Abstract

Listening, the most commonly utilized language skill, is paramount in everyday communication and educational settings. Recognizing the significance of listening comprehension and the challenges associated with teaching it, researchers have explored innovative methods such as podcasts and audio scripting to enhance listening skills. This study examines the efficacy of employing podcasts through the audio scripting method in improving students' listening abilities. The research adopts a quasi-experimental design with an equivalent control group to investigate the impact of this method on listening learning. The experimental group received instruction through podcasts and audio scripting, while the control group followed traditional listening exercises. Pre-tests and post-tests were administered to both groups to measure listening proficiency. The findings indicate a positive correlation between the audio scripting method and enhanced listening skills, with the experimental group showing significant improvement compared to the control group. These results suggest that audio scripting is an effective pedagogical approach for enhancing listening comprehension. Consequently, incorporating audio scripting into the curriculum offers a promising avenue for bolstering students' listening proficiency, which is crucial for their academic success and professional development in healthcare. Further research is recommended to explore this method's long-term effects and potential applications across different educational contexts.

Abstract

English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is an approach to English language teaching that focuses on the specific needs of learners in professional and academic contexts. The implementation of ESP in the secondary education curriculum can provide significant advantages in preparing students for specific communication demands in the future. This article aims to explore the challenges and opportunities in the implementation of ESP in secondary education curriculum through a comprehensive literature review. The reviewed literature was selected based on the criteria of publication date, relevance, research type, and reliable source. Data were collected from various academic databases such as Scientific research, Science Direct, Wiley Online library, Google Scholar, Internet TESL Journal, Open edition journals and etc. The data analysis process involved thematic coding and synthesizing information from the selected articles. The findings show that ESP implementation faces major challenges such as a shortage of trained teachers, limited educational resources, and resistance to curriculum change. However, there are great opportunities that can be exploited, including the utilization of digital technology, international collaboration, and the integration of ESP with the national curriculum. Overcoming these challenges requires continuous teacher training programs, development of technology-based learning materials, and inclusive approaches in curriculum planning. International collaboration can also provide valuable practical experience for students and teachers. The implementation of ESP in secondary education has great potential to improve students' English competence in specific contexts. Further research is needed to develop effective teacher training programs, innovative learning materials, and adaptive curriculum implementation strategies. Keywords: English for Specific Purposes (ESP), secondary education, curriculum, challenges, opportunities, literature review.
