NEEDS ANALYSIS FOR ENGLISH TEACHING/ CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT IN INDONESIAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS

Risuli Hutauruk

Abstract


Although Indonesian students have learnt English for 6 years when they graduate, there are still many of them who cannot speak the foreign language. One of the important factors which must be taken care of is the syllabus or curriculum of teaching English. The syllabus should be prepared in such a way so that it can match the needs of the students and, in the end, can function well to make students able to speak English when they graduate. A small research has been made to find the target situation analysis, objective needs analysis, subjective needs analysis and present situation analysis (Dudley-Evan & St. John, 1998). The respondents of the research are students from private and government senior high schools. All the respondents belong to Gen Z, who are used to using digital tools and the internet in their daily life. The results show that Gen Z prefers to use digital tools in learning English at school. This study is expected to propose a syllabus design which deploys technology or digital tools in teaching.
