Abstract

English learning materials play a pivotal role in supporting vocational high school (SMK) students in acquiring language competencies relevant to both academic progression and workplace demands. This study evaluates the quality, relevance, and pedagogical suitability of government-issued English coursebooks for Grades 10, 11, and 12 used in Indonesian vocational schools. Employing the SQRAR (Structure, Quality, Relevance, Appropriateness, and Readability) evaluation framework, expert reviewers in English language teaching assessed the coursebooks based on content organization, contextual alignment, linguistic features, and usability. The findings show that while the materials generally align with the national curriculum, several aspects require enhancement—particularly in integrating vocationally contextualized content, improving readability, and strengthening task authenticity. The study highlights the need for systematic revisions and adaptive learning resources that better reflect the linguistic, professional, and communicative needs of vocational students. Recommendations include embedding workplace discourse, incorporating industry-relevant tasks, and enriching multimodal resources to ensure that English materials more effectively support students’ future employability in diverse vocational fields.

Abstract

The ability of pre-service English teachers to create high-quality, contextually appropriate instructional materials is a critical component of effective pedagogy. This study provides a quantitative and analytical assessment of their proficiency in instructional design. By evaluating 28 material packages developed by pre-service teachers, this study identifies their strengths and remaining challenges in implementing modern pedagogical principles. A panel of ten subject experts evaluated the materials using a validated rubric assessing curriculum alignment, relevance, higher-order thinking skills (HOTS), and 21st-century skills. The results revealed variation in design competencies, with pre-service teachers performing best in foundational areas such as curriculum alignment (mean score 7.875) and pedagogy (mean scores for Suitability and 21st-century skills were 7.679 and 7.357, respectively). However, the study also found challenges in applying advanced pedagogical concepts, such as HOTS, Industry 4.0, and Society 5.0, with mean scores of 7.000, 7.000, and 6.964, respectively. These findings suggest an area for further strengthening in teacher education programs, particularly in supporting the integration of complex, abstract concepts like HOTS and contemporary pedagogical frameworks. Without sufficient preparation in these areas, pre-service teachers may find it challenging to apply these concepts effectively in their instructional practice.
