“…Despite government textbooks being the primary learning source, the content needs to be more general and more suitable for the specific context of culinary arts education. Teachers may need to look for other learning resources, such as the internet and specific culinary books, to ensure the learning content's relevance to the student's background and needs (Asih & Alief, 2022;Mahendra, 2020;Tunaz & Ataç, 2023;Yang & Wyatt, 2021;Yemelyanova et al, 2022).…”

Teaching English within the culinary arts is challenging for many instructors. The field of culinary arts has its specialized terminology and distinct context, which sets it apart from general English teaching. In light of this, the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) program was introduced. ESP is designed to align English instruction with the specific needs of students in culinary studies, ensuring they are prepared academically and for their future roles in the industry. This research examines the effectiveness of student conferences in teaching descriptive texts, an essential aspect of culinary studies. Data collection involved interviews, classroom observations, and document reviews. The results were encouraging: student conferences emerged as a potent tool, leading to significant improvements in students' writing and comprehension abilities. When combined with the ESP approach, there was a notable increase in student motivation and engagement. These findings offer educators enhanced strategies for specialized English teaching in the culinary arts. Moreover, this study serves as a stepping stone for further research, aiming to refine English instruction in specialized domains.

“…Moreover, being new or avant-garde does not guarantee immediate success. Therefore, the stance of EFL and ESL teacher's stance should not be biased; instead, they should focus on identifying the advantages that different methods and techniques offer (Armut, 2020;Hao, 2017;Tunaz, 2023).…”

Situational Language Teaching (SLT) is well-known for its practical applications in second language teaching and learning, as it emphasizes the use of real-life situations and contexts. SLT has significantly influenced learners’ language skills since its inception. The need to analyze the implementation of SLT in the EFL classroom, arises with the need to examine the pedagogical methods and techniques used by teachers in SLT to foster English language skills, as well as students’ motivation to learn. This semi-systematic review examined four databases to provide an overview of the theoretical underpinnings of SLT and current studies with different methodologies, participants, and the efficacy of SLT in the development of EFL learners’ language skills, motivation and learning styles. The review provides an updated overview on SLT and its influence on the development of language skills of EFL learners.

“…Needs analysis (NA) is critical for developing instructional materials for ESP and integrating an evidence-based nursing practice (ENP) curriculum into nursing colleges is a high priority (Showail, 2018). However, the curriculum frequently fails to address students' linguistic needs, limiting their academic success (Tunac & Atac's, 2023). Effective communication necessitates input and output methods and proficiency in English is required for business purposes, particularly in international tourism (Garcia-Sanchez, 2023; Choomthong, 2023).…”

This study explores the contextualization of the general education course for collegiate-level students in the Philippines. Purposive Communication is a 3-unit course that is mandatory for English and is intended to improve student's abilities to communicate effectively in speaking, writing, and presenting to diverse audiences in both local and global settings. The macro skills are replicated in a sophisticated academic environment through digital technology. The program offers activities that help students acquire and display communication strategies for academic, professional, and other objectives. These strategies are guided by the standards of effectiveness and appropriate language usage. The study utilized the Grounded Theory Method, a qualitative research approach developed by Kathleen M. Eisenhardt. A total of 10 informants were used to retrieve responses from the selected fields of disciplines as a jumpstart for designing the syllabus and instructional materials for specific professional educational programs. Six emergent themes shape the contextualization of the Purposive Communication course: developing confidence and competence in communication skills, articulating verbal and non-verbal for effective communication, integrating positive leadership characteristics, developing communication skills related to work, OBE-inspired teaching-learning process, and developing global skills for the 21st-century workplace. This study also presented a sample model for designing instructional material intended for a particular discipline and a modified portion of an actual syllabus of a Purposive Communication course highlighting communication for occupational purposes. The author recommended contextualizing this English course by suggesting to authors, curriculum designers, and educators to view the themes identified in this study as valuable references for designing educational materials and curricula. Furthermore, future research should focus on a single field of study to provide a more precise contextualization of the discipline, and the scarcity of books in local bookstores in the Philippines should serve as motivation to create customized Purposive Communication materials.
