Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the strategies that EFL teachers use to overcome learning barriers in the classroom. A mixed methods approach was used to collect data through a Likert-scale questionnaire with 30 teachers and interviews with three teachers from various regions in Indonesia. Quantitative findings revealed that teachers frequently employed strategies such as differentiated instruction, motivational support, and digital media integration. Through thematic coding, the qualitative analysis further revealed specific techniques, including simplifying materials, employing collaborative learning, managing student focus, and encouraging passive learners through praise and rapport building. These results underscore the importance of adaptive, student-centered teaching practices for addressing the diverse challenges in EFL classrooms. The study suggests that a combination of cognitive, emotional, and technological strategies is essential for improving learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study examines the metaphorical language style in Aziz Hedra's album "Lesson Learned" through the Conceptual Metaphor Theory as articulated by Lakoff and Johnson (1980), using the MIPVU as an analytical instrument in a qualitative descriptive methodology. The investigation focused on five carefully selected songs, from which forty-two distinct metaphorical expressions were extracted and systematically categorized according to ontological, structural, and orientational classifications. The findings indicate that ontological metaphors occupy a dominant position, conceptualizing emotional states as real entities and constructing a unified emotional trajectory that progresses from suffering to healing. The study ultimately argues that metaphors operate as fundamental cognitive mechanisms rather than merely decorative linguistic features, thus advancing the analysis of both cognitive linguistics and musicology through an increased understanding of emotional significance in lyrical compositions.
