Abstract

English Language Teaching (ELT) in many global and Indonesian contexts has long been dominated by technical–instrumental orientations, including grammar instruction, standardized test preparation, and utilitarian communicative competence for academic and economic mobility. These practices reduce language to a functional skill and overlook its deeper humanistic, moral, and philosophical dimensions. This conceptual article examines ELT through the philosophical notion of humans as language-making beings individuals who construct meaning, identity, and social reality through language. Drawing on humanistic educational philosophy, perspectives on linguistic rights, Maturana’s theory of language and emotion, and contemporary critiques of exam-oriented ELT, the article argues that language education should serve as a process of humanization rather than technical training. The discussion highlights the need to reorient ELT toward moral imagination, hope, advocacy, and global citizenship. The article also situates these issues in the Indonesian ELT landscape, where exam-driven and native-speaker–oriented practices remain dominant, despite growing calls for multilingual justice. Ultimately, this paper proposes a conceptual framework for humanistic ELT that affirms learners’ identities, supports ethical awareness, and promotes English as a medium for constructing meaningful social participation.

Abstract

          The rapid globalization and digital transformation of healthcare require pharmacists to master professional communication and digital literacy alongside pharmacological expertise. Therefore, English for Specific Purposes (ESP), particularly English for Pharmacy (EfP), must integrate Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to reflect authentic professional practices. This study aims to systematically examine how ICT is applied, perceived, and evaluated in EfP instruction within pharmacy education. This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) analyzed 22 peer-reviewed articles published between 2014 and 2024, retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science, and ERIC, using keywords related to ICT, ESP, English for Pharmacy, and pharmacy education. Articles were selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria and analyzed thematically. The review reveals three key findings. First, ICT integration in EfP has evolved from basic digital content delivery to student-centered models such as the Flipped Classroom, which consistently enhances learning outcomes and student satisfaction. Second, Mobile Learning is the most widely adopted technology, particularly effective in improving vocabulary mastery and professional communication skills. Third, successful ICT adoption is strongly influenced by UTAUT factors and supported by blended learning approaches, while major challenges include limited infrastructure, insufficient faculty training, and constraints on personalized feedback. This study contributes to ESP and pharmacy education by providing an evidence-based framework for strategic ICT integration in EfP, offering pedagogical guidance for educators and directions for future research, including the potential use of Artificial Intelligence in professional language instruction.
