Abstract

The importance of English as a second language (L2) has heightened in the era of globalization, with individuals worldwide striving for proficiency in academic, professional, and social contexts. This study investigates the influence of watching English-language songs on L2 acquisition, with a particular focus on psycholinguistic aspects. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the data consists of words, phrases, and sentences extracted from selected songs such as "Happier," "All I Want," "Glimpse of Us," and "Oops!... Did It Again." Through participant observation, researchers evaluate the impact of these songs on comprehension, pronunciation, listening skills, and reading abilities. Interviews further delve into the research objectives, supported by recordings and note-taking. The analysis, utilizing reflective interpretive methods, draws upon the experiences of both researchers and respondents. Oral data undergoes transcription, classification, reduction, and verification, which are then organized into tables for interpretation. The findings indicate that exposure to English songs enhances L2 proficiency, particularly in improving understanding of meaning, vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation accuracy, listening acuity, and reading fluency. These results hold significant implications for language teaching practices and future research on L2 acquisition. Integrating English songs into curricula provides engaging avenues for learners to develop listening, pronunciation, vocabulary, and reading skills. Incorporating diverse, authentic language materials, such as songs, enriches learning environments by reflecting real-life language usage. The study highlights the value of qualitative methodologies, such as participant observation and interviews, in comprehending the psycholinguistic processes involved in L2 acquisition. Future research could explore various song types, genres, and proficiency levels, while also assessing the long-term impacts of music-based language teaching. In conclusion, these findings contribute to evidence-based language teaching practices and advance our understanding of the cognitive mechanisms involved in L2 acquisition

Abstract

Intercultural communication has become a central component of Maritime English (ME) due to the increasing multicultural composition of ship crews and the safety-critical nature of communication at sea. While the Standard Marine Communication Phrases (SMCP) provide a foundational linguistic framework, effective shipboard interaction requires broader intercultural communicative competence (ICC), including pragmatic adaptation, negotiation strategies, and the ability to interpret diverse accents and hierarchical norms. Existing literature notes limitations in traditional ME instruction, particularly in seafarer-supplying nations such as Indonesia, where teaching remains focused on grammar and phrase memorization with limited exposure to authentic intercultural interactions. This study investigates the ICC of Indonesian cadets through a convergent mixed-methods design integrating an adapted Intercultural Sensitivity Scale, simulation-based communicative tasks, and semi-structured interviews. A total of 120 cadets participated in routine and emergency maritime simulations designed to elicit pragmatic strategies, clarity, and communication repair behaviours. Quantitative findings reveal significant post-simulation improvements in interaction confidence, attentiveness, and engagement. Qualitative analysis further identifies recurring challenges in pragmatic appropriateness, accent intelligibility, and communication anxiety, yet demonstrates the role of simulation-enhanced training in fostering communicative adaptability and reducing hesitation in multicultural scenarios. The study contributes empirical evidence on ICC development in maritime education and highlights the need to integrate intercultural and simulation-based pedagogy into Maritime English curricula. Recommendations are offered for curriculum designers, instructors, and policymakers to strengthen cadets’ readiness for multinational shipboard environments and align training with contemporary safety and communication demands in global shipping.
