CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
English Specific Purpose first appeared in 1960, emerged from the need for
communication in English mainly on the field of trade, science, technology, etc. (Swales,
1988). English for Specific Purpose (ESP) is a branch of the English Foreign Language
(EFL). English Specific Purpose (ESP) refers to research or teaching that focuses on student
communication needs. English Specific Purpose (ESP) is a language teaching approach that
aims to meet certain learning needs (Tom Hutchinton., & Waters., 1987). According to
(Dudley Evans, Maghie Jhon., 1998) that the foundation of the English for Specific Purposes
(ESP) is a very simple question "Why do learners need to learn a foreign language?" The
answers to these questions will relate to the required language and learning context, and will
also establish a need in the ESP (English Specific Purpose).
At Vocational High School, English has the function of preparing students to enter the
the world of work related to the majors they have taken. In Indonesia, after students graduate
from Junior High School, they can choose to continue to high school or vocational high
school. In the report of Databoks in 2017/2018, there was 13,710 Vocational high school in
Indonesia which have a various major.
SMK Taruna Jaya is one of the Vocational high schools in Gresik, which has existed
since 52 years ago and currently there are 3 majors, accounting, marketing, and office
administration. There are three English teachers in SMK Taruna Jaya, however, the three
teachers do not teach different majors, but rather teach each level. The teaching book they use
is the same as the teaching book used by teachers in high school, English For General (EFG).
It is unfair to students in vocational high school, because of their learning need is to prepare
to enter the world of work. Their English needs and interests differ from those of high school
students. Hutchinson., T., & Waters (1987), argue that learners have different needs and
interests, which will influence their motivation to learn and the effectiveness of their learning.
Office administration is one of the departement in SMK Taruna Jaya, A major that
prepares students to work in offices, or to become secretaries. The teacher should design an
appropriate syllabus for office administration, based on the needs of the Students' office
administration. It aims to prepare learners to be ready to work in the company, usually called
a target situation, which is a situation where students will use the language they have learned.
Therefore, to design an ESP course, the teacher first identifies the target situation. After
identifying the target situation, then proceed with a rigorous analysis of the linguistic features
of the situation. The features that have been identified will form the syllabus of the ESP
course. The Process is usually known as Need Analysis (Tom Hutchinson & Alan Waters.,
1987).
1
In Indonesia, there has been a lot of previous research to find Need Analysis on
Vocational High School students. Verenita et. Al (2017) under the title "English for
Agriculture Vocational Students: A need Analysis Study at SMK Negeri 2 South Bengkulu"
The study found that Reading and Speaking is the most important skill for students of the
Agriculture program. The next journal came from Fatmawati (2017) titled "Need Analysis in
English for a specific purpose at vocational school: a descriptive research at the eleventh
grade students of marketing major of SMK Negeri1 Demak in the academic year of
2016/2017" the study found that students in the marketing department wanted to learn
English because they wanted to be able to communicate using English in their Marketing
activities and chose Speaking skills as a very important skill to learn. Next from Lestari
(2018) titled "The Need Analysis of English material on Hotel Hospitality students at SMKN
1 Bojonegoro" The study found that students in the Department of Hotel and Hospitality
needed speaking and listening and they needed to learn special vocabulary related to their
majors. Amiruddin (2018) titled "A Need analysis on English materials for computer and
network engineering students at SMKN 2 Makassar" Found that students in computer and
network engineering are in need of speaking and listening to build good communication that
will help them in the workforce, and they also need writing skills to make good reports when
they are in the workforce. Last article coming from, Mentari (2019) "A Need Analysis of ESP
for Office Administration Program at SMK Negeri 2 Purworejo in the Academic Year of
2018/2019" Research finds what materials should be contained in Office Administration
books. The research conducted by Mentari (2019) about Need Analysis for office
administration, is judged to be less satisfactory because only focus of finding the material
that should be contained in the Book for Office administration, there is no target situation
Analysis, no learning Need Analysis, etc. The Instrument used is quistionaire, and within the
questionnaire given by Mentari contains only 16 skills that must be strengthened by the
students of office administration, and only 2 answer options are agree or strongly agree. In
short, the previous article authors do not do the Analysis Target Need, and Analysis Learning
Need, that is why in questionnaire contains only 16 skills that must be strengthened by the
students administrative Office unknown from which the author found 16 skills.
Based on the problems and some previous research above, researchers believe that
looking for the need to study at the Students of office administration in SMK Taruna Jaya is
also very important to do. The result of this research can be used to give suggestions to SMK
Taruna Jaya to be able to design specific English Material for Office Administration.
What are the learning needs in English Specific Purposes of the eleventh and twelfth grade
Office Administration Department?
The purpose of this study is to find out the learning needs of the eleventh and twelfth-grade
students at Office Administration.
2
1.4 Limitation of The Study
To make this reasearch can be more focused and profound, the author limits this
research to seek only Need Analysis in English language learning for Office Administration.
There are some key which is necessary to make this discussion more obvious.
Namely, English Specific Purpose, Need Analysis and Office Administration major. English
Specific Purpose (ESP) refers to research or teaching that focuses on student communication
needs. Need Analaysis is the process of seeking the learning needs of students who consider 2
(two) needs, i.e. Target Need and Learning Need. Office Administration Majors, is one of the
majors in Vocational High School which has the main objective to establish a student to be
able to become an administrative staff at the office or secretary.

CHAPTER II
This chapter dicusses literatures related to this research, those are origin of ESP,
Definition of ESP, and Need Analysis.
The end of the World War in 1945, has marked a new era. In the event of an
expansion that makes the world unified because it is dominated by 2 (two)
strengths, namely technology and commerce. In their relentless progress they
received many requests to immediately set the international language. Since the
United State hasi held the world economic power, the International language
option has fallen on the English language.
Since the English language has become a lingua franca, many people want to
learn English because English is the key to entering the International world. For
that reason it was born a generation of new learners who were conscious and
knew specifically why he had to learn English.
b. Revolution In Lingustic.
In the first, the purpose of linguistics was to describe the English grammar
rules. However, a new study paid attention to the way English can be used in real
communication (Widdowson,1978; Tom Hutchinson, A waters 1987). In that
research, Tom Hutchinson and Waters found that the language we use to speak
and write varies greatly, and the context of language use varies from one context
to another.In English Language Teaching, it appears that the English language for
commerce, is different from English for engineering. This idea grows naturally
along with the development of English courses for specific groups of learners.
If the language differs from one situation to another. Then it should be able to
find and determine the features of a particular situation and then be used as the
basic features for the student's course.

c. Focus on the Learner.
Ken Hyland (2007) English Specific Purposes (ESP) refers to the study that
focuses on specific communication needs and the practice of socializing within a
particular group. Diane D. Balcher (2004) Defining English Specific Purpose is one
way to give students access to use the language they want and need to achieve their
academic goals or the jobs they want in the future. Laurence – Anthony (2018)
English Specific Purposes (ESP) is an approach to language teaching that targets
academic needs or the future work of learners focused on the necessary language,
genres, and skills to address needs through the use of General or Specific teaching
5
materials and methods. From several definitions of these experts, the definition of
English Specific Purpose can be concluded, which is a method of teaching a language
that is focused on the needs of the students ' communication.
A. Analysis Target Situation: is a process to identify the tasks, activities, and skills of
learners who are aiming to know the use of English for what purpose.
B. Discourse Analysis.
C. Present Situation Analysis: Identify what learners already know, and what is
unknown, what the learners can and can't do. This Analysis is as demanding as the
demands of the target situation.
D. Learner Factor Analysis: Identifying student factors, such as their learning
motivation, how they learn, and how they are perceptual about their needs.
E. Teaching Context Analysis.
Tom Hutchinson and Waters (1987) Divide 2 ways for Need Analysis,
namely:
6
A. Necessities , The type of needs determined by the demands of the target
situation. For example: Bussinessman needs English to understand business
letters, to communicate properly and effectively during promotional
conferences.
B. Lacks, Looking to know what students are already aware of and who are not
yet known.
C. Wants, is derived from the subjective needs of learners. Wants means that
students need to know what they want to learn. If learners know what they
want, they will make an effort to accomplish what they want.
2. Learner Needs.
Defined as a way to think about what route can be taken to learn English for their
specific purpose
From some explanation above can be concluded that Target Need and also
Learning Need is the component that must be in the instrument to analyze the needs
of students
A. Administration.
The use of administrative terms has been widely used in Indonesia. Almost
every day when we open newspapers, especially the column about job openings, there
is a lot of labor demand as an Adimisnistrasi or secretary staff (Sheedy N. 2008).Most
of the literature uses office administration and office management to refer to the
administration, in fact its position has the same meaning even though the
administration is more widely used for the country, while management is more related
to the company (Haryadi, 2009).
Then what exactly does the word administration own?. The word
administration comes from the Dutch language, which is the meaning of '
Administratie '; Records, correspondence, lightweight bookkeeping, typing, and so on
in the conduct of business (Suwarno Handayaningrat, 1988).The administration is the
preparation and recording of data and information systems with the intention to
provide information and make it easier to regain it if needed. Data and information
that is related to the activity of the organization, either for internal or external interests
(Halima, 2018). Administration, in fact, is the job of handling information (Prajudi
A,1980). Planning, controlling, and organizing office work, as well as the
mobilization of those that do so to achieve the objectives that have been established
(George R.T, 1982). But according to The Liang Gie (1980), The administration is a
whole series of structuring activities to the basic work undertaken by a group of
people in achieving a specific goal. The administration is the whole of the process of
working two or more persons that are based off certain rationality to achieve a pre-
defined goal (Sondang, 2002).
7
From some of the above definitions can be concluded that the definition of
administration in the divide into 2 (two) meanings, namely; In a narrow sense, the
administration is the drafting and recording of data and information for the purpose of
providing information to the needy, and to facilitate the re-enquiry when it is needed
again. And in the broad sense, the administration is a cooperation activity that is done
by two or more people based on the division of work that has been determined.
From the definition of the experts above can be concluded that the office
administration is a series of activities to plan, organize, direct, supervise, and
control to organize the work in order in the office to achieve the purpose of the
organization.
8
There are several roles and functions of office administration that have
been submitted by Diah Wijayanti 2018, namely:
The first research came from Mazdayasna & M.H Tahririan (2008). The journal was
entitled Developing a profile of the ESP needs of Iranian students: The case of students of
nursing and midwifery. The research shows that most students feel that they need and want to
master appropriate English before they get their special course, and most students report that
they need to read reading journals in Persian and English while studying subjects, this
research also shows that that students have a clear perception of their language requirements
for academic studies and also their future careers according to the major they have taken.
The second research came from, Dehnad, Bagherzadeh r, Shoaleh Bigdeli, Hosseini F
(2010) entitled Syllabus revision: a needs analysis Study. From this study it was found that
Writing Skill (89%) was the main need they chose, followed by Reading (60.7 %), Speaking
(58.9%), Listening (40.7%). In reading skills research, it is known that their need is to read
journals and textbooks in their field of study. In Listening research, the student's need is to
learn listening skills to participate in class. The results of writing skills research, the student's
9
need is that they want to write a paper to be published in an international journal, the need for
speaking skills shows that students need speaking skills to participate in class.
The third research came from Chunyan Shao, Shuya Guan (2020) with a journal
entitled ESP for Art Major Undergraduates: From the Perspective of English Learning
Motivation. The study found several motivations from art students, among them, participants
considered English not only for media or a means of speaking, the main motive for learning
English was to help their artistic creations or help them to better understand art. Also, for
them English is a necessary tool to request export of art from China. Arts students also
believe being fluent in English can facilitate their individual development.
The fourth journal came from Elisabet Arno-Macia, Marta Agular Perez, Diemar Tazl
(2020) with the title Engineering students perceptions of the role if ESP course in
Internationalized Universities. The results of the study inform that analyzing needs helps ESP
courses to better meet academic demands. Student expectations, ESP courses should support
students in academic-specific communication as well as professional-specific
communication.
CHAPTER III
METHOD OF RESEARCH
This chapter involves research design, population and sample, Instrument and data
analysis.
10
3.1 Research Design
This type of research is the quantitative research approach which uses the descriptive
method. Descriptive research is research that does not make comparisons of variables in other
samples, and does not look for variable relationships in other samples (Muslich Ansori,
2017). According to Ajat Rukajat (2000) descriptive research is a study that seeks to describe
phenomena in real terms, because this research is to make descriptions, pictures or paintings
systematically, factually and accurately, and to find out the relationship between the
phenomena being investigated. This study aims to find or analyze the learning needs of
Office Administration students.
3.2 Population and Sample
The target population in this study is level 11 and 12 of the Office Administration
Department at SMK Taruna Jaya Gresik, English teacher, and also a special subject
teacher. There is 1 class at each level, Level 11 Office Administration consists of 23
female students, and level 12 consists of 24 female students. There are 4 English
teachers who teach at SMK Taruna Jaya, and there are 5 special subject teachers who
specifically teach about Office Administration. The total of the target population in
this study was 56, consisting of students, English teachers, and special subject
teachers.
To find a sample in this study, the researcher refers to the opinion of the expert
Arikunto (2008), namely Population Research, if the sample is less than 100, it is
better to take all. Based on this opinion, the researcher decided to take the entire
population, namely 56 consisting of Office Administration Students, English teachers,
and Special Subject teachers.
3.3 Instruments
3.3.1 Questionnaire
A questionnaire is a series of several questions or statements posed by
researchers to respondents or groups that want to be studied. The purpose of this
Research is to obtain information from the subjects studied (Robert H. Gault, 1907).
Questionnaires on this study Adapted from Mazdayasna & Tahririan's (2008)
questionnaire were used to investigate participants' expectations of the ESP courses
offered in the questionnaire.
11
The questionnaire for language teachers and teachers of special subjects
consists of 3 parts. The first part, items 1-31 explores the teacher's perspective on the
needs of learning English in Office Administration students. In the second part of the
questionnaire number 32-36, the teacher will evaluate students' English proficiency by
showing the extent to which they have developed language competence. The third part
aims to explore the opinions of teachers and teachers of special subjects, about the
guidance of English for Office Administration students, the language needs of Office
Administration students, and the length of the English Specific Purpose course that
must be given.
The questionnaire for students consists of 3 parts. The first part consists of 5
personal questions regarding name, age, sex, English test results, Know or now
knowledge of English Specific Purpose. The second part consists of 21 statements
based on four main English language skills. Namely, listening is in items 1 to 1-6,
Speaking is in items 7-12, Reading is in items 13-17, and Writing is in items 18-21.
The third part, consists of 6 multiple-choice. Multiple-choice was designed to find out
students' opinions about their language demands, the attitude they should have in
language teaching, the length of English classes, their opinions on their English
teachers, and the suitability of textbooks for them.
3.3.1 Table

3.4 Data Collection Procedure
The second stage, the researcher goes to the school and meets a language
teacher and teacher of special subjects, the researcher informs them a little about his
research, then conveys the purpose of the research, and asks them to fill out a
questionnaire. Some Teachers may finish answering questionnaires on the same day,
but if some teachers want to delay collecting questionnaires, they can first save the
questionnaire and collect at least 3 days after the questionnaire is given by sending by
e-mail or WhatsApp.
After checking all questionnaires, The Statistical Package for the Social Science
(SPSS) software was used to analyze the data. The statistical tools used in this study are:
Table 3.4
3. Arithmetic mean (X) and Standard Deviation (S.D) are used to calculate the average
level of English skill needs of Office Administration students. The highest average
score (X) describes the highest need of the students. Standard Deviation (S.D)
describes the distribution of respondents' scores.
4. Weighted Scores are used to sort the needs of the most frequently used to the least
used in the main needs of language skills (Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing).
