Abstract

When learning English as a foreign language, students sometimes need help, such as a lack of competence and practice; they know the language but must learn how to use it correctly. For those reasons, students need a communication strategy to solve their problems. Therefore, this study aims to identify and analyze the communication strategies used by job seekers and employee students in an English Course Semarang during their conversation class. Employing a qualitative research method, data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, and transcription of audio recordings conducted over two weeks in February 2024. The study applied Tarone and Casper's theoretical framework to classify communication strategies. The findings reveal that topic avoidance and language switching were the most frequently used strategies (each 25.38%), followed by code-switching (20.78%), appeal to authority (19.24%), and message abandonment (9.23%). These findings underscore the importance of fostering an engaging classroom atmosphere that encourages learners to communicate actively and confidently in English. The practical implications of this research enable teachers to enhance speaking activities with guided reflection, allowing students to analyze and refine their strategies in real time.

Abstract

The practice of ESP learning in maritime colleges is heavily depended on the coursebook. This study evaluates the coursebook 'Bahasa Inggris untuk Perwira Kapal Niaga' used by nautical cadets at Politeknik Bumi Akpelni. Using Daous and Celce-Murcia (1979) checklist, this study attempt to assess the alignment of coursebook content with International Maritime Organization (IMO) standards and the principles of English as an International Language (EIL). Using a qualitative research approach, the study combined content analysis of the coursebook focusing on aspects such as linguistic accuracy, relevance of topics, integration of language skills, and intercultural elements with interviews involving lecturers, officers, and cadets. The findings reveal that while the coursebook incorporates several IMO standards, such as the language and the content, more EIL principles must be covered, particularly regarding linguistic diversity and adaptability in real-world scenarios. For instance, the coursebook lacks exposure to varied English accents, non-native speaker interactions, and culturally diverse communication contexts that cadets may encounter in multinational crews. Interviews highlighted the book"™s strengths in providing foundational maritime terminology but noted its limitations in fostering practical cross-cultural communication skills. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating EIL principles with IMO standards in maritime English education to enhance the communicative competence of future seafarers. The recommendations, including revising the coursebook to incorporate more interactive and culturally diverse exercises, can significantly improve cadets"™ preparation for global maritime operations. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on improving maritime English education and curriculum development.

Abstract

This research study explores the challenges and best practices in assessing cross-cultural understanding and intercultural communication skills in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, considering both formative and summative assessment methods. Employing a mixed-methods research design, quantitative and qualitative data were gathered from EFL teachers and learners in diverse cultural settings. The findings reveal a variety of assessment tasks commonly used, such as written assignments, oral presentations, group discussions, and cultural projects, to evaluate cross-cultural competence. Formative assessment methods, including self-reflection, peer feedback, and teacher-student conferences, were prevalent in assessing cross-cultural understanding. Challenges in cross-cultural assessment include developing culturally sensitive tasks and rubrics, addressing biases in assessment instruments, balancing language proficiency and cultural understanding, and ensuring fairness and inclusivity. Best practices identified include providing clear assessment criteria, incorporating authentic tasks, promoting self-reflection and peer feedback, integrating multiple assessment methods, and offering professional development for teachers. The study emphasizes the positive perceptions of both teachers and learners regarding the effectiveness of cross-cultural assessment in promoting intercultural competence. By addressing these challenges and implementing recommended practices, educators can enhance the quality of EFL education and better prepare learners for effective communication in diverse cultural settings.
