Abstract

This research aimed to explore lecturers' attitudes and the challenges faced in teaching foreign cultural values in English language learning. This research employed descriptive qualitative and hermeneutic phenomenological designs in which the research instruments used were documentation, observation, and interview. This research involved lecturers of the English Literature study program of one private university in Indonesia. The results of the data analysis showed that the lecturers' attitudes towards teaching foreign cultural values in English language learning varied. However, in general, the majority of lecturers realize the importance of integrating foreign cultural values (in this case English culture) as part of English language teaching and choose to modify materials about conflicting English cultural values. They argued that providing information about foreign cultural values that conflict with local culture is still important, but it should be accompanied by reinforcement that these values do not follow Indonesian culture. The challenges reported by the lecturers included the difficulty of finding sufficiently representative and up-to-date reference sources, the use of authentic materials that require lecturers to deliver content that contains negative cultural values or is contrary to local culture, and the strengthening of national values and local culture so that students are not easily exposed to foreign cultural values. From the student side, the challenges were the lack of motivation, learning ethos, and English skills when understanding English-language reference sources. Future researchers are advised to expand the study of the impact of using authentic materials containing foreign cultural values on student perceptions and attitudes.

Abstract

This research analyzes the metaphorical meanings in the lyrics of Coldplay's song "Fix You" using a cognitive semantics approach, specifically the theories of Lakoff and Johnson (2003) for conceptual metaphors and Croft and Cruse (2004) for image schemas. The study aims to uncover the hidden meanings within the lyrics and understand how the songwriter, Chris Martin, conveys messages through figurative language. The methodology involves listening to the song lyrics, noting down relevant phrases, and then performing a descriptive analysis. The findings reveal two types of conceptual metaphors: orientational and ontological. Out of nine analyzed song lyrics, seven were identified as ontological metaphors and two as orientational metaphors. Correspondingly, the image schema analysis identified two space image schemes, one identity image scheme, and six existence image schemes. The research concludes that the lyrics of "Fix You" metaphorically depict someone navigating difficult times and seeking reunion after loss, using physical and abstract concepts to allow for varied interpretations by listeners.
