Abstract

English proficiency is increasingly important for medical personnel working in multilingual healthcare environments. This study examines the English language needs and challenges faced by medical staff in Batam, Indonesia, using a Target Situation Analysis (TSA) framework. A qualitative case study design was employed, with data collected through semi-structured interviews with ten medical staff members, including nurses and midwives, who had at least five years of hospital experience and prior experience communicating with foreign patients in English. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that English is primarily needed for communicating with foreign patients and for professional interactions. Speaking and listening were identified as the most essential skills, with pronunciation clarity playing a significant role in patient safety. However, participants reported several challenges, including limited medical vocabulary, grammar difficulties, listening comprehension problems, pronunciation issues, and low confidence when speaking English. The study concludes that a gap exists between workplace communication demands and medical staff's English proficiency. Therefore, TSA-based English for Medical Purposes (EMP) training is recommended to address practical communication needs in healthcare settings.

Abstract

Despite the widespread implementation of the Direct Method in EFL classrooms, empirical evidence examining students’ perceptions of its role in developing speaking skills remains limited, particularly in small-scale instructional contexts. This study aims to explore EFL students’ perceptions of the Direct Method in enhancing their speaking ability. This study employed a qualitative descriptive research design to explore students’ perceptions of the use of the Direct Method in developing speaking skills. Semi-structured interviews and classroom observations were used as data collection instruments to allow methodological triangulation and enhance the credibility of the findings. This study involved 26 students from  grade VII and 1 English teacher. Researchers have been conducted the observation three times and the interview on the following week. The findings indicate that the Direct Method contributed to increased learner confidence, improved vocabulary recall, and greater classroom engagement; however, students also reported challenges related to pronunciation accuracy and spontaneous sentence production.

Abstract

Student Service Activities (PKM) were carried out to provide an alternative learning space for elementary school-aged children in the Tiban Palem Housing Complex, Batam City, by utilizing the Bougenville 3 Health Post as an interactive learning center. The program was designed to address the limited access to non-formal learning facilities while providing an enjoyable and meaningful experience in learning basic English. The implementation method employed a thematic, communicative, participatory, and multimodal approach, integrating songs, educational games, visual media, and creative tasks. The program participants were 37 children aged 6–14 years, divided into two groups based on grade level. The results of the activities showed that the majority of participants (70–85%) were able to master the target vocabulary and construct simple sentences in accordance with the learning objectives. Observations also revealed increased motivation, active engagement, and self-confidence among the children in their oral use of English. Additionally, parental responses were highly positive, as evidenced by high ratings of learning quality (76.2%) and material suitability (81%), and by children's enthusiasm exceeding 95%. Overall, this program has succeeded in strengthening the role of posyandu as a community-based educational space, improving basic language skills, and building close collaboration between universities and the community. For sustainability, it is recommended that volunteer training and the development of similar programs in other areas be implemented.

Abstract

While digital media have made English exposure outside the classroom increasingly accessible, little is known about how undergraduate learners engage with it or perceive its contribution to their language development. Previous studies have tended to examine either the frequency and duration of extramural English activities or their relationship to language outcomes, but rarely both alongside learners' own perceptions, limiting a more contextualized understanding of informal engagement. This quantitative descriptive study addressed this gap by examining the types, frequency, duration, and perceived benefits of extramural English activities among 190 undergraduate students enrolled in a general English course at a private Indonesian university. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed descriptively. Results showed that exposure was predominantly entertainment-oriented and digitally mediated, with listening to English songs (M = 4.31) and watching short social media videos (M = 4.20) reported as the most frequent activities, while music (M = 2.37) and online gaming (M = 2.06) accounted for the longest engagement durations. Despite this largely receptive, entertainment-driven pattern, students perceived these activities as beneficial, particularly for improving listening skills (M = 4.13) and reading skills (M = 4.09). These findings suggest that informal English exposure among undergraduates is substantial yet unevenly distributed, concentrated in accessible entertainment activities, while still perceived as valuable for language learning. This points to a need for educators to better integrate students' existing out-of-class practices into formal instruction through authentic, multimodal, and interaction-oriented learning opportunities that connect informal exposure with purposeful language learning.

Abstract

Kurikulum Merdeka pushes Indonesian secondary schools toward Student-Centered Learning (SCL), but classroom-level enactment does not always follow the policy script. This study examines that gap through a two-stage qualitative design: an exploratory observation-checklist mapping across eleven secondary schools in Batam, followed by an intensive case study of one classroom selected because it showed the sharpest contrast between strong lesson-plan compliance and weak student participation. Over a six-week period, data were generated through non-participant classroom observations, field notes, and semi-structured interviews with one EFL teacher and six students grouped into high-, moderate-, and low-motivation tiers, then analyzed using Bogdan and Biklen's code-families framework. The findings show that the teacher's lesson plan was rated highly compliant with SCL and Kurikulum Merdeka expectations, yet open-ended classroom tasks routinely broke down into extended silence. Foreign language anxiety_tied to limited vocabulary, fear of peer judgment, and unfamiliarity with unscripted speaking, pushed students toward strategic silence, which the teacher managed by reverting to first-language (L1) mediation and more teacher-led questioning. These patterns should be read as evidence from one critical case rather than a general trend across Indonesian classrooms: they show that a lesson plan's alignment with SCL principles does not by itself guarantee student participation. Supporting learners through this gap is likely to depend on gradual vocabulary preparation, affective safety, and structured scaffolding, rather than treating teacher-led support as a pedagogical failure.
