Abstract

Digital communicative competency has evolved into a must for EFL students in the twenty-first century if they are to connect boldly and appropriately in English via email, video conferences, and messaging apps. This study aims to examine how the Talking Stick learning paradigm affects EFL students' digital communicative competence, or their capacity to communicate confidently, appropriately, and effectively in English across digital platforms. This study used a quantitative research design, using a survey approach. The findings show that all four dimensions had statistically significant improvements, with the highest gain in Confidence in Digital Communication, and displayed a statistically significant increase. Confidence in Digital Communication (M difference = 0.91) had the highest significant mean improvement; closely followed was Clarity in Online Expression (M difference = 0.89). The observed variations were statistically significant since all p-values were less than 0.05. These results suggest that in EFL environments, the Talking Stick model efficiently supports several aspects of digital communication. This study concludes that the Talking Stick learning model effectively enhances EFL students' digital communicative competence, improving key areas such as confidence, clarity, appropriateness, and engagement in online communication.

Abstract

Digital Game-based learning has been investigated to find the effective teaching strategy and media. However, little empirical evidence addresses how Bamboozle, a web-based game app, promotes language learners' behavioral, affective, social, and cognitive engagement. This study utilized an exploratory case study; seventy-eight EFL students participated in a gamified online course using Bamboozle. They were selected by cluster random sampling technique. This study revealed that the participants were engaged and actively involved in the teaching and learning process. In addition, it is found that students' engagement increased and they were motivated to learn interactive speaking. As the results showed that the students enjoyed the learning process, they were motivated. The students were involved in active participation and discussions. In addition, they were active in collaborative projects. According to the findings, the majority of students have a good opinion of the concept of Bamboozle as a game-based application. The participants were posted in three categories, namely: the highly engaged, the moderately engaged, and the lowly engaged. The higher they engage the better performance that they have in learning English, especially Interactive speaking. The findings suggest the utilization of digital game-based in EFL classrooms should focus more on critical thinking and problem-solving techniques. The implication extends to the broader context of EFL education in a higher learning context, highlighting the integration of Bamboozle as a game-based application to enhance the student’s motivation, and engagement and help to more easily understand the lesson.

Abstract

This study, titled "Cross-Cultural Pragmatics: An Investigation into Speech Act Realization on the Ship," aims to explore the influence of cultural backgrounds on the realization of speech acts among crew members in the Indonesian maritime industry. Specifically, it identifies the patterns and challenges associated with cross-cultural pragmatics on ships. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative design, the research was conducted on KM Lambelu, employing field notes, interviews, and observations as data collection instruments. The findings reveal that cultural backgrounds significantly influence how speech acts are realized by crew members, particularly regarding politeness, directness, and respect for hierarchy. The study highlights that while cultural diversity enriches interactions among crew members, it can also create communication barriers if not properly managed. The research further emphasizes that politeness strategies are deeply rooted in cultural norms, with a strong emphasis on seniority in hierarchical maritime settings.

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the assessment of students’ productive skills (speaking and writing skills) through the Training Record Book (TRB) test in support of the implementation of Standard Marine Communication Phrases (SMCP). This research applied descriptive qualitative research. It was calculated first based on the aspects score of cadets’ speaking and writing skills, then described them in words qualitatively. The assessment Rubric by Brown (2004) and the semi-structured interview were applied in gathering the data which was conducted by cadets from Politeknik Ilmu Pelayaran Makassar. The speaking aspects overwhelmed grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and fluency. Meanwhile, the writing aspects involved organization, content, coherence, diction, grammar, and mechanics. The score range of each aspect was 1 to 4 with the score 1 being the lowest and the score 4 being the highest with their description. Then, a semi-structured interview was used in the research to obtain more data. In applying this type, the researchers provided a recorder, notes, and definitely some questions to ask, but remained flexibility so that other information could arise. Semi-structured interviews guided the researchers to investigate the cadets’ view of what was typically lacking and strong aspects of cadets' speaking and writing performance through the TRB test. The result of the research revealed that grammar is the lacking aspect for the cadets in both speaking and writing, while vocabulary and pronunciation were relatively stronger in speaking skills and the organization aspect was much stronger in writing skills. The research identified some reasons for this weaknesses including maladaptive language habits among seafarers, resistance to grammar learning, lack of motivation, student reluctance, and non-compliant speakers in speaking skills and students’ reluctance and Grammar resistance in the writing skills. This research revealed the crucial of concerning these weaknesses to improve the cadets’ ability to be able to communicate effectively so that it can lead to safety and operational efficiency.

Abstract

This study identifies and analyzes the use of language registers in maritime communication on board ships. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, primary data were obtained through observation and interviews with the ship crew. Results indicate three commonly used language registers: formal (for daily interactions among crew to foster relaxed relationships), and technical (for operational and technical matters like engine maintenance and navigation). Appropriate use of these registers enhances effective messaging, improving ship safety and operational efficiency. This research contributes to developing more effective and safe maritime communication standards. Benefits include increased safety and efficiency, improved crew communication quality, and contributions to maritime standards.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of tablet-assisted autonomous learning in improving Maritime English proficiency for on-board communication among young cadets at PIP Makassar in the 5.0 Era. It aims to measure young cadets’ levels of autonomous learning, identify barriers, and explore applied strategies. A mixed-method design was employed, combining quantitative data from 141 young cadets collected using the Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale (Fisher & King, 2010) with qualitative insights from semi-structured interviews. The results indicate that 98 (69.5%) of young cadets demonstrated a high level of autonomy and 43 (30.5%) a moderate level, with desire for learning emerging as the strongest factor, followed by self-control and self-management. Major barriers included limited tablet specifications, unstable campus Wi-Fi, and heavy academic schedules. Nevertheless, young cadets employed strategies such as reading e-books, listening to English songs, and reviewing materials during optimal times. These strategies primarily supported receptive skills (reading and listening), consistent with Krashen’s Input Hypothesis. The findings contribute to maritime education literature by highlighting that while technology promotes learner autonomy, its effectiveness depends on institutional support through device enhancement, reliable internet access, and flexible study arrangements.

Abstract

Effective English communication is vital in the global maritime industry. Maritime English, a branch of English for Specific Purposes (ESP), addresses the needs of maritime professionals. Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) uses real-life scenarios, making it ideal for vocational training. This means practicing real shipboard situations for maritime cadets, leading to effective learning. This study investigates the effectiveness of Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) on cadets’ speaking skills when learning English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instructional materials. The study applied a quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent group design, involving 48 cadets from the deck study program at the Merchant Marine Polytechnic of Makassar, Indonesia. The results indicate a significant improvement in the pretest-posttest scores, analyzed using a statistical test with the prerequisite data being normally distributed. The hypothesis test results, with a significance value of 0.000, confirm that there were differences in the speaking skills of the cadets at the Merchant Marine Polytechnic of Makassar after applying the CTL model in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instructional materials. The findings highlight that the CTL model positively impacts and optimally influences the teaching and learning process in speaking skills when cadets learn ESP materials. This approach increases cadets' confidence and encourages them to be active learners based on their real experiences.
