Abstract

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) theory emphasizes the mutually integrated and symbiotic relations between language and disciplinary knowledge. Based on this perspective, this study analyses the Double Focus teaching mode implementation that combined business knowledge with English language skills. This is implemented in a Business English course at higher vocational college to enable talent cultivation focus to shift to the internalization of business knowledge while continuing to improve English proficiency. The Double Focus teaching strategy adapted authentic business tasks simulation and practice from actual Foreign Reception Training Course like airport pick-up task via a plan, do, check, action (PDCA) approach. This study found that the integrative element promoted better association between language and business knowledge, raise awareness of using English in situational contexts and foster effective internalization of content knowledge among students. The successful implementation of such integrated CLIL can serve as a reference for the cultivation of language as well as business skills among undergraduates of English at higher vocational colleges

Abstract

Reading comprehension is essential for non-language students in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) to access domain-specific knowledge, yet many face challenges with news item texts due to their complex structure and limited exposure to journalistic content, leading to high reading anxiety and low comprehension scores. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of graphic organizers in enhancing reading comprehension of news item texts and to assess student perceptions in an ESP context. Employing a quantitative quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design, the research involved 120 second-semester students from Universitas Duta Bangsa and Universitas Dharma AUB, Surakarta, using reading comprehension tests and a perception questionnaire. Results showed a significant score increase (mean = 15.76; p < 0.001; N-Gain = 0.42, moderate), with a positive shift in score categories and reduced variance. Students reported high satisfaction (mean = 3.24) with the ease, clarity, and engagement of graphic organizers. These findings highlight graphic organizers as effective visual scaffolding tools, enhancing cognitive and emotional engagement, and suggest their integration into ESP pedagogy to improve academic reading outcomes for non-language learners across disciplines.
