Besides knowing the necessities of the students, we also need to know the lacks of the students. Lacks refer to the gap between what the students already
know and what the students need to know. The target proficiency needs to be matched against the existing proficiency of the students Hutchinson and
Waters, 1987: 56. The following table presents the lacks of the students in learning English.
