Kitchen Talk: Developing ESP Materials for Culinary Vocational Students
Abstract
The role of English in vocational high school significantly increases as students require English for their future profession. However, the existing English materials have not addressed students’ needs, particularly culinary students. Therefore, this study aimed to develop supplementary ESP materials for culinary vocational students, emphasizing listening and speaking skills. Adapting the ADDIE model, and focusing on the Development Phase, the researchers developed materials based on the results of needs analysis and aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum. The project-based learning (PjBL) framework was also utilized to arrange the material design that promoted active, collaborative, and contextual learning experiences. Four units with different topics were developed with interesting projects and activities in each unit. Expert validation was conducted with one English lecturer and one English teacher to seek the appropriateness of the developed materials. They evaluated the developed materials based on the BSKAP framework. Several aspects that were checked included content relevance, language clarity, instructional design, and visual presentation. The expert judgment results indicated that the materials were highly effective, with a mean score of 3.61, categorizing them as "very good." Therefore, it implies that the developed ESP materials are possible to use for culinary vocational students, providing real-world learning experiences that align with their professional needs.
