Abstract

This study investigates the English language skills required by students at Aviation Vocational High Schools, focusing on syllabus development and the challenges teachers face in preparing effective teaching materials. The research aims to identify the necessary English skills for aviation students, explore the difficulties in syllabus creation, and determine the skills teachers need to design a relevant curriculum. A needs analysis approach was used, with data collected through questionnaires, interviews, and document analysis of the existing syllabus. The study found that speaking skills were the most crucial, followed by reading, listening, and writing. However, the current syllabus does not adequately meet the needs of students, as teachers face challenges such as the lack of diagnostic assessments and materials that are not aligned with aviation industry standards. The study also identifies key teacher skills necessary for effective syllabus development, including the ability to assess student needs and ensure the syllabus is implemented in a way that aligns with the intended learning objectives. The findings highlight the need for a more tailored and effective approach to syllabus design in aviation vocational education.

Abstract

Abstract Background: This article presents a discourse analysis of online heritage tourism posts about archaeological and cultural tourist destinations in Surakarta. The objective is to examine the use of evaluative language in cultural contexts for the promotion of local attractions to the international audience. Methodology: The sample texts, selected from two prominent tourism websites (www.lonelyplanet.com and www.javaheritagetour.com), are analyzed through the lens of Appraisal theory, complemented with SFL's concept of Register and Genre. Findings: The results demonstrate that the deployment of evaluative linguistic resources serves not only to promote destinations but also to represent specific cultural and social processes. The discourse on Surakarta's heritage tourism places emphasis on the city's archaeological and cultural significance through Monoglossic language, presenting factual, reactive evaluations that enhance focalization on heritage sites but overlook broader socio-economic and political dimensions, limiting alternative angles and inclusivity. Conclusion: The paper concludes by discussing potential reasons for the evaluative pattern and providing several implications for online heritage tourism cultural communication. Originality: The paper not only discusses conservation, traditions, site management, and visitor experiences, but also applies Appraisal analysis, SFL Genre mapping, and an extended Cultural Approach to Discourse applied to Surakarta's online heritage promotion.
