Table 4.1.1 The Result of Needs Analysis Questionnaire for Grade X see App3.1.1
The result shows that most students of grade X had high awareness on the needs to have something relevant with their future career. They were interested in
acquiring four skills of English namely, listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Some topics have attracted their attention, those were: simple daily conversations,
describing things, invitations, and announcement. However, they had less interest in learning recount texts and Narrative texts. The main concept of Competence-

most students had easy access to connect to the internet. They also had audiovideo facilities in schools. However, students had limited access to practice
pronunciation in English laboratory. The result also shows that they knew how to greet people in a simple way, mention their names and addresses, compose simple
present tense, and mention number. Those fundamental aspects would be used as the basis in composing the model.
