- Introduction (Pendahuluan)
The introduction discusses the role of vocational students as assets to society who need proper training for specific jobs. It highlights that vocational schools provide practical skills for occupations like technology and healthcare, aiming to prepare students for the workforce. The document points out a major challenge in these schools: the imbalance between English curriculum material and instructional time. With only two hours of English class per week, students' proficiency is hindered. The introduction emphasizes the importance of communicative competence, which is the ability to communicate effectively in a language. Previous studies have identified several obstacles students face in developing this competence, including a lack of practice, limited vocabulary, and a fear of making mistakes. The study aims to investigate the level of students' communicative competence, their needs, and appropriate teaching methods.
- Body (Isi)
This section outlines the research methodology and findings. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with interviews, observation, and document analysis as its instruments. The respondents included 60 students, 3 English teachers, and 2 industry staff members from Garuda Maintenance Facilities (GMF).
The main findings revealed that most students felt the allocated time for English was inadequate and that teachers used traditional teaching methods. The teachers admitted that they did not consistently follow the 2013 curriculum, which they felt did not specifically focus on the needs of the workplace. An industry representative from GMF also confirmed that while graduates possess the necessary technical skills, their English proficiency is still lacking.
Overall, the body highlights a significant gap between what is taught in vocational schools and what the industry requires, along with issues in curriculum implementation and teaching methodology.
- Conclusion (Kesimpulan)
The study concludes that there is a significant gap between the English skills desired by the industry and the actual competencies of Indonesian vocational students. This is attributed to factors like teacher commitment, students' varying competencies, and school facilities. To address this, the study recommends that teachers commit to syllabus development and align their methods with students' needs. It also suggests that schools should recalibrate their English teaching strategies to be more contextualized, job-specific, and skill-oriented. The conclusion emphasizes that by implementing these changes, vocational schools can prepare students to be linguistically equipped for the global workforce.

-Introduction (pendahuluan)
The Introduction of the text highlights the significance of English communicative competence for vocational students who are expected to face global competition in the workplace. It also describes the main problems such as the limited time allocation for English lessons, the lack of teacher commitment, and the misalignment between the curriculum and industry needs. The introduction clearly sets the purpose of the study, which is to investigate the students’ level of competence and their actual needs in learning English.
- Body (isi)
The Body consists of the research method, findings, and discussion. The method section explains that the study used a descriptive qualitative approach involving students, teachers, and industry officers. The findings reveal that students are relatively strong in grammar but weak in vocabulary, phonology, and practical communication. Teachers are often inconsistent in applying the syllabus, mostly rely on traditional methods, and rarely use media. The curriculum, meanwhile, provides general English instead of specific workplace English, which creates a gap between what is taught in schools and what is required in the labor market. The discussion emphasizes that teacher training, more interactive learning, and curriculum alignment are urgently needed.
-Conclusion (kesimpulan)
The Conclusion restates that the communicative competence of vocational students is still far from the expected standard. The causes include teachers’ low commitment, insufficient facilities, and curriculum misfit with industry demands. Therefore, the study recommends that teachers apply the syllabus consistently, implement student-centered approaches, and participate in professional forums to standardize materials. It also suggests regular supervision and curriculum revision to ensure that students are well-prepared to compete in the global workplace.

- Introduction
Vocational schools provide practical training for specific jobs such as technology, healthcare, and engineering. However, English learning in these schools faces challenges due to limited class time, lack of suitable materials, and the need for job-specific communication skills. Communicative competence is essential for vocational students to succeed in the workforce, as it enables them to use English effectively in real-life situations.
Many students struggle with limited vocabulary, fear of making mistakes, lack of motivation, and minimal exposure to authentic materials. This study aims to investigate the level and needs of vocational students’ communicative competence and identify appropriate teaching methods to improve their English skills for future employment.
- Body
The interview results from vocational students in Tangerang reveal that most students are dissatisfied with their English learning experience. A total of 52 students stated that the time allocated for English learning is insufficient, and 55 students said that the learning media used in class is unengaging and monotonous. Additionally, many students felt that learning objectives were not clearly communicated and that teaching methods were not applied effectively.
Interviews with English teachers and industry professionals further explored how to develop students' communicative competence. Teachers confirmed that the school uses the 2013 Curriculum (K13), which is available and serves as a guide for teaching and assessment. The curriculum is considered important because it includes clear objectives, materials, media, methods, and assessment tools. Teachers emphasized the need to use more creative and interactive media to make English learning more interesting and effective for students.
- Conclusion
there is a gap between the expected English skills and the actual abilities of vocational high school students in Indonesia. To overcome this, teachers need to commit to syllabus development, adjust teaching methods to students’ needs, conduct regular supervision, and encourage collaboration to make vocational education quality more consistent and relevant.

1. Introduction
Vocational students as youths have always been regarded as an asset to the social group
by family, tribe or state. All students' programs are not well organized, so they need to be
properly organized and trained for a specific job. Pramesti and Susanto (2023) also mentioned
that Vocational schools itself are educational institutions that provide practical skills and
training for specific occupations such as technology, healthcare, business, and industry. They
seek to provide students with the knowledge and abilities required to enter the workforce after
completing their education, with an emphasis on job-specific skills and career routes. On the
flip side, their job performance relies on having the required manipulative skill, adequate
technical knowledge, and the intelligence to apply that knowledge to the job's challenges

Introduction
The article begins by highlighting the importance of vocational schools as institutions that prepare students with practical and technical skills for various professions such as automotive, engineering, healthcare, and construction. However, it emphasizes that English communicative competence is a crucial skill needed to compete in today’s globalized workforce. The introduction also explains the challenges faced by vocational schools in teaching English, including limited instructional time, lack of practice opportunities, and students’ low motivation. Furthermore, it presents the concept of communicative competence, based on Hughes’ theory, as the ability to use language effectively and appropriately in real-world contexts. The research is positioned as a response to the gap between vocational graduates’ skills and industry demands, with the purpose of assessing students’ level of English communicative competence, their needs, and strategies to improve them.
Body
The body of the article is divided into methodology, findings, and discussion:
1. Methodology
The study used a qualitative descriptive approach involving 60 students, 3 English teachers, and 2 industry officers from Garuda Maintenance Facilities. Data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and syllabus/document analysis.
2. Findings
-Students’ Competence Students showed relatively good understanding of grammar and structure but weaker skills in vocabulary, phonology, and real communication tasks.
-NeedsStudents expressed dissatisfaction with limited learning time, lack of engaging media, and monotonous teaching methods. They requested more practical and industry-related materials.
-Teachers’ PracticesTeachers admitted they often did not fully apply the syllabus and relied on textbooks and lecture methods. They also faced difficulties in managing students and delivering materials effectively.
-Industry Perspective Industry officers considered vocational graduates technically skilled but lacking sufficient English competence, especially in speaking, writing, and understanding technical vocabulary.
3. Discussion
The article interprets these findings as evidence of a misalignment between the curriculum and workplace requirements. It stresses that current English instruction focuses too much on general skills (e.g., writing letters) rather than English for Specific Purposes (ESP). It also notes the lack of innovative teaching methods, weak teacher commitment to the syllabus, and insufficient integration of media and interactive practices. The discussion argues for revising the syllabus to match industry needs, strengthening teacher training, and promoting student-centered approaches.
Conclusion
The conclusion emphasizes that there is a significant gap between the English communicative competence expected from vocational students and their actual abilities. It attributes this gap to limited teacher commitment, inadequate resources, and curriculum misalignment with workplace needs. To address this, the article recommends:
* Teachers’ stronger adherence to and revision of the syllabus based on students’ vocational needs.
* More interactive, student-centered, and media-rich teaching methods.
* Regular supervision and evaluation by school authorities.
* Collaborative efforts such as teacher forums (MGMP) to standardize vocational English syllabi.
Ultimately, the study argues that improving English communicative competence is essential for vocational students’ employability and success in the global job market.

- Introduction
Vocational schools in Indonesia aim to prepare students with practical skills and technical knowledge needed for various professions. However, English language learning in these schools faces challenges, especially because of limited instructional time and curriculum that is not fully aligned with workplace demands. Communicative competence covering speaking, writing, listening, and sociolinguistic skills is crucial for students to be competitive in a globalized workforce. This study, therefore, investigates the level of vocational students’ communicative competence, their needs, and strategies to improve their English skills.
- Body
The research was conducted in a private vocational school in Tangerang with sixty students, three English teachers, and two industry officers as participants. Findings show that students generally have stronger competence in grammar and structure, but weaker skills in vocabulary, phonology, and practical communication. Many students also feel that English learning is monotonous due to traditional teaching methods and minimal use of media. Teachers often do not apply the syllabus consistently, and the 2013 curriculum focuses mostly on general English rather than industry-specific needs. Industry representatives emphasized that while graduates are technically skilled, their English proficiency is insufficient for workplace communication. Thus, the study highlights the need for a more contextualized syllabus, innovative teaching methods, and consistent curriculum implementation to meet vocational demands.
- Conclusion
The study concludes that there is a gap between vocational students’ English communicative competence and industry expectations. To overcome this, teachers must commit to the syllabus, adapt materials to students’ vocational needs, and use interactive methods. School leaders should provide supervision and professional development to ensure consistent quality. By fostering a culture of innovation and aligning teaching with workplace requirements, vocational schools can equip graduates with the communicative competence necessary for success in the global job market.
