Abstract

Giving vocational students meaningful writing experiences is very crucial in terms of how and what to write. Contextual learning seems to bemuse any English teachers, especially for vocational education, that writing might become enjoyable and meaningful. Considering English as specific purposes (ESP), English for nursing students meets the same problems. When the time and interest are spent much for nursing learning materials and process, English has become such a difficult and queer “matter” to learn, moreover the English writing. This situation otherwise has the teacher to provide writing experiences which are able to promote not only the writing skill but also the attitude toward English of the nursing students. Thereupon, this paper focuses on to what extent and how nursing care reporting, as implemented contextual learning, is able to enhance the students’ writing skill and attitudes toward writing. For evidential explanation, some research results are inserted.
