Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) in enhancing business English fluency among 30 Women micro-entrepreneurs in Makassar, Indonesia, through offline simulations of real-world business scenarios. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining pre/post-tests (modified IELTS Speaking Test) with qualitative data from interviews and observations to assess improvements in linguistic proficiency and confidence. Participants engaged in eight sessions of CTL-based activities, including negotiation role-plays, product presentations, case studies, and collaborative proposal writing, aligned with Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory and ESP principles. Quantitative results revealed significant gains: mean IBECT scores increased from 5.2 to 7.0 (Cohen’s d = 1.46, large effect), while self-reported confidence rose by 35% (p < 0.05). Qualitative insights highlighted enhanced critical thinking and strategic negotiation skills through simulations (e.g., adapting to non-verbal cues, tactical decision-making) and vocabulary expansion via peer collaboration. However, time constraints in role-plays were noted as a challenge, albeit fostering adaptability under pressure. Despite limitations such as a small sample and short intervention period, the findings underscored CTL’s potential to bridge theoretical knowledge and practical application, offering actionable strategies for inclusive, context-specific training programs. The study recommended flexible practices—like dual-role-play formats—to balance realism and pedagogical depth, ultimately empowering women entrepreneurs in global business contexts.

Abstract

This study looks at how maritime cadets view English in their professional lives. It addresses a gap in understanding what vocational students think about language skills. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research collected data from 60 final-year cadets through questionnaires and 5 through in-depth interviews at a maritime polytechnic in Makassar. The investigation uncovered important insights. The quantitative findings showed a significant difference: cadets rated the importance of English highly (mean = 4.52). About 78.3% strongly agreed that it is essential for maritime jobs. However, their attitudes toward learning it were low (mean = 2.48), with only 8.3% expressing strong positivity. The qualitative findings revealed a change in perception. Cadets see English as an "academic burden" in classrooms but view it as a "professional asset" after gaining sea experience. The study suggests changing how English is taught in maritime schools. It recommends including context-specific content earlier and simulating professional communication situations. These adjustments could help close the gap between attitudes and the importance of English and frame it as a crucial skill for global maritime careers instead of an academic hurdle.
