Abstract

Achieving international recognition has motivated the universities in Indonesia to shift to international programs. An unmistakable and notable initiative is the adoption of English as the Medium of Instruction (EMI), which has elicited both positive and negative responses. This study investigates the obstacles and educational approaches of nursing students when utilising EMI. The study aims to examine students' perceived problems related to language and learning in an EMI context, as well as the techniques they use. The participants of this study are 176 Indonesian students majoring in Nursing. The participants were asked to fill in the survey questionnaires on the challenges they face and the strategies they use in EMI learning. The collected data were analysed using SPSS quantitatively. The major findings are that most students encountered a moderate level of language and learning challenges and sought L2 support strategies in coping with their language and learning challenges. There is less pressure on the students’ side as no native-speaker teacher is involved in establishing the EMI program. This study concludes that the students are ready for the EMI program. The study further suggests the potential of supporting the students through the concurrent support model by Macaro’s language support model.

Abstract

Low Back Pain (LBP) is a collection of several clinical symptoms that are marked by pain or discomfort in the lower back, which may or may not extend to the legs. Incorrect ergonomics is the primary factor contributing to lower back pain (LBP) among nurses. The objective of this study was to establish a correlation between the extent of ergonomics knowledge and the occurrence of lower back pain (LBP) complaints among nurses who work with hospitalised patients. This study employed a correlational quantitative design, utilising a cross-sectional technique. The sample size for this study consisted of 158 nurses working in the inpatient unit of a private hospital in Indonesia. The sampling technique employed was a total sampling, resulting in a sample size of 158 nurses. The research employed questionnaires that were both valid and trustworthy. The questionnaires assessing knowledge of ergonomics were devised by Bunga et al. (2019), whilst the questionnaire pertaining to low back pain was formulated by Deria (2021). The findings of the Pearson chi-square statistical test indicated a p-value of 0.105, suggesting that there was no statistically significant association between the level of knowledge of ergonomics postures and complaints of low back pain among inpatient nurses. Inpatient nurses have the ability to discover and implement ergonomic postures in their regular tasks. Further research could be undertaken on the elements that can induce low back discomfort.

Abstract

Continuing education is one of the initiatives done to strengthen an institution's human resources. In Indonesia, there are various scholarship programs offered to people to continue their education. However, because many individuals have not been socialized, they are unaware of the scholarships that are accessible. To address this issue, the PkM team of Universitas Pelita Harapan, Universitas Timor, and the Flores Timor Teachers' Association collaborated to organize a socialization of scholarship for further education to the general public, especially in Eastern Indonesia. This event is conducted in the form of an online webinar and is filled out by three speakers from each institution, all of whom have won scholarships. The webinar began with a presentation session in which the presenters discussed their experiences and suggestions, followed by a question and answer session for each speaker, and a closing. According to the assessment results, several participants were excited about pursuing their study overseas. This is evident in the numerous thoughts and queries given by participants about continued study abroad scholarships. Overall, the webinar went well, with participants expressing their satisfaction with the information and experiences offered by the presenters. The assessment form also stated that participants desired an advanced scholarship socialization webinar so that they could learn more about the many sorts of further study scholarships they may apply for.

Abstract

Academic stress is a common phenomenon in academic environments, particularly among first-year students. Several students have reported that academic stress can influence their learning motivation, as evidenced by findings from this study. This research aims to examine the relationship between academic stress and academic motivation among first-year nursing students at a private university in Indonesia. A non-experimental quantitative research method with a cross-sectional approach was employed. The study population consisted of 419 first-year nursing students, with a sample size of 205 students selected through simple random sampling. The research instruments included the Educational Stress Scale for Adolescents (ESSA) by Sun et al. (2011) and the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) by Vallerand et al. (1992). The ESSA instrument demonstrated high validity and reliability, with a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.932. The AMS questionnaire, validated and adapted into Indonesian by Natalya (2018), assessed intrinsic and extrinsic motivation as well as amotivation, showing robust psychometric properties (RMSEA ≤ 0.08; GFI ≥ 0.9; CR ≥ 0.7; α ≥ 0.7). Data analysis utilized Pearson correlation tests, revealing a significant relationship between academic stress and academic motivation (p = 0.001, p < 0.05). The findings indicate that increased academic stress can enhance academic motivation, highlighting the concept of positive stress (eustress). Future studies are encouraged to design interventions aimed at helping students balance academic stress and motivation using experimental methods.

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 is not commonly utilized for daily communication in Indonesia due to its status as a foreign language. Consequently, it is common for a significant number of Indonesian students to lack sufficient proficiency in spoken English. The same applies to pupils at SMAK Kasih Anugerah, Bojong Nangka, Tangerang. Furthermore, a significant number of pupils experience apprehension when required to communicate in English. In response to this issue, the English team at UPH Faculty of Nursing has made the decision to conduct an intensive one-month English speaking training program for students at SMAK Kasih Anugerah. The methodology employed is Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), more especially utilizing the storytelling technique. The selection of this method was based on its numerous advantages in fostering the enhancement of students' English speaking abilities and its capacity to cultivate an enjoyable and engaging learning environment. The first three weeks focused on the study and practice of storytelling materials and strategies. During the previous week, a storytelling competition took place, providing students with an opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge they had acquired. The evaluation results indicated that the majority of students had confidence in their ability to narrate stories in English, as well as exhibited proficient and accurate pronunciation of vocabulary. All students on the evaluation sheet expressed contentment with the training and voiced a desire for a subsequent session. Additionally, they asserted that their proficiency in vocabulary significantly enhanced as a result of reading numerous story texts provided by the facilitators.

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.

Abstract

It is imperative to reassess the requirements of pupils in order to accurately understand their present circumstances, as the Covid-19 pandemic has significantly altered methods of teaching and learning. Given this circumstance, the researchers carried out a survey to determine the precise English language prerequisites of D3 nurses who are pursuing their bachelor's degree, in order to assess the level of importance for students and aid in the development of a suitable curriculum. The study utilized the technique developed by Hutchinson and Waters (1987) to investigate the specific English language requirements and sub-skills that nursing students need in order to effectively pursue their field of study in post COVID-19 era. In addition, the study examined the students' viewpoints on the pertinence of the courses offered to them. Data was gathered by employing questionnaires and conducting interviews. The study's findings suggest that the respondents' view of the full online English language courses they took had a significant impact on their professional growth as nurses. In addition, the participants demonstrated a significant degree of skill in Listening (Grand Mean = 4.1) and Reading (Grand Mean = 4.07) compared to Writing (Grand Mean = 3.97) and Speaking (Grand Mean = 3.92). The research findings suggest that the respondents consider English courses to be relevant. However, there is a need for improvement in the areas of Writing and Speaking.

Abstract

English-medium instruction (EMI) continues to expand globally, yet multilingual classrooms remain linguistically complex, as students and lecturers navigate layered communicative challenges. While EMI research has advanced in general education settings, empirical studies grounded in healthcare-specific, discipline-oriented classrooms, particularly in non-English-dominant regions, remain limited. Addressing this gap, this study examines how multimodal resources including gestures, vocalizations, gaze, body movement, and first-language (L1) use are mobilized in EMI nursing classrooms at a university in Indonesia. Drawing on Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and ten hours of recorded classroom discourse, the study reveals how meaning is collaboratively constructed through multimodal ensembles that also shape power relations and pedagogical agency. A unique contribution of this research is the culturally embedded concept of Gado-Gado English, a metaphor for the dynamic blend of linguistic and semiotic resources used by teachers and students to cope with EMI challenges. Findings show that multimodal strategies foster inclusive participation, emotional engagement, and active knowledge construction in clinical learning contexts. By capturing naturalistic interaction in an underexplored EMI healthcare setting, this study offers both theoretical and practical insights into discipline-specific EMI pedagogy. Implications are drawn for EMI policy, curriculum design, and professional development, especially regarding the integration of multimodal resources as legitimate and empowering pedagogical tools.
