Evaluating English Language Learning Challenges among Graduating Nursing Students: A Comprehensive Analysis

Abstract

    This study aims to evaluate the learning complications encountered by nursing students in the English language at the undergraduate level. The study's sample comprised eight principals, eight English lecturers, and 200 students randomly selected from various nursing schools in Karachi. A descriptive and survey approach is adopted, which was subsequently analyzed using SPSS v-20. The findings revealed that 68% of the participants acknowledged that nursing students faced learning difficulties in the English language, while 32% of the participants expressed otherwise. Moreover, 66% of the participants confirmed that English teachers know to provide English language content, while 26% of the participants expressed scepticism, 47% of the participants using ICT-based teaching, and 35% of the participants held contrasting views. The study also revealed that most nursing teachers encountered challenges teaching the English language. The study recommends appointing competent and trained teachers for effective ICT-based teaching.
