Abstract

English proficiency is an essential skill for public health students to meet global demands, particularly in health promotion, which requires cross-cultural communication and understanding of international literature. English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is considered a relevant learning method because it aligns instructional materials with students’ academic and professional needs. Through this approach, students can improve their English competence specific to the health field, thereby enhancing job readiness and health promotion competence. This study employed a quantitative survey approach to analyze the effect of ESP on public health students’ job readiness and knowledge in health promotion. The sample consisted of 50 students selected using a purposive sampling technique who had previously taken ESP courses. The independent variable was the ESP method, measured through indicators such as material relevance, technical health vocabulary, reading skills, report writing, and presentation abilities. The dependent variable was job readiness, indicated by communication ability, mastery of health promotion, and access to international literature. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression and Pearson correlation with SPSS version 28. The results showed a Pearson correlation coefficient of r = 0.732 with a p-value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a strong and significant positive relationship between ESP and students’ job readiness. The regression equation Y = 1.12 + 0.76X with an R² value of 0.536 indicates that the ESP method contributes 53.6% to improving job readiness and health promotion knowledge, while 46.4% is influenced by other factors. Thus, better ESP implementation significantly enhances students’ preparedness for careers in public health.

Abstract

Stunting remains a significant public health challenge in Deli Serdang Regency, often exacerbated by low health literacy and linguistic barriers in understanding global nutritional information. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) program in improving nutritional understanding among families with stunted children in Percut Sei Tuan District. The ESP program was specifically designed to equip parents with the ability to understand functional nutritional terminology, food labels, and basic health instructions. This study employed a Pre-Experimental (One-Group Pretest-Posttest) design conducted with 22 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The intervention was carried out over five days, from January 19 to 23, 2026. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using the paired sample t-test. The results indicated a statistically significant increase in the respondents nutritional understanding. The mean score rose from 54.1 at pre-test to 83.0 at post-test (p < 0.05). These findings prove that mastering technical nutritional terms through an ESP approach enhances parents self-efficacy in interpreting nutritional information and selecting healthy food. In conclusion, integrating functional language literacy into health interventions is an effective and innovative strategy to accelerate the reduction of stunting rates at the household level.

Abstract

Public understanding of safe childbirth through the implementation of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) utilizing international-standard English educational videos in Kutalimbaru District, Deli Serdang Regency is motivated by the persistence of community perceptions and childbirth practices that do not yet fully align with health standards. The implementation methods included a preparation phase, identification of community needs, material delivery, educational video screenings, interactive discussions, mentoring, and evaluations via pre-tests and post-tests. The ESP approach was employed to introduce basic English terminology relevant to maternal health and childbirth contexts. The results of the activity indicate that the program was well-executed and received positive responses from the community. Participant attendance reached 85%, active participation was 78%, and the average score of participants increased from 56% in the pre-test to 84% in the post-test. Furthermore, 76% of participants were able to identify basic procedures for safe childbirth, and 82% stated that the educational videos improved their understanding of the material. This activity proves that the implementation of ESP through educational videos is effective in enhancing public health literacy regarding safe childbirth.

Abstract

The ability to speak English is an important skill that needs to be developed from primary school onwards as preparation for global communication in the future. However, in reality, primary school students still face various obstacles in using English orally, such as limited vocabulary, inaccurate pronunciation, and low confidence in speaking. This community service activity aims to encourage students to be more active and confident in speaking English through the implementation of a Daily English Programme in primary schools. The method of implementation includes several stages, namely socialising the programme to the school, training and mentoring teachers in implementing English language habits, implementing the use of English in daily activities at school, and evaluating the activity through pre-tests and post-tests. The subjects of this community service activity were 28 primary school students. The results of the activity showed a significant improvement in the students' English speaking skills, as indicated by an increase in the average score from 47.6 on the pre-test to 73.5 on the post-test. In addition to the improvement in test results, the students also showed positive developments in terms of their courage to speak, active participation in activities, and confidence in using English. Thus, the Daily English Programme is considered effective as an effort to create a communicative learning environment and support the continuous improvement of elementary school students' English speaking skills.
