Abstract

The world economic trends along with expanding markets have driven up the need for English language proficiency among fashion design students at Indonesian vocational high schools. This study performed a needs analysis to identify the English learning needs focusing in reading and viewing skills for tenth-grade students majoring in fashion design. Student questionnaires combined with an English teaching interview were used to collect data using descriptive research methodology. Sixteen students and one English teacher are the participants in this study. Questionnaire responses show that most of the students want careers in fashion design and merchandising, thus they need industry terminology and professional documentation skills and business communication skills. The students demonstrate primarily beginner-level English skills that they struggle to understand fashion-related vocabulary, professional communication, and official fashion documents like tech-packs. The research findings demonstrate why educational content must blend workplace-relevant material while matching industry requirements. To increase students' engagement and comprehension an English teacher needs to integrate multimedia resources together with visual-based instruction and authentic materials. The research helps develop English for Specific Purposes (ESP) learning materials that target vocational education to enable students to develop necessary skills for their future professions.

Abstract

This study is conducted using a systematic literature review which explores the strategies, impacts, and challenges during the implementation of Differentiated Reading Instruction (DRI) strategies in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Classrooms.  The literature review analyses 19 studies published between 2014 and 2024, sourced from databases like Scopus, Google Scholar, and Mendeley. The findings reveal that tiered assignments and flexible grouping achieve the highest frequency use in DRI implementation. The strategies show the positive effects namely on reading comprehension, student engagement, and self-confidence. However, the reviews also find out the challenges such as a restricted time, limited resources, and insufficient teacher training hinder effective implementation. For further research, it is recommended to explore on other language skills namely listening, speaking, and writing to broad the impacts of DRI. The study also identifies the importance of teachers’ training on DI practices to overcome the challenges in diverse classrooms.
