Abstract

This paper aims to describe and understand the essence of the lived experiences of final-year college students with special needs regarding their adaptive help-seeking and academic resilience. The research approach used is a qualitative study involving students with various types of disabilities. Purposive sampling of 9 student were selected for the semi-structured interviews. Cassidy’s Academic Resilience Scale (ARS) was used as the interview guided. Data triangulation was used throughout the research to ensure integrated analysis. The result shows that participants described their parents as sources of emotional reassurance and moral encouragement. Besides, the theme of Peer Support reveals that the respondent has a mature strategy for maintaining their mental well-being. This study demonstrates that both parental and peer support are essential resources in sustaining the academic resilience of final year students with disabilities. While parental support was identified as the primary motivator, providing a strong foundation of care, encouragement, and responsibility, peer support emerged as equally vital in maintaining on going motivation and well-being.

Abstract

In the field of vocational hospitality education, English instruction is often not fully suited to the specific communication requirements of workplace interaction, especially for students with primary languages preparing for hospitality careers. Although previous ESP needs analyses focused primarily on hospitality or tourism courses, limited research has examined the corresponding English needs of English-based students in vocational polytechnics. The study aims to identify the priority language skills, the context of work place communication, learning preferences and perceived constraints of these students. Data collected from 50 students were analyzed using descriptive quantitative survey designs and frequency and percentage distributions. The results indicate that students prioritize speaking and listening skills for guest interaction and service communication, emphasizing the need for a specific vocabulary and contextual, practice-oriented learning for guests. Despite a strong recognition of the demands of the professional language, students report continuing challenges related to vocabulary mastery, pronunciation and communication confidence, revealing a gap between the goals and actual preparations. The study contributes to ESP research by extending the accommodation-oriented needs analysis to students of the English Study Programme and highlighting the coexistence of professional consciousness and communication constraints. The results support the development of English instruction based on performance, based on scenarios, in vocational contexts.
