Summary
An instructional material (ESP Nursing) is one important component in the success of educational programs, especially in the field of nursing. The development of learning English is more emphasis on the authenticity of the material that is contextual activities or work involved, one of which is in nursing profession. The learning in the context of real (natural) is more effective than learning English focused on mastery of grammatical competence. Some textbooks/course books, there is no longer compatible with the latest developments in language learning theory, for example, in the textbooks/course. Journal of English Teaching and Research books still feature-based grammar lessons. The weakness, when students are directly involved in the context of real communication, they are not able to speak fluently and accurately, in other words the need for improved communication competence is huge demand.
