A. Research Findings

1. The Result of the Needs Analysis

A needs analysis was conducted as the first step of this research to find out the target and learning needs of the students. The needs analysis was conducted on 14 th February 2015. It was done by distributing questionnaires to the students of VII B at SMPN 6 Yogyakarta in the academic year 20142015. The questionnaires were in the form of multiple choice questions. The students were allowed to choose more than one answer or write down their own answers. The two highest percentages were considered as the representation of students’ needs. The results of the needs analysis are explained as follows.

a. The Personal Identity of the Respondents

In the needs analysis questionnaire, the students were asked to write down their personal identity which are about their names, ages and sex. Table 9: Data of Respondents in Needs Analysis Stage Group of Respondents Age Sex 11 12 13 Male Female Students of VII B 1 14 17 12 20 Based on the data above, there were 32 respondents who filled in the needs analysis questionnaire. They were all the students of VII B at SMPN 6 Yogyakarta

b. Target Needs

A target need is learners’ view about the target situation Hutchinson and Waters, 1987. The analysis of target needs is subcategorized into three parts, which are necessities, lacks and wants. 1 Necessities According to Hutchinson and Waters 1987, what is called as ‘necessities’ is types of need determined by the demands of the target situations, that is, what the learner has to know in order to function effectively in the target situation. Table 9 shows the students’ view about the target goals.

In other words, it can be stated that lacks are discrepancies between necessity and what the learner already knows . Table 11 presents the students’ views about their lacks.
