Abstract

In the era of globalization, English language skills are crucial for career readiness, especially in technical fields such as Building Information Modeling (BIM). However, vocational high school students often face challenges in developing these skills due to curricula that prioritize technical expertise over professional communication. This study examines BIM students' perceptions of the importance of English language skills for their career readiness and the challenges they face in acquiring them. The study collected data using a descriptive, quantitative approach through a questionnaire that had been previously validated by 30 respondents. This was then distributed to 72 BIM students at a public vocational school in Bandung. The results showed that the majority of students (97.3%) recognized a competitive advantage in finding employment due to their English language skills, but 84.7% lacked confidence in using English professionally, largely due to a lack of learning opportunities that fostered confidence in speaking English. Furthermore, 94.4% of students felt that their English lessons did not fully focus on the speaking skills needed in the workplace. These findings highlight the need for vocational education to adopt a more practical and interactive English curriculum that integrates job interview simulations, project presentations, and direct exposure to professional communication in English. This study showed that increasing students' confidence and competence in speaking English can improve their career prospects in an increasingly internationalized job market.

Abstract

Textbooks play a crucial role in English language teaching, particularly in vocational schools where materials are expected to support students’ professional and communicative needs. However, many textbooks still provide general English content without sufficient attention to specific vocational contexts. This study aimed to evaluate the English textbook used by eleventh-grade tourism vocational students and to analyze its relevance to learners’ academic and workplace needs. This research employed a descriptive qualitative design using a triangulation of instruments: a textbook evaluation checklist, student questionnaires, and teacher interviews. The data were analyzed thematically and descriptively to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the textbook in relation to the 2013 Curriculum and the requirements of English for Specific Purposes (ESP). The findings revealed that the textbook was only partially aligned with the needs of tourism students. While it covered general language skills, it lacked listening activities, contained insufficient tourism-related vocabulary, and offered limited authentic tasks relevant to the tourism industry. Teachers reported supplementing the textbook with authentic resources to bridge the gap between classroom learning and workplace demands. In conclusion, the study highlights the urgent need for vocational English textbooks that are based on systematic needs analysis and that integrate authentic, domain-specific tasks. It is recommended that future textbook development for vocational schools focus on industry relevance to better prepare students for employability and career success in tourism.
