In the textbook, a song plays a role as one of the material taught in school. There are some linguistics elements in its lyrics, and frequently students are asked to mention the meaning of the lyrics. However, idiomatic expressions contain meanings that cannot be taken literally. Therefore, students have difficulty understanding the meaning of idiomatic words. Idiomatic expressions are necessary to help the students with their vocabulary, especially when it comes to speaking skills. Focusing the students’ vocabulary in speaking using idiomatic expressions will be beneficial in helping students to communicate better without any fear of boundaries caused by the lack of vocabulary in idioms. This study aims to identify the types of idiomatic expressions in song lyrics found in the English textbook entitled Pathway to English for 11th graders of Senior High School. The other objectives are to determine the dominant type of idiomatic expressions used in the song lyrics and the implication of idiomatic expressions in language teaching, especially in speaking skill. Qualitative research design is applied in this study since it describes and analyzed the data precisely. The writer collected the data from song lyrics found in the English textbook entitled Pathway to English for 11th Graders of Senior High School. Then, the data were analyzed based on the types of idiomatic expressions proposed by Palmer (1981), which was used as the theory to analyze the idiomatic expressions employed in the song lyrics. The result of this study showed that Total Idiom or Non-Equivalence Idiom has the highest number of occurrences (44%) followed by Phrasal Verb (42%) and Partial Idiom (14%). In connection with the occurrence of the combinations in Phrasal Verb, Verb + Adverb combination has higher occurrences (73%) than Verb + Preposition combination (23%) and Verb + Adverb + Preposition combination (4%). It can be concluded that song lyrics have some idiomatic expressions that cannot be taken. The result also proved that idiomatic expressions have a significant role in terms of vocabulary found in the song lyrics, which means that idioms are mainly come up with non-literal meaning, so their usage has to be understood accurately.
