Abstract

This research aims to understand the connotative meaning in the lyrics of the song "Aur-Auran" by Windah Basudara, examine its impact on the virtual audience, and identify the factors influencing the song’s popularity. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through lyric observation, listening, and online questionnaires. The findings show that the song carries positive connotations, such as moral advice and motivation, though some expressions contain negative nuances that may be less suitable for younger audiences. The impact varies: 29% of respondents feel motivated to improve themselves, 20% enjoy the humor, and 12% criticize certain inappropriate terms. The song’s popularity is driven by its creative, spontaneous, and interactive delivery. This study contributes to the understanding of how digital music content conveys connotative meaning, influences audiences in virtual spaces, and shapes cultural interaction in the digital era. Keywords : Meaning of the song; semantic analysis; windah basudara

Abstract

This study exploresses the role of culture in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching for Kurdish learners in higher education. Using a mixed-methods design, data were collected from 97 students and 48 teachers across three universities in Iraqi Kurdistan through questionnaires and interviews. The analysis combined percentage-based survey findings with thematic insights from teacher perspectives. The results indicate that cultural integration has a marked effect on language learning outcomes. A large majority of students (85%) reported that exposure to cultural contexts enhanced their communicative competence, while 78% highlighted the value of learning cultural scripts such as politeness and social norms. Similarly, 72% stressed the importance of non-verbal communication, and 90% of participants agreed that culturally relevant materials increased their motivation and classroom engagement. However, the findings also reveal notable challenges: 75% of teachers lacked sufficient training in cultural pedagogy, and 70% cited limited access to authentic cultural resources. These findings suggest that language teaching cannot be separated from cultural content without risking reduced communicative effectiveness. For EFL classrooms in Kurdistan, the study highlights the need to expand teacher training, invest in authentic cultural materials, and promote experiential learning activities. By embedding culture within language instruction, educators can foster more effective, engaging, and globally relevant learning experiences for their students.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the use of metaphor and contextual meaning in selected songs from Charlie Puth’s album Nine Track Mind. The study draws upon figurative language theory and contextual semantics as the main analytical frameworks. The objective is to find metaphor within the songs, contextual meaning from the songs, and the overall message of the album. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the study focuses on five songs: “One Call Away,” “Dangerously,” “Marvin Gaye,” “We Don’t Talk Anymore,” and “See You Again.” A total of 28 metaphorical expressions were identified, each reflecting emotions such as longing, heartbreak, desire, and personal growth. Contextual meaning was also analyzed to uncover how social, emotional, and cultural backgrounds shape lyric interpretation. The findings show that metaphors in Puth’s lyrics effectively convey emotional depth and connect with listeners’ experiences. Contextual elements add further meaning, enriching the interpretation of the songs. The album as a whole communicates themes of vulnerability, emotional struggle, and modern relationship dynamics. This study concludes that metaphor and context together create multi-layered meanings in song lyrics and offer valuable insights into semantic expression through music. Keywords : Metaphors; Contextual Meaning; Semantics;, Song Lyrics
