The primary goal of teaching English at vocational schools is to provide students with the ability to master basic English knowledge and skills that will support the attainment of skill program competencies and to apply the mastery of English ability and skills in oral and written communication in the intermediate level (PerMenDiknas no 22 2006). The learning and teaching of English at SMK Negeri 3 Malang especially at Beauty Skill Program is considered unsatisfactory. The main problem is that there is not any appropriate supporting English instructional material for students especially for the students who take Beauty skill program. The existing materials do not match with the characteristics and the needs of the students. Concerning the problem above a set of suitable supporting instructional materials for the students of Beauty Skill Program of SMK Negeri 3 Malang needs to be developed. The procedures employed in this study are doing needs analysis developing the materials conducting expert validation revising the materials trying out the materials and revising the materials. In doing needs analysis questionnaires are distributed to the students and the English teacher while expert validation is done by giving questionnaire to the expert. Questionnaires are also given to the students and the teacher after the materials are tried out. The data from the result of the needs analysis shows that most of the students need English instructional materials that are relevant to their major content subject Beauty Skill Program. Meanwhile the data gathered from expert validation indicates that there are some good and weak points of the developed materials which need to be revised. From the try-out of the developed materials in the first year students of Beauty Skill Program of SMK Negeri 3 Malang the data that shows the effectiveness of the developed materials in helping the students to achieve the mastery of the language skills can be collected. This is reflected from the data taken from the observation showing that students are actively involved in the learning and teaching process for some reasons. The first is that the topics being discussed are interesting and related to their major content subject. Besides the tasks the students have to do can activate their knowledge of the topics as well as their language skills. Finally the language they have to use in discussing the topics is at the right level of the students. Based on the result of the try-out some revisions are made in order that the materials become better and they can finally match the needs of the students. To sum up the success in using the developed materials as shown in the try-out should be continued by other English teachers the school/institution material developers and other researchers. The English teachers can make use the develop materials as an alternative source of materials. The developed materials should be socialized to other English teachers of SMK Negeri 3 Malang and to English teachers group (Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran/MGMP) of Vocational Schools in Malang. In addition the school in this case school principal can facilitate the teacher to publish the developed materials to the internal use. For materials developers the result of this study can be used as a model to develop the other materials by considering the students context. Meanwhile for researchers who are interested in English instruction and want to do the same study can use the result of this study as reference for further study. Since this study only focused on one school the future researcher is suggested to do the study in a wider range. For example he or she can do the study in some other Vocational High Schools majoring tourism in Malang. As a result it is expected that the result of the study can be used not only at SMK Negeri 3 Malang but also at the other Vocational High Schools either state or private schools. Besides she can do study for the second and the third year students and adjust the level of difficulty and complexity of the language as well as the activities covered in materials. Finally it is suggested to do a site observation in students workplace to give accurate and valid data about the needs in the target situation.
