Abstract

This study explores midwifery students' perceptions of Ahmad Izzan's textbook, "English for Medical Professionals," in enhancing their medical English communication skills. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, the research employed a structured questionnaire comprising both open-ended and close-ended questions to gather in-depth insights. The survey focused on aspects such as the textbook's relevance, clarity, practicality, and its perceived effectiveness in clinical communication. Results indicate that students generally regard the textbook as beneficial, particularly in improving their comprehension and application of medical English in practical settings. However, the small sample size limits the generalizability of the findings. Expanding the study with a larger participant pool is suggested to provide more comprehensive insights into the textbook’s impact. These findings aim to inform curriculum design and teaching methods that better prepare midwifery students with the communication skills essential for their professional development.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of Aaron O’Brien's educational content on social media in enhancing English vocabulary acquisition among EFL students. In the digital age, social media platforms have become valuable tools for language learning, offering students engaging and interactive ways to learn new vocabulary. The research used a quantitative survey method with a five-point Likert scale to assess students' perceptions of O’Brien's content. The survey, administered to 31 students, revealed that most participants found the content relevant and beneficial for learning vocabulary. The contextual approach used by O’Brien helped improve students' vocabulary retention. However, challenges in maintaining consistent engagement with the content were also noted, with factors like time management and distractions affecting students' motivation. Despite these challenges, the findings suggest that social media content, when integrated with formal educational settings, can enhance students' language learning experience. The study recommends exploring motivational strategies such as gamification or incentives to encourage regular interaction with educational content. Overall, the results indicate that educational content on social media, like that provided by O’Brien, has significant potential to support traditional language learning methods and improve vocabulary acquisition.
