For midwifery students, it is
necessary to be able to speak English fluently because some of them will work
in International Hospital and force them to communicate with foreigners. One of
the English Lecturers in Akademi Kebidanan Buleleng is Ms. Lacinta Candra. She
has been an ESP teacher for 3 semesters in Akbid. She uses team teaching when
she teaches the students.
She got the syllabus from the school
in the beginning of the semester. In the syllabus, there are four skills that
should be mastered by the students, namely listening, speaking, reading and
writing skill. In standard competency, it is stated that the students should be
able to apply English for midwifery. It means that teacher should teach the
appropriate material that will be given to the students for midwifery. The
material focuses on the vocabulary and grammar for midwifery.
In the lesson plan, Ms. Cinta uses
lecturing, group work, and game as the strategy in teaching the students. She
also uses imperative sentence to teach about giving direction and giving
instruction. She taught the imperative sentence by asking the students to fill
in the blank on their sheet which given by her before. The students must be
listen the audio and answer the missed word. She uses imperative sentence to
introduce English in general. Besides that, Ms. Cinta tells the students to
make a conversation and perform it in front of the class in order to improve
public speaking with the patient.
She uses advice strategy in the group
section. She divided the students into several groups and gave a case to each
group. The students will discuss the case. After that, they find out a case by
themselves and share an advice to the others. Besides that, she have games that
will be given to the students, namely
open and close question which used W-H question, guess the words and Jo party
game.
After the explanation from Ms. Cinta,
there was a discussion section. The points from the discussion section will
explain as follows:
a. The
teacher gets a syllabus from the school or university (AKBID Singaraja). The
syllabus will be given five month before the teacher start to teach in the
school. Teacher must make a lesson plan based on the syllabus. Before make the
lesson plan, the teacher must be read a lot about the field in order to improve
and choose the appropriate material and reach the goal.
b. The
teacher uses a Post-test in the form of objective test and essay test as
assessing activity and also asks the students to make a video containing the
materials that they have learnt in the class as a final test.
c. The
teacher uses bilingual language in teaching learning process for midwifery
students. The teacher begins the lesson from the general thing (general
vocabulary and grammar) into a specific thing (specific vocabulary for
midwifery and grammar).
d.
The obstacles that faces by the teacher
when taught ESP for Midwifery is providing the material. It is because the
teacher teaches about the material in different field and they must read a lot
in order to understand about the field. In addition, a good source is not easy
to find as the materials.
