Abstract

This study highlights the difficulties of international students in understanding the language style and connotative meaning of Indonesian songs, especially those related to cultural context. Songs are considered effective as learning media because they combine language, culture, and emotion, making them suitable for advanced Indonesian for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) learning. The study aims to identify the language style in Nadin Amizah's album Selamat Ulang Tahun and explain its relevance for advanced BIPA learning. The method used is descriptive qualitative with data in the form of song lyrics, collected through a listening-noting technique. Data validity is strengthened by researcher triangulation, while analysis is carried out using an interactive model. The results of the study indicate the presence of paradox, simile, repetition, metaphor, antithesis, and personification that can be used to train advanced BIPA listening skills. In conclusion, Nadin Amizah's songs are suitable as BIPA learning media because they help learners understand Indonesian from an aesthetic, emotional, and cultural perspective in a creative and enjoyable way.
