to match the English syllabus design for Automotive Engineering students of Semen Gresik
Vocational High School with the job market. The syllabus developed is focused on English
reading syllabus which has the highest demand of the students of automotive engineering
department of SMK Semen Gresik. This syllabus is also useful for the teacher to make
specific lesson plans in line with the competencies, to provide learning experience, to
develop teaching English materials, and to design the evaluation content. The syllabus is
developed by using the theory of Steven J. McGriff which is well-known as ADDIE model.
The procedures of this developmental study are conducting need analysis, designing
the syllabus, developing the syllabus by writing proto-syllabus and the pedagogical syllabus,
implementing the syllabus, evaluating and revising the result of the syllabus being validated.

Bahasa Indonesia to explain the activities and materials to avoidmisunderstanding because
the students are too difficult to understand in fully English explanations. based on the
