AimThe aim of this study was to explore how non‐nurses and nurses differ regarding the perceived images and expected roles of Indonesian nurses.DesignA cross‐sectional survey studyMethodsAn online tool shared via email was used to collect data in March 2014, from a convenient sample of 1,228 employees of a private university located in Karawaci, Indonesia. An English/Indonesian version of the survey was developed: 19 perception items and 19 expectation items using a 5‐point Likert scale. Independent sample t tests were used to compare groups.ResultsOne hundred and forty‐three people completed the survey; a response rate of 11.6%. Thirteen were nurses and 130 were non‐nurses. Compared with nurses, non‐nurses were less likely to agree with statements that Indonesian nurses are self‐sacrificing, provide help to others, are devoted to caring, perform housekeeping duties and are knowledgeable. Monitoring nurses' image on a regular basis is essential. A public education campaign could focus on selected positive characteristics to improve the image of Indonesian nurses.
<p>Industrial Revolution (IR) 4.0. is about dealing with digital-native students and developing autonomous learning. One possible strategy to deal with these issues is using YouTube as a tool for English language learning. There have been some studies discussing the effectiveness of using it, yet we still have niches; for instance, deeper and wider contexts and respondents. Thus, this study aims to examine students’ autonomy over their learning and whether YouTube can develop the listening comprehension skills of nursing students in a Faculty of Nursing in Tangerang. To achieve the first aim, quantitative and qualitative studies were conducted, while for the second aim, an experimental study was used. The experimental study involved an experimental group consisting of 16 students and a control group consisting of 16 students. The result shows that the participants consider YouTube as a useful support to develop their autonomy in learning English and YouTube video has been successful to develop their listening skills.</p>
This paper gives a description of the emergence of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF), its debates and how its pervasive nature has started to shift the concept of competent speakers from gaining the native speakers' proficiency into becoming the resourceful speakers who are able to communicate in diverse communities. This paper provides the overview of the current existing language assessment models and how they contrast to ELF communication model which emphasises more intelligibility than the accuracy of the native speakers' norm. By providing the conversation excerpts from the students' works, this paper proves how fossilised norms fail to assess the intelligibility and the achieved goal of the communication thus suggest the implication for the language educators. The suggestions include raising the awareness of the language educators to be more flexible when assessing the students' oral production of ELF, to focus on how the students make the negotiation and meaning making, deal with phonological differences, and use ELF pragmatics. Finally, how the goal is achieved through the fluidity is what inevitably needed to be paid attention to.
Provoked by the Faculty of Nursing’s graduate career prospective, ‘nurse in international nursing services’, this study aimed to investigate the Englishes nursing students were in favour of and the Englishes they needed for their future career and to find out their perceptions toward English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). Taking the form of a case study, this study collected data through open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The findings generally highlighted paradoxes in participants’ views of ELF. Students were found to be in favour of Standard English (SE), although in the future what they truly expected from patients was the intelligibility to create therapeutic conversation. Furthermore, the participants seemed to be aware of the variety of Englishes in existence but believed that SE should be taught in class. This study also found out that local accents speak for their cultural identity. Therefore, the implication of the study calls for attention to the potential benefits of introducing ELF and provides some recommendation of how ELF could be best introduced at classrooms.
