Abstract

The increasing globalization of healthcare requires midwives to develop effective English communication skills since it has become the standard of international communication in healthcare facilities. This research aims to evaluate the English language needs of midwifery students and identify gaps in current instructional practices.   The research design was qualitative, and data was collected through questionnaire responses, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis.   The samples included 30 participants from midwifery students, instructor, and clinical supervisor. The findings indicated that all students acknowledged medical terminology and patient communication skills as vital subjects.   Students expressed anxiety and a lack of readiness using English in clinical settings because of the substantial difference between classroom learning and real-world practice.   The study finds that English for Specific Purposes (ESP) curricula do not adequately address the precise linguistic requirements that characterize midwifery practice. Developing curricula for midwifery students should use authentic material and contextualized scenarios, integrated with language training by clinical supervisors and support from educators, may assist students in real-world engagement to enhance clinical care across settings. Future research should examine larger factors that shape language education in health services.

Abstract

This study investigates how Grice’s Cooperative Principle and Leech’s Politeness Principle function in unscripted podcast dialogues on the topic of plastic surgery. While these pragmatic frameworks have been widely applied in analyzing spoken interaction, their application in informal digital contexts such as podcasts remains underexplored. Using a descriptive qualitative method, this research analyzes transcripts from two YouTube podcast episodes: Megan Fox: My Plastic Surgery Story by Call Her Daddy and Why We Became Plastic Surgeons by Dr. CalvertTV. The findings reveal that speakers generally adhere to the maxims of quality, quantity, relation, and manner, while also applying politeness strategies including tact, modesty, and agreement. However, instances of flouting were also observed, often serving rhetorical purposes such as humor, emphasis, or the negotiation of sensitive topics. The study concludes that both Gricean and Leechian principles remain relevant in analyzing digital communication. Podcast discourse provides valuable insight into how meaning, relational alignment, and conversational coherence are co-constructed in real-time, shaped by both linguistic choices and social context.
