Abstract

This study aims to improve proficiency in four English language skills—reading, listening, writing, and speaking—by utilizing the English Whisper game method in English learning. It employs a descriptive qualitative approach, emphasizing observation and the evaluation of student performance throughout the learning process. Data were gathered through direct observation of students' ability to comprehend and communicate information using this game-based method. The research findings indicate that the English Whisper method is effective in improving students' abilities in all four English language skills. In the reading aspect, students demonstrated better comprehension and translation of given sentences. In listening, there was an improvement in understanding orally delivered messages. In writing, students were able to reproduce the sentences they heard more accurately. Meanwhile, in speaking, students became more confident in expressing sentences orally. Besides enhancing language skills, the English Whisper method also creates a more enjoyable, interactive learning environment and motivates students to participate actively in the learning process. Thus, this method can serve as an innovative and engaging learning alternative to improve English language proficiency in the classroom.

Abstract

English medical vocabulary is essential for supporting midwifery students’ academic learning and future professional communication in healthcare settings. However, many students still face difficulties understanding medical terminology because of its specialized nature and limited exposure in language learning contexts. This study aimed to analyze midwifery students’ mastery and difficulties in understanding English medical vocabulary at STIKES Amanah Makassar. A descriptive qualitative design was employed involving ten second-semester Midwifery students enrolled in the English for Midwifery course. Data were collected through a vocabulary task and semi-structured interviews, then analyzed using an interactive qualitative data analysis model. The findings showed varying levels of vocabulary mastery. Five participants demonstrated good mastery, while the others showed average or limited understanding. Students generally understood common medical vocabulary but had difficulty comprehending specialized terms. The main challenges included unfamiliar terminology, pronunciation problems, difficulty remembering vocabulary, and limited exposure to English medical terms. The study concludes that vocabulary mastery is influenced by students’ familiarity with medical terminology and opportunities for contextualized learning. Therefore, integrating discipline-specific vocabulary instruction and pronunciation practice into English for Midwifery courses is necessary to improve students’ understanding and communication competence.
