Abstract

It not uncommonly known that Indonesia is among countries with English is a foreign language or in other words English is not the language of instruction. As the effect of globalization, the importance of English in Indonesia comes to the growing seen from the increased needs of English such as the language competency is one of core requirements to get certain jobs or academic degrees. The current goal of Indonesia government is to follow the lead of neighbor countries in the 21st century trend in tourism and health which is interchangeably called “medical tourism” or “health tourism”. It proves to pull millions of dollars annually to its destination countries. At some point, English language competency can be assumed to play significant roles in medical tourists’ choices of destinations. This study discusses Indonesia’s potential to become an additional medical tourism destination, as indicated by recent government policy declarations. The author investigated this issue by studying a public hospital in Indonesia that was recently internationally certified approximately two years ago. The study focuses on potentials and challenges of Indonesian hospital nurses in fulfilling the demands of English language competency. Research methods included use of questionnaires, along with semi-structured and informal interviews. In the potential aspect, the nurses reported that they valued English as useful in their jobs even though they admitted that most of them were still less proficient.  The willingness to learn and the attempt to improve English in the workplace had been seen as a potential. Moreover, nurses suggested ways that the institution and government can do to help them with the English improvement. The overall finding is that Indonesia appears to be trying hard to improve its readiness for medical tourism. The findings could also reflect the situations in countries where English is a foreign language in struggling to fulfill the demands of nurses’ competency in the 21st century.

Abstract

This research aims at investigating how the elementary-school students write in English since they are already taught how to write the spellings of the English words and how to speak the language. The objectives of this research were to identify what syntactic types and subtypes are likely formed by the fourth and sixth graders of elementary school when they produce a situational description disregarding the errors that the learners have made. Such errors are considered to be developmental since they are inevitable in the process of learning and they are, therefore, not the concern of this paper. This study was done to the fourth-grade students and sixth-grade students of elementary school. All the samples were given a situational picture of a living room where a father, mother, son and daughter got together, and were asked to describe the picture according to their own perception. They were given only 45 minutes to do the assessment as it was the allocated time available. All the sentential constructions produced by the students were counted and analyzed in order to find the types and subtypes of sentences the fourth graders and the sixth graders used in their situational descriptive writing. The results of the study show that it the constructions of the sixth graders’ compound sentences are mostly simple in the sense that they conjoin only two simple sentences. Similarly, the constructions of their complex sentences are not very complex too. They consist of only one independent clause and one dependent clause. In their syntactic constructions compound and complex sentences are not found.
