Abstract

As a lingua franca in the globalized professional community, English language is important to acquire. Unfortunately, previous studies reported that the textbook in Vocational High School (VHS) is non-vocational. Hence, there is a need to create learning materials which provide the language skills for accounting occupation. Applying Critical Genre Analysis framework, this study examined four English for Accounting books and 18 Accounting professional genre analysis articles and revealed the linguistic features and cultural contexts of the communications at accounting professions. It was found that there are four communication events involved in the occupation, i.e., workplace communication, business correspondence, financial statements, and foreign exchange. The suggested mapping of purpose, communication mode, and text patterns of each communication event potentially offer the solution to equip the necessary English language skill at work.
