Abstract

Teacher professional development is considered vital to the continuation of teaching improvement so that students' learning outcomes can be optimally achieved. The Covid-19 pandemic that struck the world had tremendously changed not only the teaching and learning process but also increased the opportunities for teacher professional development. Webinars, virtual conferences, and workshops are flourishing so teachers can easily access them with little effort. Despite the joy that the pandemic had brought toward teacher professional development, investigating to what extent the professional development programs have enhanced teachers' development was essential. Hence, this study explored to what extent the professional development activities increased areas of professional development according to Richards & Farrel (2005) i.e., subject-matter knowledge, pedagogical expertise, self-awareness, understanding of learners, understanding of curriculum and materials, and career advancement during the time of crisis. Data were gathered through interviews with six ESP teachers in Yogyakarta higher education institutions. The findings implied the need of teachers' self-evaluation on their professional development activities, especially areas of professional development that were still lacking and needed to be enhanced.

Abstract

In the secondary school setting in Indonesia, English for Special Purposes (ESP) is taught in vocational schools. The competence of the results, however, falls short of what the workplace requires and expects. It suggests that there is a problem with the ESP-based teaching and learning process. This study attempts to find out how students and teachers perceive the ESP course at a vocational high school. 34 respondents in total, including 32 students and 2 English teachers, took part in the survey. Students were given a set of questionnaires with 34 closed-ended questions and 4 open-ended questions to help gain the information. Teachers were also interviewed to better understand their perspectives. The findings show that students' English proficiency is lacking, as indicated by students and teachers. Students are aware of the significance, challenges, and demands they will have in the future with regard to the ESP program. Teachers and students both agree that the focus of English learning materials should be on what employers want in the workplace. Finally, a number of possible problems with the ESP program are raised, including the length of instruction, the nature of the ESP, and the qualifications of the teachers. The findings of this study suggested that a collaborative approach to teaching might be an alternative to the current ESP curriculum in order to partially address the issue.
