Abstract

This study aims to explores students' perceptions of their English teachers' teaching styles and their influence on students’ interest. Conducted among Sophomore and General classes at My Liberty English Course, the research used a descriptive quantitative approach with a survey design. A questionnaire captured students' views on teaching styles and their influence on student interest. The findings indicate that students have varying preferences for different teaching styles, with a notable appreciation for the Expert and Delegator styles. These styles were associated with higher levels of student engagement and interest. Other styles, such as Personal Model and Formal Authority, also received positive feedback, while the Facilitator style was less favoured. The study concludes that specific teaching styles significantly influence students' attention, willingness, needs, feelings of happiness, participation, and overall attitude toward learning English.Keywords: Perception, Teaching Styles, Students Interest

Abstract

This study investigates the English language needs of students enrolled in the Room Division program at the Tourism Polytechnic of Makassar, Indonesia. Recognizing English as a critical skill in the hospitality sector especially in guest-facing roles, this research aims to assess whether the current English course aligns with the communicative demands of the workplace. Employing a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, quantitative data were gathered through a 15-item Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 39 students, while qualitative insights were collected via semi-structured interviews with four purposively selected participants. Statistical analysis revealed that students perceived English as highly relevant to their future careers, particularly in speaking and customer service contexts. However, they also expressed a need for more interactive learning, including simulations, role-plays, and authentic materials. Thematic analysis of the interview data confirmed that students found the course lacking in real-world communication practice and contextualized vocabulary. Grounded in ESP theory, this study identifies gaps between the current curriculum and the specific language tasks expected in hotel operations. The findings underscore the importance of tailoring English instruction to meet learners’ professional goals and suggest the integration of task-based, industry-relevant activities. Recommendations are provided for curriculum developers, instructors, and policymakers to enhance the effectiveness of ESP instruction in vocational hospitality education.
