Abstract

This study uses a quantitative descriptive method with a sequential sampling technique to examine the application of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) among nurses in addressing global health challenges in the 21st century. The sample consisted of 12 nurses working in various settings, such as hospitals, clinics, and health centres, in Sulawesi and Kalimantan islands. Through a questionnaire comprising 10 closed-ended questions and 3 open-ended questions, the study evaluated the use of ESP in the workplace and the English language skills of the participants. The results, presented in a percentage table, indicate that the adoption of ESP in the workplace remains low, despite nurses having a strong understanding of advanced medical technology. However, there is a positive attitude toward international engagement, including participation in international seminars, preparation of professional correspondence in English, and volunteer activities in English-speaking countries. These findings underscore the need for targeted institutional training and support programs to enhance nurses' English language competencies and global skills, enabling them to contribute effectively to international health services. The study has limitations, including a small sample size that restricts the generalizability of the findings across Indonesia. Nevertheless, the inclusion of participants from diverse workplaces offers valuable insights into the use of English in central and eastern Indonesia. Future research should explore larger and more diverse samples and investigate the long-term impact of ESP training on professional development and global readiness among nurses.

Abstract

In this quantitative survey, the researchers aimed to investigate students' attitudes, perceptions, and experiences concerning the Grammar Translation Method (GTM) in English language instruction. The study involved fifteen students in class X of SMKN 1 Dampal Selatan. A questionnaire was used as an experimental tool to assess grammar learning. Data collection and analysis utilized a snowball technique. The questionnaire responses indicated that students generally had a positive attitude towards learning English and were familiar with GTM. They believed that learning grammar through translation waseasier, often used dictionaries, and appreciated teacher assistance with challenging words. However, they found grammar learning more challenging than expected and considered consistent learning necessary. Grouping words by category was seen as helpful, and mastering tenses was considered important for forming sentences. While students were open to structured sentence formation based on tenses, they expressed a preference for group work over individual activities.

Abstract

This study aims to measure students’ interest in using ChatGPT to teach English using the debate clinic method to improve students’ speaking skills. Descriptive quantitative research involving 14 students of the Islamic Religious Education Study Program, STAI DDI Pinrang, used a questionnaire to measure four indicators of learning interest: feelings of pleasure, interest, paying attention, and involvement. The results revealed that the student’s average score of learning interest reached 77, indicating a relatively high interest. Students’ participation in formulating and refuting arguments during debates proves that ChatGPT positively impacts the development of students’ critical thinking skills. Therefore, this study contributes to developing technology-based pedagogy, especially in academic debate. Integrating ChatGPT in the debate process allows teachers to create a more dynamic and interactive learning environment where students can be more actively involved. However, the study has several limitations. First, the limited number of samples, so generalizing the study results may not apply to a broader population. Additionally, it only focused on one study program at one institution, so the results may not reflect the situation at other institutions. Therefore, further research can explore other factors that influence learning interest, such as pedagogical aspects and technology used in the learning process.
