Abstract

Resources designed explicitly for English for Specific Purposes (ESP) classes can significantly aid in achieving learning objectives and help students acquire targeted skills. This research aimed to analyze the need of teaching English for 110th-grade of Vocational High School students majoring in software engineering in Karawang. Applying the case study, the data on students’ needs were gathered through a semi-close-ended questionnaire and interview. The results found that Software Engineering students mostly need vocabulary mastery as well as listening and speaking skills. English is an important student’s skill to support them in communicating with foreigners in the workplace. Besides that, the learning materials were found not relevant to software engineering student’s English needs. Therefore, the teachers should add supplementary materials related to software engineering.
