Abstract

Teaching foreign languages such as English for Tourism and Hospitality in
Vocational High Schools cannot be separated from the role of the business world
and industry like a Hotel. According to the Indonesian Education Law No. 20/2013, the purpose of Vocational High School itself is to prepare highly skilled workers in certain fields. Vocational education in Indonesia does not only take place in schools but also in companies that aims to provide a workforce with professional skills.
Learning foreign languages for tourism and hospitality sector does not mean only
learning the language, but also work competences. Therefore, teachers must be able to communicate, coordinate and collaborate with the hotel specialists especially the trainers. In the current Industrial Era 4.0, it is certainly familiar for us to take advantage of various online media in the learning process. One of the platforms developed by the German Vocational Education Institute is a so-called Blok. Blok enables the students to carry out an online self-Assessment under the guidance of their supervisors and teachers. Blok greatly facilitate the performance of students, teachers and supervisors because they are flexible in terms of time and place, and foster a sense of responsibility in students for their self-assessment.
