Abstract

Previous studies have shown that studying abroad such as participating in a student exchange program affects the second language (L2) learning outcomes. However, it has yet to be proven whether a short-term experience, such as participation in a virtual student exchange program has a measurable impact on L2 or foreign language development. The present study examines the improvement of English learners speaking skills after participating in a six-week international virtual student exchange program on Asian culture. It is a collaboration among health education institutions in Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, and The Philippines. This study employed quantitative and qualitative methods. Ten Indonesian EFL students were involved in this study and their speaking proficiency was measured before and after participating in the virtual program. A structured interview was also conducted to yield more information on their experience in the program. Statistic findings indicated a significant difference between the students’ speaking proficiency before and after the program (Sig. = 0.004 < 0.05), which meant that their English-speaking proficiency improved over six weeks. The statistical findings are consistent with the student's report stating that they felt more confident and comfortable speaking in English upon participation in the program. These findings extend our understanding that a short-term virtual student exchange experience significantly impacts the speaking proficiency and personal development of Indonesian EFL students. The results of this study imply that efforts to support such international virtual programs should continue.

Abstract

At the vocational high school level in Indonesia, English language teaching is still general with minimal ESP additions, so it is not enough to equip students to be able to communicate using English according to their future field of work. English material in Health Vocational High Schools is less focused on the specific needs of the health sector. The lack of variety of fun learning activities makes students less interested and motivated to learn English, especially related to health terms. Therefore, innovative and comprehensive learning is needed with materials that are appropriate for the needs of students as prospective nursing assistants. One of them is by utilizing crossword puzzle games and yes/no questions. The programs that have been implemented have proven effective in increasing students' interest in learning and their understanding of vocabulary related to body parts and health problems. This shows that a fun and interactive approach can be a good solution in learning English in Health Vocational High Schools.
