RESEARCH OBJECTIVE ACCOUNTABILITY OF MATERIALS

10 Furthermore, electing EOP to be part of the designed materials is based on the target research’s working background which is wedding organizer. Hutchinson and Waters 1987 state: ESP are divided into two major types, they are English for Academic Purposes EAP and English for work or training EOPEVPVESL: English for Occupational PurposesEnglish for Vocational PurposesVocational English as a Second Language p. 22. Furthermore, ESP brings a real world to the learners in the classroom as ESP materials support learning through any interactive activities based on the learners’ background knowledge Hutchinson Waters, 1987: p. 107; Robinson, 1991: p. 2; Mackay Mountford, 1978: p. 4. As Dudley-Evans and St. John 1998 state that “ESP is defined to meet specific needs of the learners” p. 4. In this research, the learners’ background which brings specific needs is about wedding organization itself. Since the learners are members of wedding organizers, occupational field has been really closed to their lives. They have been through many experiences of organizing wedding previously. Furthermore, considering the use of English in wedding organization, the English that will be utilized in the designed materials will be about both expressions and utterances that the wedding organizers usually deliver or show when they communicate with both local and foreign clients. EOP is a part of ESP, which means that there is further specificity of use of English in ESP. Therefore, kind of English in EOP is more specific to its use in the occupational field. To provide clear explanation about English language teaching branches that makes EOP to be under ESP, the following is the figure of the branches proposed by Hutchinson and Walters 1994. 11 Figure 2.1. The Branches of English Language Teaching Hutchinson and Waters, 1994 From the figure above, it can be seen that English for Wedding Organizers is under English for Occupational Purposes EOP. Therefore, in designing the materials, the English materials will be relatively closed to the condition that the learners deal with. The specific purposes and needs brought by EOP produces specific considerations that are different from English for Academic Purposes EAP that is always met in common school. The considerations are divided into: a situation in EOP, b participant as a resource in an EOP courses, and c materials in EOP.
