Abstract

This study explores the impact of targeted teaching interventions on the development of emotional intelligence (EI) and self-efficacy among university students. Recognizing the critical role these psychological constructs play in academic success and personal well-being, the research implements a series of instructional strategies designed to foster emotional awareness, regulation, and confidence in academic and social contexts. Examines the efficacy of targeted interventions in enhancing Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Self-Efficacy (SE) by comparing pre-test and post-test scores across control and intervention groups, the study employ descriptive statistics revealed significant improvements in both constructs, with the intervention group demonstrating higher post-test means (EI: 80.32; SE: 77.38) compared to the control group (EI: 74.47; SE: 68.13). Normality and homogeneity tests confirmed the data’s suitability for parametric analyses, while independent samples t-tests indicated statistically significant differences between groups (p = 0.005 for both EI and SE). These findings align with foundational theories while highlighting the amplified effects of modern intervention strategies, such as digital tools and personalized training. Notably, SE exhibited greater malleability (mean difference = 9.25) than EI (mean difference = 5.85), challenging earlier assertions about EI’s rigidity. The study concludes that the value of structured interventions in fostering psychological competencies, but calls for longitudinal research to assess sustainability and investigations into moderating factors. Practical applications include integrating hybrid (digital-traditional) approaches in educational and organizational settings to maximize scalability and impact.

Abstract

This study identifies English for Specific Purposes (ESP) needs related to workplace communication among health and tourism practitioners in Makassar, Indonesia. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was used to combine a quantitative needs survey with qualitative stakeholder interviews. The quantitative phase involved 100 purposively selected practitioners in international-facing health and tourism roles. A 25-item Likert-type questionnaire examined professional tasks, linguistic skills, and perceived competence. The qualitative phase involved semi-structured interviews with 10 stakeholders, five from each sector, to explain the communication difficulties underlying the survey priorities. Quantitative data were summarized using frequencies and percentages, while interview data were analyzed thematically and integrated with the survey results. Four priority task domains were identified: clinical and technical interaction (28%), front-line logistics (27%), operational safety (24%), and affective communication (21%). Clinical anamnesis, procedure explanation, safety briefings, directions, complaint handling, and culturally appropriate interpersonal communication emerged as central workplace demands. Interview accounts further indicated difficulties with rapid spoken English, unfamiliar accents and idioms, technical vocabulary, and pragmatic strategies such as hedging and softening language. The combined clinical and safety categories represented 52% of identified needs, highlighting the importance of accurate oral communication in high-stakes encounters. The findings support locally responsive, task-based ESP training built around authentic simulations, listening practice, professional phraseology, and pragmatic communication. Because the study used purposive sampling and descriptive analysis in one city, the findings should be interpreted as context-specific priorities rather than population estimates.
