English is the language of the present age and it is also a global language. A recent estimation suggests that while around 375 million people speak English as their first language, another billion use it as a second language, or learning (Barančicová and Zerzová 2015). The role of teaching materials plays a significant part in the development of language. This study aimed to describe the students’ perception towards English for Tourism and Hospitality in terms of task English teaching materials. This research applied a quantitative-qualitative approach and descriptive method. The results revealed that students’ perception was in very good category. It concluded that the role of academics and lecturers in conducting task on learning materials is carried out based on the objective of vocational curriculum and the achievement of student competence has been progressing according to the mechanism. It is suggested that in developing and establishing teaching materials, developer, teachers, stakeholder should consider the target perception, and the difficulties faced by the lecturers may be manipulated by preparing a lot before teaching.

Abstract

This study addresses the challenge of improving English-speaking skills among Room Division students at Makassar Tourism Polytechnic, crucial for effective communication in hospitality roles. Many students struggle with fluency and confidence due to limited practice and language anxiety. To bridge this gap, the English Matriculation Program (EMP) was developed, integrating Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) to enhance practical language skills. A pre-experimental design was employed with 60 students, who underwent pre- and post-tests, alongside a questionnaire to gather perceptions of the program’s impact. Key CLT elements—social engagement, focus on meaning, and critical thinking—were emphasized, with tasks including role-plays and problem-solving exercises that mimic real-world communication. Structural equation modelling and paired t-tests indicated a significant improvement in speaking performance, with average scores rising from 39.10 to 62.87. Questionnaire results reinforced these findings, with students reporting increased confidence, reduced anxiety, and better fluency. Overall, CLT’s practical, student-centred approach effectively enhances English proficiency, preparing students for successful communication in the hospitality industry.
