Abstract

Abstract. German language learning at Bali Tourism Polytechnic (BiTP), particularly in reading skills, often faces challenges in effectiveness and student engagement. Students tend to passively receive material in class and lack motivation to develop reading skills independently. This study aims to improve German reading skills and foster independent learning motivation through the Flipped Classroom model. Using Classroom Action Research (CAR), the study examines the model’s application in teaching "Deutsch im Restaurant," focusing on reading skills. Research instruments include participatory observation, reading tests, motivation questionnaires, and lecturer reflection notes. Conducted in 5th-semester Food and Beverage Service classes, the study followed Poltekpar Bali’s daily schedule. The approach allows students to study materials at home via readings and videos, maximizing class time for discussions and deeper comprehension. The results demonstrate that the Flipped Classroom model is effective in improving German reading skills, with significant enhancements in text comprehension and active student participation. The implementation of this method also successfully increased students' independent learning motivation. The global implication of this research is the potential for the Flipped Classroom model to be adapted in other foreign language learning contexts, particularly in enhancing reading skills and self-directed learning across various educational institutions. However, the application of the Flipped Classroom model also presents challenges, such as varying levels of independent learning abilities among students. Therefore, lecturers need to prepare materials thoroughly and provide clear guidance to ensure all students can optimally benefit from this method. Keywords: Deutsch im Restaurant, Flipped Classroom, Reading Skills

Abstract

Abstract. Foreign language learning in vocational tourism institutions, such as the Bali Tourism Polytechnic, still faces challenges in developing students’ communicative competence that is both contextual and functional. This study aims to describe the fundamental principles of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and to design an SFL-based German language learning model tailored to the professional communication needs of the tourism sector. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research was conducted through three main stages: a literature review, content analysis of authentic German tourism texts (e.g., hotel reservation dialogues, brochures, service emails, and spoken interactions), and the design of a learning model. The research instrument consisted of an SFL-based analytical grid covering ideational, interpersonal, and textual metafunctions to identify how language is used in professional tourism contexts. The findings demonstrate that integrating SFL into learning enables students to produce oral and written texts that are more contextual, communicative, and professionally appropriate, such as handling hotel reservations, providing travel information, and responding to customer complaints. The novelty of this study lies in applying SFL to German language learning within vocational tourism education, a field that has received little attention compared to English. Its broader implication is that an SFL-based learning model can serve as a framework for developing foreign language curricula in vocational education that are more practical, adaptive, and aligned with the demands of the global tourism industry. Keywords: German, Systemic-Functional Linguistics, vocational learning, tourism, text genres
