B. Discussion

The researcher inductively discusses the findings in this section by using the theoretical framework presented in chapter II and also employing the careful and mindful interpretation.

1. Fifth grade learners’ needs in learning English at Domby Kid’s Hope 2

The learners at Domby Kid’s Hope 2 have various needs in learning English at Domby Kid’s Hope 2. Because of their economic condition, the learners’ parents could not send their children to a professional English course to support their achievements. Domby Kid’s Hope 2 is the place where they can learn without paying. Based on the findings of this study, the researcher revealed some needs of the learners in learning English at Domby Kid’s Hope 2. The first is their needs to learn through Indirect Learning strategy. Indirect learning here is the learning strategy through playing, singing, guessing, etc. Playing is not an additional activity, but the main activity that the learners need in order to learn something. The children’s instinct for play and fun was stated by Halliwell 1992. According to Halliwell, children have the capacity for finding and making fun. Some evidences of the learners’ needs to learn through playing are: “permainan bisik-bisikan pake Bahasa Inggris A_Vella_24 “belajar sama ada bermainnya A_Friska_65 “bermain bersama A_Dio_152 “Permainan A_Danny_133 “Menyenangkan, bisa main-main A_Devi_29 “Ada permainannya sedikit biar nggak bosen A_Pipit_7 53
