Abstract

This article presents analysis and discussion of research data focusing on the students’  attitudes and perceptions of EMI program implementation strategies in the secondary schools level in South Sulawesi Province. Three Public International Standard Schools that run EMI and non-EMI Programs were selected as sample of the study. The data has been drawn from student questionnaire responses and student group interviews. Seventy seven (77) EMI students and 84 non-EMI students completed the questionnaire. Eight students from each school were selected as focus group interview participants. The data from questionnaire was analysed using SPSS Program, and the data from focus group interview was analysed using NVivo software. The study found that the Chi-square test result suggests that in these three schools, EMI and non-EMI programs have significant differences in their preferences (p=0.000).  EMI students preferred the EMI program and non-EMI students preferred non-EMI programs. Futhermore, the students said they experienced difficulties studied in the program. Despite the fact that students experienced difficulties in coping with the new learning situation in the EMI program, the majority felt satisfied with the program because they realised there were some benefits. The students interview responses also highlighted three factors detracting from EMI program implementation: lack of teachers’ language support; lack of English environment in the school; and bilingual learning materials. Detailed findings will be presented and their implications discussed.

Abstract

This research explores the phenomenon of culture shock experienced by the Minangkabau community in Makassar, focusing on its stages and effects. The research employs a qualitative ethnographic design, gathering data through interviews, observations, and documentation to understand the cultural adaptation process. Guided by Kalervo Oberg's U-Curve theory of adjustment, the findings reveal that Minangkabau migrants undergo four distinct stages of culture shock: honeymoon, frustration, adjustment, and adaptation/acceptance. In the honeymoon phase, migrants experience excitement and fascination as they engage with Makassarese culture. However, this enthusiasm fades in the frustration phase, where language barriers, communication differences, and unfamiliar social norms create stress and isolation. The adjustment phase marks a turning point, as migrants develop coping strategies, learn local customs, and build social networks. Finally, the adaptation and acceptance phase sees them achieving a balance between preserving their cultural identity and integrating into the host society. The research concludes that while culture shock presents initial challenges, it ultimately fosters personal growth, resilience, and cultural competence. The findings underscore the importance of social support, cultural awareness, and adaptability in facilitating successful cultural transitions. This research highlights how culture shock, despite its difficulties, can lead to positive outcomes, enriching both the migrants' lives and the multicultural landscape of Makassar.
