An Analysis Of Students’ Difficulties in Understanding Figurative Language in Poetry Text (A Descriptive Study on Students’ Grade VIII At MTS Al-Ma’arif Rancalutung Pabuaran Serang Banten)
- Bagikan:
This study aims to analyze students’ difficulties in understanding figurative language in English poetry texts among eighth-grade students at MTS Al Ma’arif. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method to explore students’ comprehension levels and the factors influencing their challenges. Data were collected through tests, observations, and interviews with 33 students. The findings reveal that most students experience significant difficulties in identifying and interpreting types of figurative language such as metaphor, simile, personification, and hyperbole. The main factors contributing to these difficulties are linguistic limitations (lack of vocabulary and unfamiliar diction), cognitive barriers (limited abstract thinking and lack of reading experience), and affective factors (low motivation and fear of making mistakes). The study concludes that students’ understanding of figurative language remains low, highlighting the need for more interactive and contextual learning strategies. Teachers are encouraged to apply creative methods such as visual media and group discussions to enhance students’ comprehension and appreciation of poetry.
