The participants in the study were two English teachers from a Bekasi vocational school. A semi- structured interview was utilized for data collection. This study found that the learning objective of ECP is to equip students to communicate orally and in writing with clients and other culinary professionals at the A2 or B1 level of English proficiency, within the context of the culinary arts. In addition, the required ECP material should include the following topics: (1) service areas; (2) kitchen utensils; (3) storage room; (4) collaborating as a team; (5) the hazard handling procedure; (6) correspondence activity; (7) le gourmet; (8) ingredients; (9) taking orders.
