Abstract

Cross-cultural pragmatic differences often constitute a major challenge in the development of communication competencies of multinational teams, hindering global organizational collaboration and productivity. This research aims to identify theoretical frameworks and key models that are relevant in explaining cross-cultural pragmatics and its impact on communication competence. Using a systematic literature review (SLR) approach with the PRISMA protocol, this research analyzed 38 academic articles from various geographic and cultural contexts. The results show that the theory of Cross-Cultural Pragmatics, the Intercultural Communication Competency Model, and High-Context and Low-Context Communication provide significant contributions in understanding and optimizing cross-cultural communication. This research recommends theory-based training to increase communication effectiveness in multinational organizations.

Abstract

In the context of nursing education in Indonesia, English communication skills are crucial for improving the quality of interactions between students and patients, especially in multicultural clinical settings. However, many nursing students face challenges in effectively communicating in English, which may impact the quality of healthcare services. This study aims to analyze the influence of simulation-based English communication training on the confidence and communication competence of nursing students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Pringsewu. The sample consisted of students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires adapted from self-confidence and communication competence scales and analyzed using simple linear regression. The results of the analysis indicate that simulation-based training significantly enhances students’ confidence and communication competence, showing a positive impact on their ability to interact in clinical environments. These findings underscore the importance of integrating simulation-based communication training into the nursing education curriculum to improve students' communication skills, thereby contributing to the overall quality of healthcare services in Indonesia.

Abstract

Early vocabulary acquisition is an important foundation for children's future literacy development and academic achievement. Simultaneously, introducing healthy lifestyle practices, such as handwashing, plays a crucial role in shaping preventive behaviors from an early age. This study examines the effectiveness of teaching health-themed English vocabulary through handwashing activities to early childhood children at Radhatul Makmur Kindergarten in Pringsewu, Indonesia. Using a narrative review approach and thematic synthesis methods, the study analyzed recent literature from leading academic databases, including Scopus, ERIC, and ScienceDirect. The results indicate that physical activity-based approaches, specifically Total Physical Response (TPR) and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), significantly strengthen vocabulary acquisition and retention and foster children's multisensory engagement. The integration of daily hygiene activities into language learning not only supports linguistic development but also contributes to character building and health awareness in children. These findings highlight the importance of contextual, experiential, interdisciplinary teaching strategies in early childhood education. The study recommends the development of a bilingual thematic curriculum that utilizes daily routines as a natural and meaningful means of language acquisition.

Abstract

The integration of gaming into English language learning is gaining increasing attention as an innovative method for improving language skills. This research explores how the use of games, especially MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games), can facilitate English language acquisition through the interactions required in game contexts. The game allows players to communicate in English in real-time, improving their language skills through practical application in high-pressure situations. Studies show that gamers often have better language skills compared to non-gamers, especially in vocabulary and writing skills. Additionally, the motivation triggered by the fun and interactive aspects of games can reduce affective barriers, such as anxiety, that are often encountered in traditional language learning. Through analyzing language features in gaming communities, learning materials can be designed to suit students' experiences and interests, making them more relevant and engaging. This research highlights the potential of games as an effective language learning tool, offering a new context for language acquisition that may not be achieved with conventional methods.

Abstract

English language skills are an urgent need for students in the era of globalization to support academic and career success. However, the limited English language skills of new students at UIN Raden Intan Bandar Lampung are a challenge that requires a strategic solution. The English matriculation program implemented at the UPT Language Development Center aims to improve students' English language competence through an active learning approach. This activity involves a pre-test, practice-based learning, and a post-test to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in students' English language skills, with an average increase in post-test scores of 20–30 points. These findings emphasize the importance of the matriculation program as a systematic effort to support students' academic and professional preparation and recommend the development of similar programs to be implemented in other universities.

Abstract

Communication effectiveness in the Emergency Room (ER) has a direct correlation with patient safety, particularly when dealing with international patients. However, medical staff at RS Mitra Husada Pringsewu still face English language barriers that trigger low self-confidence and the risk of misdiagnosis. This community engagement activity aims to enhance the communicative and procedural competence of ER staff through measured role-play simulation training. By adopting the Participatory Action Learning (PAL) framework and David Kolb’s Experiential Learning theory, 25 ER staff members were involved in realistic clinical scenario simulations, ranging from the triage stage to emergency procedures. Evaluation results indicate a significant increase in the staff's average English competency score, rising from 54.5 in the pre-test to 82.3 in the post-test. The most substantial improvements were recorded in medical vocabulary mastery and speaking fluency in emergency situations. Beyond linguistic aspects, this training successfully reduced foreign language anxiety and improved the staff's ability to apply politeness strategies and empathy toward patients. Based on these results, it is recommended that the hospital develop bilingual SOPs and establish independent study groups to ensure the sustainability of staff competence in providing international-standard healthcare services.

Abstract

Understanding the perception of students' English education through the support of parents and the home environment when responding to class closures, the government's policy to save students but opening classes remotely is a critical and exciting study to carry out. For this reason, we have interviewed ten student resource persons to gain their experience and understanding of learning English and support from home. The results of these interviews and also supported by a review of several related literature, we can finally conclude that learning English which produces a reasonably good reference through a support approach from home during the pandemic response, has resulted in, among other things, the role and activity of parents supporting students during significant learning. In terms of motivational learning facilities, mental and physical support, and other support, which is the direct expression of students during distance learning. The publication and analysis of student interview data were carried out using a phenomenological approach involving data coding techniques and analysis according to in-depth evaluation and interpretation to obtain relevant and valid data to answer problems. The findings of this data will be helpful in the development of English language studies supported by parents and the home environment for similar studies in the future.
