| The objectives of the study are to identify the role of English in the workplace for Indonesian migrant workers and to identify the most effective strategies and resources used by them to learn and acquire their English skills. The study employs a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design, collecting data through questionnaires and interviews. The participants include Indonesian migrant workers from various countries. The findings highlight the benefits of good English skills in the workplace, such as enhanced professional development and career opportunities. The strategies used by Indonesian migrant workers include engaging in regular conversations, utilizing online resources, enrolling in language programs, and practicing reading and writing. The findings align with the theoretical framework proposed by Darvin and Norton (2015) in terms of identity, ideology, and capital in language learning. The implications of the research suggest pedagogical and practical strategies for language educators to support the English language skills development of Indonesian migrant workers, emphasizing the practical benefits, creating a supportive learning environment, integrating online resources, offering structured language programs, encouraging conversation practice, and developing reading and writing skills. These implications can enhance the language learning experience and career prospects of Indonesian migrant workers. |
