Abstract

Analytical thinking, creative thinking, resilience, flexibility, agility, motivation, self-awareness, and a lifelong learning mindset are the top five skills out of twenty-six are crucial for the workforce. These skills are highly important to be developed in higher education through transformative learning that encourages students to broaden their perspectives or change their mindset. Previous researches investigated the transformative learning, however there is still scarce study on the practice of transformative learning in a multidisciplinary context in higher education. Therefore, this study aims to explore the practice of transformative learning across different discipline. Narrative inquire research design was employed by involving six educators teaching at a private university in Jakarta, Indonesia. Classroom observation and interview was carried to collect the data.

Abstract

Numerous investigations have delved into the cultural content and intercultural communicative competence. Nevertheless, there remains a lack of comprehensive research that directly scrutinizes these aspects within the context of Indonesian EFL textbooks, specially following new curriculum in Indonesia, the Merdeka curriculum. Therefore, this study aims to explore the representation of the culture content and intercultural communicative competence in “English for Change” and “Bahasa Inggris Tingkat Lanjut” textbooks designed for the 11th-grade students following the Merdeka Curriculum by employing content analysis. The findings suggested that both textbooks focused more on the source culture than on international and target culture. They also did not convey sufficient intercultural communicative competence. These findings imply that the government, teacher, and material developers must carefully determine and select the learning material to present a balance culture content and intercultural communicative competence in order to build students’ culture sensitivity and global awareness.

Abstract

The nursing profession in Indonesia is rapidly developing, with an increasing demand for skilled nurses who can provide high-quality patient care. As the healthcare industry becomes increasingly globalized, the ability to communicate effectively in English is becoming an essential skill for nurses. However, existing English language teaching materials for nursing do not adequately prepare nursing students and practicing nurses to face the challenges they will encounter in the global healthcare environment. To address this gap, it is necessary to develop new teaching materials specifically tailored to the needs of Indonesian nurses. Therefore, it is crucial to explore the English language needs for professional nurses in developing future English for nursing curricula and teaching materials that align with the demands of the workforce. This research has high urgency and novelty because it involves nursing students at University X in West Jakarta, Indonesia, and professional nurses who work using English as a medium, thereby connecting global needs with campus learning. The involvement of these professional nurses contributes to authentic English language input in the nursing context. Qualitative research using semi-structured interviews and questionnaires with open-ended questions will be used to collect data. The research results have implications for the development of teaching materials, curricula, and campus learning.
