Abstract

This research describes the Sufism and spiritual interpretation of several Letto Songs. This research uses descriptive qualitative. The analysis shows that religious meanings may be detected in the lyrics of Letto's song entitled “Sebelum Cahaya, Sandaran Hati, Ruang Rindu, Permintaan Hati, Lubang di Hati, Dalam Duka, Sebenarnya Cinta, Jalan Yang Hilang”. Overall, the religious sentiments contained in the Letto band's songs demonstrate that the words in Letto's songs may be utilized as reflection material or guidance for the general audience to better comprehend the religion. The meaning of Letto's song lyrics penetrates deep and sublime love, they make up the lyrics as if they were only conveyed to humans. Letto’s songs usually also tell stories about spirituality or contain religious values that are very strong in their song. If we understand Letto's songs, we must go through two understandings of text and non-text (meaning hidden behind the depths of words). If we only understand it from a textual point of view, we will only find Letto's songs are just love songs between a pair of humans. However, if we dissect the non-textual side, we will find a Sufistic understanding that songs are a reflection of the animosity between man and his Beloved; Lord. If we are more careful and absorb the lyrics of some of Letto's songs, we will surely feel as if we are being transported to a situation wherein in that space there are only us and God. In the Sufi world, the lyrics and stanzas of a song are a form of expression of love for God the Creator.

Abstract

This library research describes the importance of understanding Educational Psychology and English Language Teaching (ELT) to EFL and non-EFL students. Educational psychology is a vital skill for educators to effectively teach students, as it helps them understand their personality, thinking patterns, learning readiness, motivation, emotional state, and difficulties in learning English such as reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. English teachers can utilise this understanding to design the lesson plan, handle classroom management, and offer guidance and counselling for students. English teachers/lecturers should set learning objectives, choose appropriate strategies, and foster a positive learning environment. Thus, mastering educational psychology helps English language teachers and lecturers to overcome learning problems and foster a conducive environment in the classroom. Further, studying educational psychology offers numerous benefits for English teachers/lecturers and prospective English teachers/lecturers, such as understanding individual differences, creating conducive learning environments, choosing the right learning strategy, providing guidance, and motivating learners. They must be aware of their students' personalities and preferences to create effective learning. Equally significant, educational psychology contributes to curriculum design, the learning system, and assessment systems, helping English teachers/lecturers understand the unique needs and abilities of students and guide academic problems.
