked Out of Heaven, Versace on the Floor, Nothin’ on You, Lost and Talking to the Moon. The researcher only took those songs which were released from 2010 till the latest as sources of data. The data were collected and analysed by linguistic theory related to hyperboles as proposed by Christodoulidou (2011). The finding shows that there are 87 hyperbolic expressions found in song lyrics of Bruno Mars. There are 38 hyperboles in the song lyrics of Bruno Mars grouped as overstatement and the rest are 19 hyperboles grouped as hyperboles in impossible description. The first type becomes the most frequent hyperbole type used in the song lyrics of Bruno Mars and the second becomes the least. It can be concluded that hyperboles in song lyrics play powerful social functions and allow songwriters to convey complex emotions, create lasting impressions, and craft lyrics that resonate with a wide audience. The use of figurative language serves as an effective means to enhance the words employed in song lyrics.
