Abstract

This study investigated the potential of case-based learning (CBL) integration in English education to enhance nurse communication. Recognizing the relevance of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses to nursing, this research explores the application of CBL as a bridge between theoretical knowledge and practical communication skills. The qualitative research methods focused on one lecturer, a class, and 15 students. Data collection included observations and document analysis to better understand CBL implementation and outcomes. Preliminary findings indicated CBL alignment with established frameworks, involving case introduction, source analysis, group discussions, roleplay, feedback, and reflection. It was concluded that, by adopting case-based learning, nursing education can equip future professionals with the language mastery that is essential for impactful patient interactions and collaborative care. The findings of this study provide insights into a practical methodology for enhancing nurse communication and English skills. © 2025 IJLS.
