Abstract

The purpose of this research is to find out how much students at Health Polytechnic benefit from using Jigsaw techniques to better understand written English. In order to effectively communicate and understand medical principles and procedures, having a strong grasp of the English language is crucial in the healthcare industry. The study looked at how well 78 students from Poltekkes Kemenkes Surabaya learned using a Reading Proficiency test, traditional methods, and pre- and post-test experimental designs. It also used T-tests to look at the results. for a subset of the larger topic, which improves the group's ability to solve problems and make informed decisions. When students from different backgrounds have mastered a subject, they get together to share what they've learned and help each other out. The use of a group strategy not only leads to better overall comprehension, but also to the growth of interpersonal and communicative skills. The purpose of this research is to determine if teaching English using the Jigsaw method is effective for students at Health Polytechnics. The study will rely on statistical methods.

Abstract

Teaching English to healthcare students presents multifaceted challenges, particularly for non-native speakers who must concurrently navigate the complexities of medical concepts and the acquisition of language proficiency. Addressing these dual demands necessitates pedagogical innovations that integrate linguistic development with digital literacy to meet the dynamic requirements of contemporary healthcare. This quasi-experimental study explored the efficacy of digital storytelling as a transformative educational tool for enhancing English fluency and multimedia communication skills among vocational health students. Seventy-eight participants were allocated into an experimental group, which engaged in structured weekly digital storytelling activities, and a control group, which adhered to traditional grammar-based instruction. Over a 16-week intervention, data collected via the Test of English Proficiency Speaking and the Multimedia Communication Comfort Scale revealed significant outcomes, with the experimental group exhibiting substantial improvements (T-value = -23.91, p < 0.001) compared to the negligible gains of the control group (T-value = -11.12, p > 0.05). Furthermore, a robust positive correlation (r = 0.60) between initial lower proficiency and more significant improvement underscores the inclusivity and adaptability of digital storytelling for diverse learner profiles. By merging authentic language use with practical engagement in digital tools, digital storytelling equips vocational health students with critical competencies essential for effective communication in increasingly digitalized healthcare environments, demonstrating its potential as a cornerstone of 21st-century vocational education.
