SYLLABUS OF VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL BASED ON ESP APPROACH
ABSTRACT: This study is
designed as a case study and concerned on qualitative data, which reflected
what actually happened in the area of case study. The Principal, the English
Teachers and Students placed as the key informants. The data gained from the
informants by applying in depth interview, questionnaire, documentation and
observation. The data are analyzed by employing two methods, those are:
descriptive qualitative and descriptive quantitative. There are two problems in
this study that can be seen from two perspectives; syllabus designing and
students’ needs analysis. From the perspectives of syllabus designing, the
problem arise on defining a syllabus typically as the content standart which is
commonly and formally provided by the higher authority (i.e. Ministry of
National Education). In evidence, the existence of UN (Ujian Nasional/National
Examination) makes teachers come into problems. Moreover, from learners’ needs
analysis perspective, teachers define Target Situation Analysis (TSA) mainly as
the content of students’ subject matters of their majors rather than students’
linguistic performance after finishing the course. Furthermore, the teachers
define the Present Situation Analysis (PSA) mainly as students’
strengths/weaknesses in following the English course.
