Songwriters utilize figurative language to portray their ideas, sentiments, and emotions in a manner that is more intriguing, attractive, and distinctive. This encourages this research to study a song written by Paul Mauriat entitled "Love is Blue." This song is analyzed to answer some research objectives, namely what figurative languages are frequently used by the writer, how the contextual meaning is built, and what emotions are expressed by the writer. Through the analysis, this present study finds five types of figurative language in this song with different percentages. With 38% of the total, metaphor dominates the use of figurative language. The rest of the figurative language found in this study consists of alliteration (33%), hyperbole (11%), repetition (11%), and personification (7%). Also, there are three basic emotions that are found in every context of the lyrics that indicate the use of figurative language. Those are the emotions of sadness, anger, and happiness. The findings indicate that the use of figurative language can express various types of emotions.

Being Willing to Communicate (WTC) in English is significant since communicating in another language is considered to be a crucial part of learning a foreign language. Without it, the students only learn English in a passive way. This study, therefore, aims to explore the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) to investigate the Willingness to Communicate (WTC) in English of EFL learners. This research uses mixed methods, especially Embedded Design, to explore CLT and investigate WTC in English of EFL learners. Qualitative analysis begins this research through observation and interviews. The results of both are then strengthened by the results of quantitative analysis through the questionnaire. It was found that there were various communicative activities implemented by the teacher. Those are effectively conducted by the teacher to promote communicative language teaching in the classroom. Another finding is that there are six WTC patterns, and the pattern of voluntary participation in class activities has the highest percentage of occurrences. The conclusion that can be drawn from this research is that the willingness to communicate (WTC) in English for EFL learners is regarded as high or very willing.

The students do not always feel at ease when working in groups or pairs. One of the reasons for this discomfort is the presence of power dynamics among the students. Therefore, this study focuses on investigating these dynamics and aims to achieve three main goals. Firstly, it aims to identify the indicators of power in student-student interactions between female and male EFL learners. Secondly, it aims to describe the relationships that are formed among them. Lastly, it aims to determine which participants exhibit more power in these interactions. The methodology employed in this study is qualitative, utilizing a classroom discourse analysis to identify the behaviors that manifest during student-student interactions. The data is examined using the theories of process types within systemic functional linguistics. The findings are then utilized to infer which participants wield more power in the interactions. The analysis reveals that a significant majority of the participants' process types indicate the presence of power. Furthermore, the relationship between female and male EFL learners is neither cooperative nor competitive, as one gender tends to dominate while the other has less ability to challenge this dominance. Thus, either female or male EFL learners can exhibit more power in the interaction. These findings indicate that power dynamics in interactions are not inherently tied to gender.

This study investigates the reading difficulties faced by EFL learners and proposes possible solutions for English Education students in an Indonesian university. Reading comprehension is a vital component of the English education curriculum, as it enables students to comprehend and analyze texts effectively. To conduct this study, a descriptive strategy was employed in combination with a qualitative approach. The questionnaire was designed to identify common challenges encountered by students, including difficulties in text translation, enhancing motivation, and the teaching methods employed by instructors. Data was collected through interview sessions, questionnaire responses, and documentation. The findings revealed that students predominantly struggled with sentence comprehension. By addressing these issues and fostering a desire to read, related challenges such as limited vocabulary, grammar proficiency, and sentence interpretation can be effectively tackled. Moreover, some students faced difficulties arising from inadequate teaching methods employed by their instructors. Consequently, this study concludes that students' reading difficulties primarily revolve around understanding the text itself, which in turn leads to other complications such as grammar mastery, vocabulary limitations, and text translation problems. These factors emerge from both students themselves and the instructional approaches adopted by their teachers.

This ethnographic case study delves into the intricate reading habits of a fifth-semester EFL learner, exploring the multifaceted dynamics of her engagement with both fiction and non-fiction literature. The research unfolds the pivotal role of early exposure to reading, fostered by parental encouragement, in shaping a lifelong commitment to literary pursuits. The participant's diverse reading practices, encompassing print and e-books, reflect a nuanced approach to language acquisition and vocabulary enrichment. The study reveals a positive correlation between extensive reading habits and academic performance, particularly in TOEFL reading comprehension and overall language proficiency. The participant's transition from composing stories in Indonesian to writing in English, coupled with the abandonment of subtitles while engaging with English media, underscores the transformative impact of sustained reading habits on language skills. This research not only enhances the understanding of individual reading behaviors but also emphasizes broader implications for language development, academic success, and the cultivation of writing skills. Further research should investigate the unique impacts of different genres on language acquisition, the influence of digital platforms on reading behaviors, and how reading intersects with socioeconomic and cultural factors. A longitudinal study tracking individuals from infancy to adulthood might uncover the long-term impacts of early literacy. Further investigation is required to explore the impact of personalized reading programs in EFL courses on language proficiency and academic performance. Further research in this field can potentially enhance EFL teaching and overall progress.

The COVID-19 pandemic is thought to have changed the way people communicate in society. It has ushered in a new way of living that is fully conducted online. It urges this study to concentrate on examining online communications, particularly men's and women's online casual conversations. The qualitative approach was employed to accomplish this. Three basic processes were carried out in greater depth. The first step was to tape the dialogue, which was transcribed using the theory of Eggins & Slade (1997). To strengthen the data, an unstructured interview was conducted (Mackey & Gass, 2005). Finally, to expose the phenomenon of overlap, the data were evaluated using theories proposed by numerous experts, such as Schegloff (2000), Cogo & Dewey (2012), Yule (1996), and many more. The results were afterward developed into rich verbal descriptions. Analysis shows that men's and women's online casual conversations have different patterns of overlap. This can happen because of the influence of what they have received throughout their lives about how to be a man and a woman. The gender values they get from their environment greatly affect how they communicate and interact with others.

Challenges always exist in learning any English skills, including vocabulary building. This leads to the fact that EFL learners still do not know what strategies can be used to enrich English vocabularies. This qualitative study therefore aims to investigate what strategies are used by EFL learners and the challenges experienced by them in enriching and memorizing vocabularies. To achieve those objectives, this research categorizes the respondents into three groups, namely the first, second and third grades of senior high school. They are all interviewed in a semi structured way to find out in-depth data. The analyses reveal that the respondents employ various strategies to enrich the English vocabularies. The majority of the first grade respondents use the strategy of watching movies, reading English books and saying English words repeatedly. Then, the second grade respondents prefers to use the strategy of saying the English words repeatedly, watching movies and reading articles. Lastly, the third grade of the respondents use the strategy of watching movies and listening to music. This indicates that enriching vocabulary not only requires formal strategies in the classroom but also informal strategies outside the classroom.
