NEED ANALYSIS INSTRUMENT

1. Introduction

The teaching of English in Senior High School is aimed at the mastery of the

four language skills; listening, speaking, reading and writing. One of the four

language skills, students often have difficulty in listening skill. One item of listening

that students must have is the ability to understand audio in English. Listening skill

has not been given proper attention of the teachers in teaching learning English as a

second or foreign language in secondary schools in Indonesia (Suparmin, 1999: 221).

2. Beginning

Given the importance of students' perceptions of learning English, the program

that I created aims to improve listening skills especially for Senior High School in

grade XI.

3. Research Metodology

Here I use a research method in the form of a questionnaire. I made an online

questionnaire using Google Form. The questionnaire was filled out online by 11th

grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Kuala Tungkal. In the questionnaire, there is three

aspects namely Wants, Needs and Lacks.

THE RESULT OF NEEDS ANALYSIS

Disagree 23 4 17,4%

Agree 23 13 65,2%


In this aspect, students want a classroom learning model just by

listening to audio / video and discussing related questions about it. To

make it easier for students to understand, they want the teacher to ask

them to explain again the main idea of the video / audio they have heard.

In class activities, students want them to be able to work in groups and

also individually in understanding audio / video. Students want the

teacher to ask them to look for the meaning of the new vocabulary they

find. Most students agreed with the statement I made in this aspect.

In the aspect of needs, all students agree that learning English is

very useful and listening to audio in English is something that should be

accustomed to. In this aspect, some students stated that they already

understood the listening material applied by the teacher, meaning that

some of their needs had been obtained appropriately in the learning

process so far. Most students like listening learning in the form of

listening english song and listening to the video.

A million people I

Still feel all alone

I just wanna go home

Oh I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you

Each one a line or two

“I’m fine baby, how are you?”

Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough

My words were cold and flat

And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane

Another sunny place

I’m lucky I know

But I wanna go home

Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home

I’m just too far from where you are

I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life

It’s like I just stepped outside

When everything was going right

And I know just why you could not

Come along with me

But this was not your dream

But you always believe in me

Another winter day has come

And gone away

And even Paris and Rome

And I wanna go home

Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by

A million people I

Still feel alone

Oh, let go home

Oh, I miss you, you know
