Abstract

Writing is a fundamental skill in English language learning. However, it poses challenges for vocational students, especially when composing job application letters. Mastery in organizing content, utilizing appropriate formal language, and applying accurate grammar is essential for effective professional communication. This study aims to analyze students' ability to write job application letters using Canva Worksheets as an instructional tool. A descriptive qualitative research design was applied, focusing on eleventh-grade culinary program students at SMKN 6 Yogyakarta. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and student worksheets. A rubric-based scoring system was used to evaluate students' writing performance, considering content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics. The analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s framework, involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Findings revealed that although some students demonstrated strength in content and organization, a significant number struggled with vocabulary, grammar, and mechanics. Only 30% achieved high scores in content, and merely 16% excelled in vocabulary. Teacher insights affirmed challenges in structuring ideas and applying formal expressions. Canva Worksheets provided structured, visually appealing resources that increased student motivation and improved writing organization. Future studies should investigate long-term impacts of digital tools on writing proficiency.

Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. To Analysis the data the resercher used thematic analysis. The findings revealed that needs of ESP students are highly contextual and professionally oriented, with a particular emphasis on speaking and writing skills relevant to business communication such as meetings, presentations, negotiations, and report writing. Major challenges identified include limited technical vocabulary, the use of general materials that lack business relevance, and teacher-centered instruction methods. Students expressed a preference for more authentic, interactive, and task-based learning activities that reflect real-world business practices. The study concludes that ESP learning should adopt communicative and participatory approaches aligned with industry demands to enhance professional competence. The results contribute theoretically to ESP needs analysis and curriculum design, and practically to the development of relevant and effective learning materials for business students.
