There were 24 students in the fifth grade. Those consisted of 13 boys and 11 girls. Their age varied from 10 to 11 years old and they came from different social
backgrounds. Their parents worked as teachers, employees, entrepreneurs, polices, and merchants.
After doing an observation, the researcher found that the students‟ English abilities were varied. Their proficiency level ranged from high to low. Few
students paid attention to the lesson, understood the delivered materials well, and were able to answer questions given by the teacher. Some of them were very quiet
in the class and only smiled when they were asked by the teacher, and the others were being busy playing around. Because there were more boys than girls in the
class, the class was very noisy. Most of the boys were very talkative. Meanwhile, the girls did not talk too much.
Moreover, the students‟ characteristics were also found. First, the students got bored easily. The students did not really pay attention to the teacher when she
only talked about the materials. They did things which distracted them from the teaching and learning activity. Second, they could not sit on their own. The
students liked to move around the class.

By distributing questionnaires to the fifth grade students and conducting an interview with the English teacher of SD IT Insan Cendekia, the data about the
students‟ needs were gained and were analyzed. The results are discussed below.
