Abstract

Effective classroom Communication is essential, particularly in English for Specific Purposes (ESP), where language and technical knowledge must be integrated. However, the functional role of lecturer code-switching in an ESP classroom remains underexplored, particularly in vocational contexts where communication directly supports professional readiness. This study aims to investigate the discourse functions of lecturer code-switching in an  ESP classroom at Barombong Merchant Marine Polytechnic. A qualitative case study design was employed, with data collected through classroom observations, interviews, audio recordings, field notes, and reflective journals. The data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive model, including data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. This study contributes by extending code-switching research into an ESP context and addressing the need for effective instructional communication in vocational education. The findings revealed six key discourse functions of lecturer code-switching: (1) encouraging student responsiveness, (2) managing classroom activities, (3) explicating content explanations, (4) giving clear instructions, (5) clarifying difficult points, and (6) correcting student errors. These functions served to bridge comprehension gaps, support classroom management, and enhance student engagement in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) learning. In conclusion, code-switching functions as a strategic pedagogical tool that enhances comprehension, classroom interaction, and instructional effectiveness in ESP classrooms.

Abstract

This research examines the English language competencies required by industry stakeholders in the Maritime Transportation Management sector. A mixed-methods approach with a convergent design was employed, integrating quantitative and qualitative data to obtain a comprehensive understanding of industry needs. Data were collected through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, involving 14 respondents, comprising maritime industry practitioners and representatives of educational institutions. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis through methodological triangulation. The findings indicate that speaking and listening skills are the primary competencies required in Maritime English, particularly for operational communication and workplace coordination. In addition, reading and writing skills are also considered essential for understanding and producing technical documents and professional correspondence. Mastery of maritime terminology and contextual translation skills is regarded as an important supporting competency, ensuring information accuracy and preventing miscommunication in professional settings. Therefore, a reorientation of the Maritime English syllabus toward a more contextual, applied, and professionally competency-based approach is necessary to enhance the readiness of Maritime Transportation Management graduates to meet the demands of the global maritime industry.
