The Use of the ASRI Method in Teaching English for Hospitality

The objective of this research was to introduce an innovation in the teaching of ESP in the hospitality context. This work was based on research and development and consisted of three stages, namely the determination of the problem stage, the design stage, and the development stage. The research used a mixed-methods approach. At the preliminary stage, verbal data were classified and analyzed qualitatively. At the design stage, the results of the analysis were applied to a design called ASRI. The ASRI method was implemented in a tourism school using an experimental group and a control group. At the development stage, the learning outcomes of the two groups were compared and analyzed quantitatively. The results of the t-test showed that the experimental group's achievement was significantly greater. Thus, the ASRI method was proven to be effective in improving the speaking skills of students in the hospitality field.
