Abstract

Vocational High Schools (SMK) implement English for Specific Purposes (ESP) to tailor English learning to students’ professional goals, especially for those entering the workforce. Given the diverse specializations within SMK, English instruction is customized to each major’s needs. A comprehensive needs analysis, including Target Situation Analysis (TSA), Present Situation Analysis (PSA) and Learning Needs Analysis (LNA), assesses students’ English requirements. This study focuses on the specific needs of Culinary Arts students in the ESP program at SMKN 3 Purwokerto, using a mixed-methods research design with data from questionnaires and interviews involving 179 students and 2 English teachers. Findings show most Culinary Arts students aim to work after graduation, with English instruction partially relevant to their field. In the TSA, 98.3% of students learn English to support their careers. In the PSA, 77.1% could write simple sentences, while 87.7% had difficulty in speaking. In the LNA, 83% of students suggested a general need for increased speaking activities in English, particularly on the topic of daily activities. Additionally, 83% of students indicated a need more activities to write sentences in English related to food preparation. 82% of students agreed to more activities to read English texts to understand test and exam questions. 80% students need more activities involving listening to English audio on topics related to the Culinary major, 84% need more English vocabulary related to the Culinary major, and 81% need more English grammar instruction. Furthermore, 75% of students expressed a preference for learning media that use audio-visual aids, and 75% preferred learning models that involve pair work.
