As far as medical profession is concerned, medical personnel need English language in their professional settings. The demand for English for Occupational Purposes (EOP) grows proportionally to the universal demand for employees, who can function in English, in their fields of specialization. It therefore demands medical personnel to acquire English competences to meet with their desired level of English proficiency skills. What English competences are needed and whether they need English training program will determine the urgency needs analysis on the medical personnel English communication skills. This study is aimed at investigating the communicative needs of medical personnel at professional level in survey-based research. The data were collected, analyzed and interpreted qualitatively by administering observational notes, interview, and questionnaire among medical representatives. Further, this study is expected to gain beneficial outputs such as research report, proceeding after having been presented in national or international conference, and could be further developed into learning module for training program.

English Language Skills

Madrasa teachers working in marginalized institutions get training, but this training is not commensurate with the level of learning crisis they face. They are victims of both 'teaching and training poverty'. This actually explains for their inability to understand English and to impart training in foundational English Language skills: literacy, numeracy, digital, and transferable skills. Unable to find opportunities for acquiring these skills, Madrasa teachers are not able to connect themselves with the mainstream education and therefore miss opportunities for productive employment. The impact of 'learning and training poverty' on the morale of the Madrasa teachers is well established as they miss opportunities normally linked with their disadvantaged conditions, yet their religious sentiment remains a significant concern. In view of these, the chapter looks at the possibility of a ‘degree of fit' English training program so as to focus on Madrasa mainstreaming with a view to building more spaces for training-employment connectivity.

Entering the era of globalization, better known as free market requires every individual to prepare reliable resources, especially in the field of Science and Technology. In order to master these demands, adequate knowledge is required in dealing with the demands of a globalized world that is full of competition. In this regard, the role of the English language is required both in mastering communication technologies and to interact directly; moreover, the presence of the media especially the Internet will force people to learn English. As a means of global communication, English should be actively mastered both orally and in written. In an increasingly globalized business world, there are more local Indonesian companies entering into the world market, and growing number of international companies. This research is an attempt to create the roles of exporters, especially the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) through the products produced by the exporters themselves. Comparing Indonesian export revenue number to other countries, the value of Indonesia's exports is relatively low. One of the constraints faced by exporters is in terms of the ability of a foreign language, namely English. Mastery of English is the main capital to open international trading communication. This research focuses on Quantitative method using chi square analysis, where it can be used to test the relationor the effect of two nominal variables and to measure the relation strength of each variable with other nominal variable (C as the coefficient of contingency). From the chi square method, difference from the SME before and after the Export English course training is expected to be found. The training will use classroom method. The title of this study is prepare SME in Facing AEC 2015 through English training program to obtain the export market.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Rural and low-resource areas have diminished capacity to care for neurosurgical patients due to lack of infrastructure, healthcare investment, and training programs. This review summarizes the range of rural neurosurgical procedures, novel mechanisms for delivering care, rapid training programs, and outcome differences across international rural neurosurgical practice. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed for English language manuscripts with keywords “rural” and “neurosurgery” using the National Library of Medicine PubMed database (01/1971–06/2017). Twenty-four articles focusing on rural non-neurosurgical practice were included. Results: Time to care and/or surgery and shortage of trained personnel remain the strongest risk factors for mortality and poor outcome. Telemedicine consults to regional centers with neurosurgery housestaff have potential for increased timeliness of diagnosis/triage, improved time to surgery, and reductions in unnecessary transfers in remote areas. Mobile neurosurgery teams have been deployed with success in nations with large transport distances precluding initial transfers. Common neurosurgical procedures involve trauma mechanisms; accordingly, training programs for nonneurosurgery medical personnel on basic assessment and operative techniques have been successful in resource-deficient settings where neurosurgeons are unavailable. Conclusions: Protracted transport times, lack of resources/training, and difficulty retaining specialists are barriers to successful outcomes. Advances in telemedicine, mobile neurosurgery, and training programs for urgent operative techniques have been implemented efficaciously. Development of guidelines for paired partnerships between rural centers and academic hospitals, supplying surplus technology to rural areas, and rapid training of qualified local surgical personnel can create sustainable feed-forward programs for trainees and infrastructural solutions to address challenges in rural neurosurgery.
