Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the difficulties students have when learning figurative language using short stories as real-world resources. The investigation was conducted at SMA Al-Azhar 3 Bandar Lampung and involved eleventh-grade students. Students' challenges in comprehending figurative phrases in short stories were investigated using a qualitative descriptive method. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and questionnaires. The results show that mastering figurative language presented a number of difficulties for the students. First, students' restricted vocabulary knowledge made it difficult for them to comprehend the meaning of figurative expressions. Second, students struggled to distinguish between personification, simile, and metaphor, among other forms of figurative language. Third, students found it challenging to interpret figurative meanings embedded in short stories. Students' understanding of literary texts was impacted by these difficulties. On the other hand, students were motivated to participate more actively in the learning process when short stories were used as real materials. To help students better comprehend figurative language in literary texts, teachers are advised to offer more contextual explanations and guided practice.

Abstract

This study explores students’ experiences in using LyricsTraining to support the development of critical listening in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. The research was conducted during English Club activities at SMK Muhammadiyah Way Sulan, South Lampung, involving ten Grade X students. A qualitative descriptive design was employed to examine how students engaged with the listening activities. Data were collected through classroom observations across three sessions, semi-structured interviews, and a questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings indicate that students experienced a gradual change in their listening behavior. In the early sessions, listening was dominated by word recognition and frequent audio replay. However, in later sessions, students began to demonstrate critical listening indicators such as claim identification, assumption awareness, tone interpretation, and questioning evidence. Although challenges related to fast tempo and pronunciation remained, students increasingly engaged in interpreting and evaluating the meaning of the lyrics. These findings suggest that LyricsTraining can support the gradual development of critical listening while helping learners manage listening difficulties in EFL learning environments.
