Abstract

This study examines the mismatch between the English competence of SMK SMTI Makassar students and industry demands. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study involved 12th-grade PM 3 students and an experienced English teacher through interviews, questionnaires, and document analysis. The results revealed a significant gap, with the main challenges including a lack of learning motivation, limited speaking and listening skills, and weaknesses in applying English in professional environments. The current curriculum does not fully meet industry needs due to the lack of focus on English for Specific Purposes (ESP). The study recommends integrating ESP into the curriculum, enhancing teacher professional development, and increasing student engagement in activities that develop speaking and listening skills. For future research, it is suggested to explore the implementation of ESP in vocational education and the use of contextual learning methods to improve students' readiness to enter the workforce.

Abstract

There are two objectives in this study, namely: 1) to find out how teaching strategies motivate students in English classes. 2) students' perceptions regarding the role of teaching strategies on their English learning motivation. This research is a type of mixed qualitative and quantitative research (mixed method) that employs a standard survey method for quantitative data collection and a descriptive method for qualitative data collection in order to determine how and what students think about the role of teachers' teaching strategies on students' motivation to learn English. The study's participants were students in grades 10 A and 10 B at SMK Negeri 2 Soppeng, and it used two types of instruments: Google Forms and interviews.  The snowball technique was employed for interview sampling, with the first student chosen by the English teacher who taught in both classes, followed by the first interviewee, and so on. 1) The study's findings demonstrated that teaching strategy is one of the primary elements influencing students' learning motivation. Teachers must be highly skilled and creative in order to motivate pupils to be more active and involved in their education. This study reveals that the majority of positive facts from students indicate that English teachers who teach in the two classes have been able to motivate students to interact and build a sense of passion. 2) As a result of detailing the three types of teaching tactics used by the teacher, the students experienced a variety of benefits that improved the efficacy of their learning. Furthermore, it can boost students' passion for studying and give them the impression that learning English will have a significant impact on their lives in the long run.
