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.

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges of mastering technical vocabulary in writing English procedure texts in grade X high school students in Indonesia, which is caused by traditional teacher-centered teaching methods and the lack of adaptation of interactive technology. As a solution, the study proposes the integration of AI chatbots (such as ChatGPT) to provide personalized learning, instant feedback, and contextual examples. The study used a descriptive quantitative approach with a survey technique through a validated 5-point Likert scale questionnaire (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.893). Participants consisted of 57 high school students in Bandung, with data analysis using descriptive statistics. The results showed that 78.9% of students used ChatGPT to generate procedure texts, and the chatbot was rated as easy to use (mean 3.33–3.58). However, 31.6% of students stated that vocabulary was irrelevant to the curriculum, and 43.9% were not motivated to write procedure texts. The conclusion of the study confirms that AI chatbots are effective as micro-aids, but they require curriculum-based content integration, interface improvements, and collaboration with teachers to improve holistic effectiveness.
