transcripts, the coding sign was given based on different related colors and categories.
2 Analysis of the Data
After analyzing seven interview transcripts using coding sign, three themes were generated. The themes are 1 the requirement of English in the
workplace, 2 integrated English skills with speaking as a major skill, and 3 a communicative approach to learn English.
a Theme 1: The requirement of English in the workplace
English is required related to the way the team members communicate with foreign clients in organizing wedding. The required English skill also covers
its importance starting from the first meeting with the foreign clients, the PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

preparation of the wedding, up to the reception day. All of stakeholders agreed to say that English is significantly important in their workplace. As one of the
stakeholders said: First I dealt with foreign clients, it was through emails. They asked me
about the wedding package that was offered. We communicated in English directly. As in few days they would come to inspect this
location, I am the one who is always in charge to welcome them. On translation; F Ie 18; page 238.
After getting deal with the clients, preparing the wedding comes as the next step. The importance of using English in communicating meanings can be
seen from the preparation of the wedding. As this stakeholder told her experience: When we discuss the decoration, they usually have special request.
If the related vendor misunderstand with clients’ requests, we will
definitely be the bridge of communication. On translation; C Ie 5; page 232.
The use of English will be required more in the D-Day since foreign clients’ family and also guests will get together. The following is another talk with
another stakeholder about the use of English in the D-Day. Every member of our team should master English. As an example,
when the D-Day comes, every member should be ready for any kinds of questions delivered to them at anytime.
“When do we start? What is next? Where do we sit?” Something like that. On
translation; E Ie 34; page 233.
Although it is possible to ask the related foreign clients to ask only the stakeholders who usually already master the language, they are unable to handle
such on-the-spot questions. For those who have less English proficiency will directly ask for help to other team members whose English is proficient. However,
to make the communication effective, mastering English is extremely important, especially for showing their best in the field.
