4.1.1.1 The Result of the Interview with English Teachers of Sewon
Vocational School 1
Before designing the speaking materials, the researcher had an opportunity to have an interview with the English teachers of Sewon
Vocational School 1 who taught hotel accommodation class grade XI. Based on the interview, the researcher found out that there was no
scheduled time to deliver speaking skill in English lesson. Because of there were no specific book designed for hotel accommodation class moreover for
speaking skill, that is why the teacher put the speaking session in the middle of teaching and learning activity without any reference’s book. The teacher
found difficulties to find the references, and they usually use English book which is intended for vocational school in general. The teacher usually gives
drilling method in presenting new lists of vocabulary and expressions of certain topic to make a dialogue in pair. The students hardly memorize the
vocabulary and the expressions because they have lack of motivation in learning English. Students’ lack motivation of learning English was because
having no interesting references for English lesson moreover for speaking skill.
Another finding in this interview was the fact that the teacher has no specific technique to deliver English speaking lesson. They ever tried to hold
an English day by asking the students to go to Malioboro Street and to find a foreigner and interviewed them. The activity was intended to motivate the
students to be able to speak English. The result of this activity was good, students were able to note some information from the foreigner. Because of
consuming much time and much money for students’ transportation, the
activity was only done once. The teacher realized that English speaking skill is important for hotel accommodation class students due to students’ future
job. In conclusion, the teacher expected a material design which gives
motivation to the students. The teacher needs material which has the ability to provide students a chance to speak in front of people, provide a material
which is suitable to the hotel accommodation major, and facilitate the students to communicate each other in a lively class.
