INTRODUCTION

The special province in Indonesia, Yogyakarta, is very famous and well-known as tourism place which is as a magnetic for many domestic tourists even foreigners .Because Yogyakarta offers many kind of wonderful places and heritage culture such as Indrayanti beach, Monjali, Kraton, Malioboro and so on. Because of it, Yogyakarta is known as heaven city, a complete one. Therefore many entrepreneurs harness this golden opportunity to be their great business including the company where I work now, a fragrant company. The company has many branches in and outside of Yogyakarta. At Yogyakarta, it has five branches for reseller and one office for grocer. Besides many other competitors’ shops are established spread overall Yogyakarta, developing employees’ skills are needed especially for offering the products to foreigners. By this case, it will attract more visitors because the visitors come from all over the world.

But, the biggest matter that is faced by the companies is that their employees have to deal with English. Most of the employees are not able to speak English. Their education backgrounds are mostly from Senior High School. Therefore, they find difficulty to explain some procedures or some products in English.

Based on the facts, I would like create a book that will answer their need. It is a simple book, but I really believe that this book will help them to improve their ability to speak English. It contains particular topic related to tourism especially product marketing, trading, etc.

METHODOLOGY

Methodology that I use to design this English for Specific Purpose course is by spreading questionnaires to the employees of Adisyah Putra Rasa Abadi Company. The first time I contacted some employees in the office for helping me in giving data on my questioners then the following afternoon I took them. For other employees, I came to the branches which is for retail one, I gave some questioners till I got ten questioner answered. Those questioners helped me to do the following step.

From the problems that the employees face, about their motivation, their difficulties till methods in their learning style, then I make a design for the syllabus.

TEORITICAL REVIEW

ESP is English for special purposes that are learned by some people whose first language is not English (Oxford). ESP students here, at Adisyah Putra Rasa Abadi Company, are different in age, knowledge or skills’ of English. They learn English to support their job in certain fields. For example English for Tourism, English for Business, etc.

The examples in English for Tourism are deal with trading, export, and import. Trading is the activity of buying and selling things (Oxford). Also, it deals with how to serve costumers well, offering product etc.

To make this module become perfect for the learners, I design the course by creating the syllabus, preparing the material based on some sources. I do the need analysis, adopted some methodology of teaching, and use some learning theories.

The theories are taken from various references, such as:

Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary,8th edition, Oxford University Press.

Teaching method from https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Teaching_method

150 Teaching Methods from http://teaching.uncc.edu/learning-resources/articles-books/best-practice/instructional-methods/150-teaching-methods

Learning Theories, from http://www.instructionaldesign.org/theories/

Learning theory (education), from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_theory_%28education%29

DISCUSSION

The Employees from Adisyah Putra Rasa Abadi Company really need English to support their work, because they have to face customers from other country (foreign people). They need English for conversation, including offering things till administration.

Most of them are interesting in this English course. Although, they are a quite different in age moreover abilities but by their motivation in joining this course, I hope it can be a source of power in learning process.

The company expects that the employees will have a good global communication for serving the customers who are from abroad. The conversation takes a part in the retail shops, but it is possible that will happen in office place, the grocer one.

Related to the schedule which the learners want, they want to have courses four times a week and 1-2 hours in a meeting but I consider again that they work in a shift, 8 hours. It is based on questioner number 8 and 9. Then, I decided to have twice meeting in a week for first level, one month. Those are on Saturday morning and Tuesday evening.. Considering that they have to work and others, in their free time, the best duration that they need around 60 minute for each meeting. Even though, the result is that mostly from 10 candidates/students want four times a week and around 1-2 for the duration but I analyze and consider from their working time that twice a week and 60 minute for the duration really suit with their time and need.

They really like vocabulary and want to develop their speaking skill. Therefore, most of the courses will deal with vocabulary and speaking course. Those are based on questioner number 6 and 7. Because they do not like much lecturing or tasks, So Much practicing, games and few lecturing are the suitable method for them. The Idiom or daily expression for the vocabulary course will cover about greeting, introduction and thanks, numeral and speaking course will cover how to sell, how to promote and offer. Those are based on questioner number 10 and 11.

About tasks which are given, they can do cooperatively, self-task or group task. It is based on questioner number 13.

CONCLUSION

From the discussion above, I can conclude that English for the employees of Adisyah Putra Rasa Abadi Company is a must. English is needed to support their job and also to give good appearance for the company. Good service from the workers will have great impact to the income of the company.
