Science-Based Individual Competitive Research: Analysis of Jargon Used in the Hotel

Abstract

This study described the final results that was achieved by researchers in qualitative descriptive research which was an effort to identify various jargon used in the hospitality sector, such as Housekeeping, Front Office, Food and Beverage, and HRD in the Lovina Bali. Identification was very much needed because so far, as far as it was observed, the hospitality material books used in various vocational schools throughout Bali have not prepared teaching materials based on the needs analysis used by students learning English for Hotel. Most of the English teaching for the hotel was provided in the form of books that were ready to be sold in bookstores. Teachers had a hard time getting to the specific jargon used in hotels, especially in the important departments that deal directly with guests. Thus, students in colleges who are deployed in hotels have difficulty understanding the jargon used in hotels. To understand it, students need a very long adjustment. Even though, the jargon is definitely needed, however, neither schools nor the hotel industry have provided these jargons to be understood by hotel trainees who are taking job training in hotels throughout Lovina. In this regard, this study aimed at describing a number of jargon needed in hotels and providing a descriptive analysis of the forms and meanings in each of these jargons.
