Abstract

Communication skills in English are an essential competency for nursing students to face the challenges of globalization and international healthcare services. However, many students still struggle to express themselves confidently in real clinical contexts. This community service program aimed to enhance the communication ability of nursing students through English training using the role-play method. The training was conducted with final-year nursing students at Politeknik Sandi Karsa and applied a participatory approach consisting of lectures, demonstrations, role play simulations, group discussions, and reflective evaluations. Various clinical scenarios were designed, such as explaining medication usage, calming anxious patients, and describing vital sign procedures. The program was implemented over two days, with the first day focusing on interactive material delivery and facilitator demonstrations, while the second day emphasized practical role-play performance with direct feedback. A total of 23 students participated actively in this activity. The results indicated a significant improvement in students’ confidence and ability to use English in professional healthcare communication. Participants expressed positive responses toward the method, highlighting that role play reduced speaking anxiety, increased motivation, and fostered readiness for real clinical interactions. The Focus Group Discussion (FGD) confirmed that this method not only improved English proficiency but also enhanced soft skills such as empathy, teamwork, and therapeutic communication. The outcomes suggest that role–play–based English training is an effective strategy to support nursing education and should be integrated regularly into the curriculum to prepare graduates for global healthcare demands

Abstract

Digital reading literacy and critical thinking are essential in ESP learning because students are required to critically understand, evaluate, and interpret specific digital texts relevant to their academic and professional fields. This study aims to analyze the effect of the integration of AI-powered reading tools in learning English for Specific Purposes (ESP) on the ability of digital reading literacy and critical thinking skills of students. This research employed a quantitative methodology utilizing a quasi-experimental design with two groups: an experimental group of 30 students and a control group of 30 students in the accounting study program. The experimental group utilized that integrated AI-powered reading tools such as ChatGPT, Spreeder and Perplexity AI, whereas the control group employed traditional learning methods. The data was gathered using a pretest and posttest aimed at assessing students' digital reading and critical thinking abilities. Data analysis was performed utilizing SPSS Statistics 26, employing descriptive statistical methods, an independent samples t-test, and effect size (Cohen’s d). The findings indicated that both groups exhibited growth, although the experimental group showed a more pronounced increase compared to the control group. The independent sample t-test findings revealed a significant difference in posttest scores between the two groups (p < 0.05), indicating that AI-powered reading tools effectively enhance student learning outcomes, especially in critical thinking skills and digital reading literacy. Furthermore, the effect size research indicates that the implementation of AI technology significantly enhances student capabilities. This study concludes that using AI in ESP learning can effectively enhance students' digital reading proficiency and critical thinking abilities. The implications of this research indicate that the integration of AI in ESP learning can be an effective strategy to improve students' digital reading literacy and critical thinking skills.
