Abstract: This study aimed to develop and determine the effectiveness of work competency-based English teaching materials for students of hospitality vocational training programs. As an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) program, learning needs analysis (Need Analysis) was a decisive stage in the process of developing teaching materials. In addition to the Need Analysis data, the development of teaching materials also referred to competency units in the Indonesian National Work Competency Standards (SKKNI) for Tourism in the Hotel and Restaurant subsector, the field of English Proficiency and Food and Beverage Services. Teaching materials were developed by adopting the Dick and Carey development model, and studied from two aspects, namely the feasibility aspect of teaching materials and aspects of the effectiveness of the use of teaching materials.
