Teaching English as a foreign language is always difficult. Teaching and learning become considerably more necessary and time-consuming in regions where English serves a very limited purpose especially for vocational high school teachers in the 21st century. This paper aims to investigate how Indonesian vocational high school teachers taught English as a foreign language in their classroom in the 21st -century learning. The information was gathered through interviews with two English vocational high school teachers. Both teachers in practice were found to be developing teachers' creativity in designing learning material and emphasizing technical vocabulary in order to adapt with textbooks, as they believed that students needed 21st century English skills to cope and face future professional career challenges.
