Abstract

Proficiency in spoken English is commonly seen as avital aspect of language learning. Regrettably, a significant portion of ESP learners exhibit reluctance to engage in oral communication inside the language learning classroom, which can be attributed to various reasons. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the relationship among linguistic factor, psychological factor, and sociocultural factor on nursing students’ hesitancy to engage in oral communication exercises. The data were collected using a questionnaire, while the association between variables was tested using the Gamma statistical test. The participants of this study consisted of second-year nursing students in a private university in Tangerang. The sample was determined using the convenience sampling technique, which yielded a total of 195 respondents. A noteworthy correlation had been observed between the linguistic factors (p-value 0.001), psychological factor (p-value 0.001), and sociocultural factor (p-value 0,004) in connection to nursing students’ hesitancy. The correlation between factors is moderately strong, with the variables of all factors indicating a positive association with reluctance. Consequently, the higher the factors, the greater the nursing students’ willingness to speak English, and vice versa. The lecturers should hence foster a safe and accepting environment in the classroom through fostering connections between themselves and the students.

Abstract

Nursing students learn General English (GE) to prepare them to study English for Nursing as their core subject. The primary goal of GE is to prepare them to be able to talk about daily topics and grammar points including simple past tense which was taught implicitly. In fact, teaching grammar is assumed to be trivial lately as teachers shift to more into English teaching trends. Therefore, it is important to go to the root and find ways to help students with their grammar struggle. This study seeks to find the nursing students’ error in simple past tense through scrutinizing their writing and thus can evaluate the teaching grammar method. The methodology was descriptive quantitative where 50 students’ writing assignments were the data. The errors were identified in the table and were classified based on the error types based on Duly’s surface strategy taxonomy. The errors were then analysed quantitatively to find percentages of the errors. The excerpts from the students’ writing were included in the result to support the analysis. The findings indicate that mis-formation were the biggest errors with 57.59%, mis-ordering with 20.98%, addition with 12.95%, and omission with the smallest error with 8.48%. The analysis indicates that the interlingual and intralingual transfer contribute to these errors made. Thus, there needs to be a reflection on the grammar teaching done in nursing students now. Teachers should focus on helping the students with their grammar difficulties and flexibly switch the teaching implicitly and explicitly to suit the students need.

Abstract

Engaging students in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, particularly large ones, remains a persistent challenge due to rigid structures and limited opportunities for interaction. While gamification is commonly used to boost engagement, its competitive elements can trigger anxiety and hinder participation, especially among less confident learners. This study employed an explanatory sequential mixed methods design to explore the effectiveness of Padlet—a non-competitive, collaborative digital platform—in promoting student engagement. A total of 202 first-year nursing students participated in a 14-week course in which Padlet was integrated into classroom activities. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and semi-structured interviews with selected participants. Quantitative findings indicated high levels of agreement across five engagement dimensions: motivation, interactivity, learning opportunities, ease of use, and language learning support. Qualitative analysis revealed four dominant themes: Padlet's social media-like appeal, its role in facilitating safe and active collaboration, the creation of an interactive classroom atmosphere, and peer learning through shared content. Students reported increased willingness to participate, reduced anxiety, and greater comfort in expressing ideas. Padlet functioned as a low-anxiety, learner-centered space that encouraged participation, particularly among shy or low-proficiency students. While it may not directly improve language proficiency, its affective benefits foster a positive foundation for language development. Padlet offers an inclusive, psychologically safe alternative to competitive gamification, making it a valuable tool for enhancing student engagement in large EFL classrooms.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Authentic nursing terms help nurses, lecturers, and students give accurate and excellent nursing care. However, there is no existing nursing dictionary that has facilitated specific English-Indonesian nursing terms. This study was a pilot study to develop a nursing corpus to establish bank data and build an authentic nursing dictionary through nursing discourses like journals, clinical notes, scoping, systematic reviews, and commentaries The research utilized corpus linguistics as its working methodology by using purposive sampling to collect 651 articles from seven high-impact nursing journals. The open-access journal PDFs were downloaded and converted into TXT. The TXT files were imported to a concordance software package, Antconc, creating a corpus of 3.613.424 tokens. The frequency analysis resulted in 53.105 words, and cluster analysis was performed to find the word and phrase patterns. The finding revealed a 5000-word pioneer of nursing authentic terms. Later, the words will be translated, and sentence examples will be provided in English and Bahasa Indonesia. These nursing terms will be an excellent source for teaching English to nurses, for the International Nursing Program, nurses in practice, staff, and students in nursing care. Keywords: Antconc, Corpus Linguistics, Dictionary, Nursing Dictionary, Nursing                  terms

Abstract

English Medium Instruction (EMI) has been implemented globally as a strategy for the internationalization of Higher Education Institutions to promote global competence and mobility. However, the concept of English within the EMI context has been scrutinized, as studies reveal that the definition of English in EMI is often contextual. This shift has brought English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) into focus. Given the limited research in Indonesia exploring EMI through the perspectives of ELF and translingual practices, this study examines these concepts within the context of the nursing EMI program. The study draws on a rich dataset, using in-depth interviews with international nursing students to analyze the conceptualization of English, ELF, and translingual practices. Findings reveal a disparity between students preconceived notions and actual practices. Students commonly perceive English in EMI as a native variety shaped by exposure to popular culture such as movies, songs, and social media. However, ELF practices emerge as essential strategies for achieving effective communication, emphasizing adaptability and mutual understanding. Translingual practices manifest in the form of gado-gado Englisha blend of languageswhich is seen as a creative and dynamic linguistic choice but also criticized as being less proficient or standardized. This study highlights the complexities of EMI implementation and advocates for a dynamic and flexible approach to navigating multilingual classroom contexts.
