Abstract

Tinjauan ini meneliti peran krusial Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) dalam pendidikan Maritime English (MarE) di tengah industri maritim yang semakin terglobalisasi. Kemampuan komunikasi yang efektif serta pemahaman budaya menjadi aspek fundamental bagi keberhasilan operasional dan keselamatan di laut. Kajian ini menganalisis berbagai pendekatan dalam mengintegrasikan ICC ke dalam kurikulum MarE dengan mengacu pada kerangka teoretis seperti Tyler's Curriculum Development Theory dan Multiliteracies Framework. Selain itu, metodologi pedagogis seperti experiential learning, project-based learning, dan technology-enhanced learning dieksplorasi untuk menekankan efektivitasnya dalam meningkatkan kesadaran budaya serta kemampuan adaptasi di kalangan profesional maritim. Tinjauan ini juga mengidentifikasi kesenjangan penelitian, termasuk kurangnya fokus terhadap persepsi dosen dan mahasiswa terkait ICC serta eksplorasi yang masih terbatas mengenai tantangan multibahasa dalam pendidikan maritim. Untuk mengatasi kesenjangan ini, arah penelitian masa depan diusulkan guna meningkatkan efektivitas pelatihan ICC. Kajian ini memberikan wawasan yang berharga bagi pendidik maritim, pembuat kebijakan, serta pengembang kurikulum dalam memperkuat kompetensi antarbudaya di industri maritim, dengan menekankan pentingnya penyelarasan pendidikan MarE dengan kebutuhan industri dan standar internasional.

Abstract

It is crucial to start teaching English to children at a young age because of how important it is to learn it. In practice, English is not an easy language to teach to elementary school students. There are several main reasons why English is difficult to teach, the first is that English words and sentences are difficult to pronounce because they are written and pronounced differently. In addition, the lack of teacher skills in terms of mastering teaching techniques and methods makes students less interested in learning English. The problems faced by children in Bawasalo Village are the lack of mastery of vocabulary and correct pronunciation so that they have low English quality. The purpose of this service is to provide English language training through songs and games for children in Bawasalo Village, Maros Regency, South Sulawesi. The method of implementing this service is in the form of English song pronunciation and games that are suitable for elementary school children. The results of this activity show that children are more enthusiastic about learning English through games and songs. In fact, children can also easily master new vocabulary and good pronunciation
