INTRODUCTION

A. The Important of English


Talking about english briefly, now it has become one of the largest, the most famous
and the most important language around the world for decades backward. Many people
realize that english is the most common language in the world till now. Even though english
is mostly used in British and America but nowadays almost every nation has english speakers.
Many countries have english as thier either main language, second language, or foreign
language. According to the Ethnologue.com the English language is the third largest in the
world after Chinese and Spanish. However, it is spoken in 112 countries by 328 million
speakers.

It is very important for us if we master english well especially for our future since in
every single part of our daily activities tend to use english as the main language and
messenger. Now we can see even the usage of english are equal both in the city and the border
district of a region. There are many benefits for us if we master english. First of all, people
who master english will get job opportunities more than those who dont. Then, mastering
english make us easier to travel to all countries. Since it is easy as well to find english
speakers in each part of place we visit, either in the maountain area, beach area, medical, bus
station, or in traditional markets, even. Especially, In the educational part, english help the
learners to understand easier and do research on another courses to be more understandable.

Many schools in the world use english as one of their main subject. Even in Indonesia,
english is determined as students passing in national examination. Moroever, in many
universities, english cannot be separeted as the main course since it touches every inch of
college sector. However, english is used not only in communication orally, but also used in
written part. We can find many books and research material are conveyed in english.
Furthermore, for those who want to study abroad, english is the main bridge to reach it. Many
institutions use test as the way to get new students and workers. Here, the use of TOEFL and
IELTS score test are very needed.
In conclussion, the demand of english is more increase in line with the increase of
either science, technology, or even economy. All of these sectors need english to be deal with.
People who master english well will have a very big opportunity to gain their dreams and
jobs moreover also gain ease in transaction and communication in their daily life.

B. The role of ESP Approach in ELT


In ELT (English Language Teaching), the position of english in teaching is very
crucial. Crucial here means that the success in teaching english is really depending on what
ways used by teachers are. Clearly, to know students needs, we, of course, should conduct
the need analysis activity first. By conducting the need analysis we can know what the
students need most, who the students are exactly, and why they need to learn the specific
english. As mentioned above that in need analysis must be inserted by three main aspects that
exist in target needs, that are:
a. Students lacks
To identify students lack, we need to know what the learners know already, so that we
can decide what the learners lacks (I Made Sujana, 2003). This point can be called as
the starting point/present situation, since we can know how far students ability is in
this point.
b. Students wants
In here, is dealing with what would learners like to gain from the language course
personally.
c. Students necessities
Necessities is the type of need determined by the demands of the target situation; that
is what the learner has to know in order to function effectively in the target situation
( I Made Sujana, 2003)

C. Method in Doing Needs Analysis

In conducting needs analysis, mostly, i try to use procedures like having an interview,
and then try to analize the available information, since my target group here is a bunch of
students in SMAN 1 LABUAPI, specifically the XI (eleven) class, it is quite easier to be
conducted by having interview than just doing another methods and the informant is Abdul
Roni, an English student of Mataram University that is having PPL program in there.
However, i quote also from some articles and pdf form files takenfrom the internet in order to
support my report. Then, I combine all of those sources that i have collected then take some
quotations needed only then connect them with my own understanding.

ANALYSIS

A. SCHOOLS FROFIL
Schhols Name : SMAN 1 LABUAPI
Address : Jln. Gunung Pengsong
Subdistrict : Labuapi
District : Lombok Barat
Province : Nusa Tenggara Barat
No. Telp :
Schhol status : Terakraditasi
Student total : 251 students
Classroom total : 13 classrooms
Teacher total : 13 teachers
Head master : Drs. Maryadi, M.M.

B. METHOD
The researcher is conducting the analysis of students needs in english instruction by
using interview in which the informant is Abdul Roni, an english student of FKIP UNRAM
who is having PPL program in there, so that the reseracher can explore the information from
university student persfective as a teachers successor in the classroom.

C. MAIN DISCUSSION

SMAN 1 LABUAPI is one of the favorite public school in the village level and sub-
district level. The school under the auspices of the Ministry of Education is still implementing
the KTSP-based education system. The location of the school is strategic enough to make
many students studying in there. It is evidenced by the number of students who counted a lot,
which is about 251 students who are divided into 3 levels of class. In this analysis, the
researcher takes a class that is XI class as a sample target of need analysis (NA) according to
the class taught by the university student as the teacher.
There are several questions that the researcher proposes, all of them are related to the
process or condition of English teaching process. Here's a list of questions that the researcher
asks toward the informant:

No Questions Answer
1 Among speaking, listening, Among all these skills, some students do not like
writing, and reading them. Some, more prominent in speaking activity,

2 Among those four skills, which The skills that we like apply the most is speaking

4. Are the english teachers in here Most of english teachers here in applying the

Ceramah method.
5 Are the teachers actively attend Most of teachers here are seldom attend the class.

6 Do the theachers have a text The teachers are rarely using a text book handout as

as a media.

fluently? some basic words and expressions commonly
used .So just to speak, theyare far from good.

13 Is grammar also intensively Grammar is usually inserted during the learning


taught ? activity , especially about Tenses.

D. ISSUES

Based on the results of the interview attached above, the researcher in this case assumes
that the process of English leaarning does not work properly as it should happen. It certainly
also contribute to the ability of English language students of XI class that is far from the good
quality. Whereas the related school is a favorite school that at least the students ability of
foreign language are quite well like some schools in the city. The location and the school
environment are quite supportive should also espouse the teaching and learning activities.

From the data obtained, students are getting difficult in understanding a word in reading
text. This is exacerbated by the students' low desire to memorize vocabulary. Thus, students
seem to regard English as a difficult subject to learn, even if it is supported by an high quality
school. The lack of teachers creativity is also suspected as the triggering the lack of students
interest and ability. Teachers are more likely to obey the wishes of the students, rather than
teaching what material should be taught in the lesson plan. For example, when teachers bring
LCD device and laptops to classrooms, students will be interested to watch a video that has
nothing to do with the subject matter, and that happens almost before the lesson begins. So we
can imagine how much time and energy is spent on things that are not beneficial to students.

Actually there are many methods and teaching media that can be used by teachers in
teaching English, but the lack of innovation will make students interest is also never
developed. So ultimately the teacher uses only one ordinary method in teaching, the
conventional method that does not give a significant effect on the interests of students. The
less grammar learning mastery and more on reading comprehension than communication
competence makes student communication ability is very less and far from excellent. Whereas
in learning English there are several factors in mastering English language skills, such as;
reading (to read), writing (to write), speaking (to speak), and listening (to listen), these four
factors are highly related each other and can not be separated one another as well.

The class condition during the lessons also affects both the quality and the quantity of the
student output itself. This is suspected because the motivation and interest in student learning
is highly less of English. However, it is inversely proportional to the attendance rate of
students in any meeting that is sufficiently disciplined to attend the class. Yet, the score of the
given task does not meet the Minimum Passing Criteria (KKM) which on average 50% of
students are remedial.

E. SOLUTIONS

After knowing the problem by analyzing the existing data then needed the right alternative
solution to make continuity of process of good eanglish teaching. Here are some solutions or
suggestions that can be given for the problem above:

a. In this case is the solution about the availability of teaching materials facilities such
as modules and books are less. Facility is a means and infrastructure that serves to
smoothen or facilitate the implementation process in this case which is focused on
the teaching materials of the module. The module is a proponent component in a
stand-alone system, in the world of education includes the activities of teaching and
learning program that includes planning purposes will be achieved, the provision of
learning materials, tools needed and tools to assess and measure students' success in
mastering the lessons students can learn with their teachers helps. So that we can
conclude the teaching module is a lesson material created for the students through a
systematic preparation in writing with the order in such a way that students as
readers can get the knowledge and materials are taught independently (Supriyatno,
2006).
b. In addition, the creativity of teachers in creating learning conditions to be not
passive must also be addressed. Students will be more interested if the taught
material is delivered in an interesting way too. At least every meeting, teachers
should use unusual teaching methods but not difficult for students.
c. Emphasizing on 'vocabulary building'. Of course everyone knows that if we want to
master English, the main thing that we have to do is mastering the vocabulary as
much as possible. Hence, teachers should provide vocabulary with regard to what
the student needs. Because it will facilitate students in applying the word that has
been known both in classroom activities and outside of the classroom.
d. Using Role Play teaching techniques. So in every meeting, students are asked to
talk to their classmates by using English of course. It does not matter how bad the
quality of students speaking is, as long as it's understandable by other students. By
that way, students will be familiar with English and will not regard English as
difficult language.
CHAPTER III

CONCLUSION

In teaching English, it is important to deal with those four skills, whether speaking,
writting, reading, and listening can be taught well. So that it will give the output as both
teachers and students expected. All of those things are very less found in XI class (eleven
class) SMAN 1 LABUAPI in which in fact is a favorite school. By this analysis, the expected
needs, and desires of students can be met, of course, with such solutions above.
