Besides distributing questionnaire to the students, interview was done towards two English teachers of SMP N 2 Sidoharjo. Researcher proposed some
question related to the way they teach English and the students’ response to this subject. Teachers said that their students have high motivation in English. Still,
they faced difficulties in delivering the materials because English is not their mother tongue. The main problem that was faced by the students is pronunciation
and vocabulary. Most of the students found difficulties in pronouncing the words, because the way to pronounce is different from writing. Some students also have
the problem to memorize the meaning of the words. In brief, the writer concludes some points of the learners’ characteristics,
based on the result of need survey. Those are: 1. the students are interested in English subject and they are enthusiastic
to learn this language. 2. the students find difficulties in understanding the meaning.
3. the students are quite difficult to deliver their ideas in English. In other words, it means that the students are lack of speaking ability.
4. they also find difficulties in remembering the meaning and how to pronounce the words.
