English is the language of the present age and it is also a global language. A recent estimation suggests that while around 375 million people speak English as their first language, another billion use it as a second language, or learning (Barančicová and Zerzová 2015). The role of teaching materials plays a significant part in the development of language. This study aimed to describe the students’ perception towards English for Tourism and Hospitality in terms of task English teaching materials. This research applied a quantitative-qualitative approach and descriptive method. The results revealed that students’ perception was in very good category. It concluded that the role of academics and lecturers in conducting task on learning materials is carried out based on the objective of vocational curriculum and the achievement of student competence has been progressing according to the mechanism. It is suggested that in developing and establishing teaching materials, developer, teachers, stakeholder should consider the target perception, and the difficulties faced by the lecturers may be manipulated by preparing a lot before teaching.

Tourism in coastal destinations often embodies the tension between global influences and local realities. This paper explores the sustainable transformation of marine tourism in Bira, Bulukumba, one of Indonesia’s prominent coastal resorts. The study investigates how global sustainability frameworks intersect with local community practices and how these dynamics shape the pathways toward responsible tourism development. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research employs in-depth interviews with stakeholders, field observations, and secondary data analysis. Findings reveal that global sustainability discourses—such as regenerative tourism, eco-certifications, and international market demands—have gradually influenced the operational models of Bira’s resorts. At the same time, local communities emphasize cultural preservation, livelihoods, and traditional marine practices. The intersection of these perspectives has generated both opportunities and challenges: while eco-friendly initiatives and community-based tourism programs have emerged, issues of waste management, resource conflicts, and cultural commodification remain significant obstacles. The study concludes that Bira stands at a critical crossroads where global sustainability goals and local identity must be harmonized. The paper recommends collaborative governance, capacity building for local stakeholders, and integrated coastal management to ensure tourism contributes positively to ecological resilience and community well-being.

Developing English teaching materials that align with industry demands remains a major challenge in English for Specific Purposes (ESP), particularly in tourism and hospitality education, where language competence directly influences professional readiness. While previous studies have emphasized instructional content, limited attention has been given to understanding the mechanisms through which content quality shapes students’ learning experiences. This study investigates the mediating role of Language Focus in the relationship between Content Focus and Student Perception using a Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. Data were collected from 149 undergraduate students enrolled in tourism and hospitality programs at Makassar Tourism Polytechnic through structured questionnaires. The findings demonstrate that Content Focus significantly influences Language Focus, which subsequently enhances Student Perception. Moreover, Language Focus partially mediates the relationship between Content Focus and Student Perception, indicating that high-quality instructional content contributes to positive learning experiences primarily by strengthening learners' language development. These findings extend the theoretical understanding of ESP material design by positioning Language Focus as a key pedagogical mechanism that links instructional content to educational outcomes. Practically, the study provides evidence-based guidance for curriculum developers and educators to prioritize industry-relevant, linguistically structured, and pedagogically meaningful learning materials. The findings also support the development of competency-based English curricula that better prepare graduates for communication demands in the global tourism and hospitality workforce.

Reading activities in vocational English classrooms often require students to comprehend texts related to academic study and future professional practice. In such contexts, learners frequently encounter difficulties in understanding written English, particularly when instruction relies on teacher-centred approaches. This research explored the classroom use of Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) in English instruction at Makassar Tourism Polytechnic, with particular attention to how the strategy was implemented and how it was experienced by both lecturers and students. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, involving English lecturers and fifth-semester students who participated in collaborative reading activities. Data were obtained through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and analysis of instructional documents, then examined through thematic interpretation. The results indicate that CSR was applied through structured reading stages that encouraged interaction and shared responsibility among students. Lecturers guided the learning process by facilitating discussion rather than providing direct explanations, while students became more actively involved in negotiating meaning, clarifying vocabulary, and reflecting on text content. Students reported greater confidence and engagement during reading sessions, particularly when working collaboratively with peers. The study concludes that CSR supports a more participatory and supportive reading environment in vocational EFL classrooms and can be considered a practical instructional approach for improving students’ reading experiences in similar educational settings.
