Abstract

This research was aimed to find out factors affecting students’ challenges in listening comprehension as perceived by students at SMAN 1 Calang. This is a descriptive qualitative study. The samples of this research were selected by using purposive sampling. There were 75 eleventh-grade students who participated in this research.

The questionnaire consisted of 30 items grouped into five categories, namely students’ listening comprehension challenges related to factors attributed to the content and linguistics features of the listening text, factors attributed to the speaker, factors attributed to the listener, and factors attributed to the physical setting. Moreover, the interview consisted of three questions asking students’ opinion about listening comprehension, challenges they faced in listening comprehension activity, and factors that caused those challenges. The result indicates listening texts, speaker, listener, and physical setting were the main sources of students’ listening comprehension challenges. The dominant factor affecting students’ challenges in listening comprehension was the physical setting such as the noise from environmental surroundings, with the percentage of 89.6%.

Abstract

Songs are made up from lyrics and tone which function to entertain and to deliver messages. Often time song’s lyrics contain metaphorical language as the way to express ideas and emotions. This research discusses the use of figurative language in Banda Neira’s album yang patah tumbuh, yang hilang berganti. It looks at the types of figurative language and messages conveyed in the song lyrics. Data was taken from the songs collection in the album. This is a qualitative study using document analysis as its technique of data collection. The research found figurative language was used thirty times in five songs analyzed from Banda Neira’s album. The types of figurative language use were classified based on Keraf’s figurative language framework (2009). The results of the research show that the forty times of the figurative language used can be divided into nine types. This paper discusses these types with examples found in the songs. This research is hoped to offer more insights to the understanding of how different ways of figurative language use can add to the beauty and aesthetical elements of literary works by looking closely Banda Neira’s songs in the album.Keywords: type of figurative language, Banda Neira’s songs, song lyrics analysis.
