INTRODUCTION
A. The background of the Study
Vocational high school is a type of secondary education in which the specification
is preparing the students to work in certain field soon after they graduate. In terms of
English teaching, according to the National Education Standards Agency (2006) for
vocational high schools, English aims to make students proficient in both written and
spoken language to support their competence in a certain study program. To reach the
objective, there are some factors to consider such as teachers, media, materials, etc.
Materials take important part in the process of teaching and learning. The materials give
students input to develop their knowledge and improve their skills. Tasks provided within
the material also help students to practice and give them exposure about English. Based
on the objectives of vocational education, the English material used in the learning
process should be adjusted to the study programs. It aims to fulfill the students ‘needs so
they can maximize their skills.
Unfortunately, materials for vocational high schools which are provided by the
government and publishers are still too general. Although the materials are different from
the materials used in Senior High School, they are not specified into certain study
programs whereas, English needed by students when they get jobs later or when they
continue studying in the higher level will be different. A study program offered in
vocational high schools is fishery. Students of Fishery Study Program learn everything
about fish in expertise lessons including the characteristics of fish, how to cultivate them,
how to feed them, etc. since after graduation, the students are expected to work in fishery
industry both locally and globally. Ideally English materials used to teach students of
fishery study program have relevance to their field. In fact, the materials are too general
and do not support their knowledge in the field of fishery.
Students’ need analysis is the first step before designing a program outline to
identify what things must be studied. Therefore, the students’ need analysis attempts to
investigate the relevance between target language (English), proficiency, and what the
students have to do to master English. To analyze the students’ need, there are two types
of needs that must be considered those are target needs and learning needs. The first type
is target needs, it analyze what the students must conduct with English in target situation.
There are some components in target situation as follow: necessities, lacks, and wants.
Necessities are what the students have to know in order to communicate effectively using
English in target situation. Providing information that has to be understood is not
sufficient, the teacher also demands to identify what the students know already. So the
teacher can define the lacks of the students to find solution. While, wants are view and
hope of each student toward his or her own needs in learning English.
2
The second is learning needs. Hutchinson and Waters said learning needs can be
defined as what are the students need to do to acquire the English language. It is the way
to think about what route can be taken to arrange activities and create interesting
environment in the teaching process. Both of the types of needs above aim to prepare
appropriate content of English course design for students. So that, the students can learns
English for their purpose maximally to be human resource that have competence to
communicate effectively in English in their target area.
By conducting this research, the writer tries to find out the needs of the tenth
grade of fishery students of SMK Negeri 12 Medan in learning English. Furthermore,
result of this research can be used as suggestion to SMK Negeri 12 Medan to design
specific English material for marketing students.
b. What are the learning needs of grade X students of Fishery Study Program?
c. How is the need in English for Specific Purposes of the grade X students of
Fishery Study Program of SMK Negeri 12 Medan?
c. To describes the need in English for Specific Purposes of the grade X students of
Fishery Study Program of SMK Negeri 12 Medan.

CHAPTER II
LITERATURE REVIEW
After graduation, the students are expected to work in fishery industry both
locally and globally. In local industry, they can be entrepreneur by running fishpond
or building home industry that produces food made from fish. In global industry, they
can work in foreign companies that are good in fishery like in Japan, South Korea,
Spain, Thailand, China, Vietnam, and Australia. Some students of Fishery Study
Program continue their study to university and they can work in fishery and marine
ministry. Therefore they need English to communicate with others.
4
Considering the need of fishery students‘ graduation, the researcher thinks that
students of fishery study program need English materials that are relevant to fishery
and marine to support their careers later on. In relation to that, they need English for
specific purposes. Therefore next part will discuss English for specific purposes.
5
f. To collect information about a particular problem learner are experiencing
Hutchinson and Waters (1987: 54) define needs as the ability to comprehend and
to produce the linguistic features into two categories: target needs and learning needs.
The target needs are what knowledge and abilities the learner will require in order to be
able to perform appropriately in the target situation. The analysis of the target needs is
divided into three points which are necessities, lacks, and wants.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
A. Research Design
Research design is the framework of research methods or techniques chosen by a
researcher. The design allows researcher to hone in on research methods that are suitable
for the subject matter and set up their studies up for success. Research design refers to the
strategy to integrate the different components of research projects in cohesive and
coherence way. Some experts have different opinion about what is mean by research
design. According to Creswell (2009:3). Research design is plans and the procedures for
research to detailed methods of data collection and analysis. The function of a research
design is to ensure that the evidence obtain enables us to answer the initial question as
unambiguously as possible. There are there main types of research design, that are data
collection, measurement, and analysis. In this study, researchers used a quantitative
descriptive design because this study focused on collecting data about the teaching
instrument used in vocational schools at SMKN 12 Medan. According to Fraenkel and
Wallen (1993, p.23), descriptive methods are methods used to explain, analyze and
classify things through various techniques, surveys, interviews, questionnaires,
observations, and texts. In addition, Gay (1987) states that "the descriptive method is a
research method that involves collecting data to test hypotheses or answer questions
about the correctness of the status of the research subject. Descriptive design is a
scientific method that involves observing and describing a subject's behavior without
affecting it at all. The results of descriptive research in no way can be used as definite
answers or to refute hypotheses, but if limitations are understood, they can still be useful
tools in many areas of scientific research. According to Aliaga and Gunderson (2002),
quantitative research is an investigation of a social problem, explaining phenoma by
collecting numerical data which is analyzed using mathematical-based methods, for
example. in certain statistics. According to Creswell (2003) researchers primarily use a
post-positivist approach to developing knowledge when quantitative research is selected
(i.e. cause and effect thinking, use of measurement and observation, and theory testing),
using inquiry strategies such as experiments and surveys, and collect data on
8
predetermined instruments that generate statistical data. Therefore, this study uses
descriptive quantitative as the research design.
B. Research Subject
In this study, the subjects were students and a teacher from SMKN 12 Medan.
The subjects in this study were students from the Department of fishery Design and
English Teachers of Fashion Design. With 24 students and 2 English teacher.
C. Data Sources
Sources of data in this study were to provide questionnaires to students majoring
in fishery, besides that researchers also gave questionnaires and interviews to teachers.
D. Data Collection
Data methods are the techniques that researchers use to collect data. The
techniques used can be seen through: questionnaires, interviews, observations, etc. In this
study the writer used a questionnaire and a short interview with the teacher. There are
two kinds of questionnaires, one for students and one for teachers. The questionnaire we
provide to students is related to the opinions or experiences they feel while learning
English. Is it appropriate or not the material taught by the department they are in, namely
the major in fishery. And the questionnaire we gave to the teacher was a number of
questions about the teaching instrument used when teaching in class. with yes and no
options. In addition, to complete the data and information we need, we also ask for lesson
plans that teachers use.
a) The researcher chose an English teacher majoring in fashion design and a grade X
student majoring in fashion at SMKN 12 Medan.

The instrument is a tool needed to obtain information. Gay and Airasian (2000:
145) state that an instrument is a tool used in collecting data. Meanwhile, Arikunto (2000:
134) states that the instrument in collecting data is a tool used by researchers to help them
collect data to make it more systematic and easier. The instruments in this study were
questionnaires and interviews. Because the schools is still in online learning, the
researchers distributed questionnaires through the class group WhatsApp in the form of
G-Form and also questionnaires to teachers directly by coming to the SMKN 12 Medan.

CHAPTER IV
In this study, the authors conducted quantitative descriptive research where the results of
this study were in the form of numbers and explanations related to the results of the research that
the authors had analyzed. According to Fraenkel and Wallen (1993, p.23), descriptive methods
are methods used to explain, analyze and classify things through various techniques, surveys,
interviews, questionnaires, observations, and texts. According to Aliaga and Gunderson (2002),
quantitative research is an investigation of a social problem, explaining phenoma by collecting
numerical data which is analyzed using mathematical-based methods, for example.
To find out the students' needs related to English learning materials for class 10th Grade
Students of Vocational School in Majoring Fishery at SMK NEGERI 12 MEDAN an analysis is
required. By analyzing student needs, the authors can find out what is needed by students. The
authors gives 15 questions related to student needs. There are 24 students from Vocational
School in Majoring Fishery at SMK NEGERI 12 MEDAN.
In this analysis there are 3 targets, namely the desire to learn, learning needs and learning
deficiencies. By indicating these three goals, researchers can develop learning tools according to
what students need. These 3 important targets must be considered before designing a syllabus.

wrong with the grammar
From the results of the questionnaire that the author has obtained, it can be concluded that
there are several needs of students. From the table above we can conclude that 29.2% of students
strongly agree that if a quiz is held after studying the material it will increase their demand for
learning. Students will also be more interested in learning if the teacher uses a variety of learning
media, we can see that there are 66.7%. There are 70.8% of students who strongly agree that in
every class meeting the teacher must explain all the material in detail so that students can easily
understand the lessons. Students also need material explanations in the form of videos in every
online learning, which we can see there are 37.5%. There are 16.7% of students who can quickly
understand a material if it is in the form of a discussion. There are 20.8% of students who
strongly agree if the teacher's teaching and learning process uses power points instead of using a
blackboard. There are 25% of students who strongly agree that there is a mini glossary in each
chapter of an English book. In the results of the questionnaire it can also be concluded that
students prefer to learn using films than conventional books, it can be seen in the table that 29%
of students strongly agree. There are 41.7% of students who do not feel bored if the teacher uses
game learning media. There were 37.5% of students who preferred to listen to the teacher's
explanation for a long period of time than to be given a lot of homework. Students also find it
easier to understand English if they use direct practice rather than theory, it can be seen from the
results agree that there are 41.7%. There are 20.8% of students who strongly agree that they are
embarrassed to speak because they are afraid of making mistakes with grammar. There are
12.5% of students who have difficulty learning English if their teacher explains in full English.
13
14.7% of students felt afraid if the teacher gave a note-taking assignment that required them to
use English. And finally, 8.3% of students are unable to remember all types of tenses.
Besides the data that the authors got from students, the authors also got data from one of the
English teachers who taught in the fashion major at the school. Here are the results that the
authors got.

teacher, it can be concluded that the worksheet that the teacher has given to students is in
accordance with what the students need. The teacher provides worksheets according to the needs
of students majoring in fisheries, and worksheets are given after group assignments and personal
assignments. And the teacher also gives questions from the easiest to the most difficult levels.
2. Teaching Media

penggunaannya.
From the results of the questionnaire about teaching media that the author has given to
the teacher, it can be concluded that the teaching media given by the teacher to students does not
seem to be in accordance with the wishes of the students because of the inadequate facilities and
facilities. From the results of the student questionnaire that students are more interested in
learning if the teaching media used by the teacher varies, it is just that there are a number of
things that cannot be maximized by the school regarding teaching media that will be used by the
teacher when teaching.
3. Evaluation

From the results of the questionnaire that the author has given to the teacher regarding
evaluation, it can be concluded that the assessment rubric in RPP is not in accordance with the
assessment rubric for fisheries majors. Teachers have no difficulty when calculating student
scores. Teachers also do not experience difficulties and obstacles in providing an assessment of
knowledge and skills. From the results of the questionnaire, the authors conclude that evaluation
is not only given for knowledge and skills but also about student attitudes. The assessment
indicators are also in accordance with the fisheries department.
4. Teaching Material

From the results of the questionnaire that the author has given students to recognize
Teaching Material, it can be concluded that the teaching of the subject matter given is in
accordance with the fisheries majors, the development of learning materials is also contained in
the standard competency and basic competency learning materials of the fisheries department.
The material that the teacher provides is also in accordance with the cognitive abilities of
students. The material provided is also in accordance with the learning plan for the fisheries
department. Teachers also like to provide teaching using printed teaching materials rather than
audio but also teachers still provide teaching materials using audio according to student needs.
5. Lesson Plan

PERIKANAN
From the results of the questionnaire that has been about the lesson plans that the writer
has given to students, the teacher adjusts the lesson plans to the syllabus that has been designed
by themselves and is different from the lesson plans used by SMA. The teacher also writes down
the basic competencies and indicators according to the learning objectives. The teacher also
adjusts the learning material according to the needs of students majoring in fisheries. Learning
approaches and models are also tailored to the needs of students majoring in fisheries. Here also
students acknowledge that there are difficulties in designing core activities in the lesson plan.
When the teacher compiles the lesson plan, the teacher also makes activities carried out with
19
groups and individuals. The lesson plan that is designed also takes into account the students'
interest in the peikanana major. The language used by the teacher in making lesson plans is also
in accordance with the rules of Indonesian.
CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION

A. Conclusion
From the data collection conducted by researchers through questionnaires and interviews,
which were given to students and teachers, it can be concluded that. From the students'
point of view, they feel that the English material taught in the classroom is not in
accordance with the major they are taking, namely fishery, they agree that they need a
topic about fishery in English lessons, besides that students agree that the teacher must
have a way different or not monotonous at the time of teaching so that the learning
atmosphere is not boring. And from the teacher's point of view, the teacher has create an
interesting and creative atmosphere for learning English so that students didn’t bored
easily when learning English because the teacher provides material in many ways and
exercises and also sometimes teacher taught them using games even material is not
suitable to their major.
In this case, we can conclude that, the teaching instrument used by the English
teacher of fishery at SMKN 12 Medan is not in accordance with the department of fishery
the English material provided is still the same as the material studied at Senior High
School.
B. Suggestion
The suggestion that the researcher can give is that the teacher must provide learning
material related to topics that are in accordance with the majors being undertaken by
students in vocational schools, so that students can further explore the majors they choose
through English.

The lesson plans at SMKN 8 Medan are the same as the English lesson plans in general.
teachers didn’t make specific lesson plans related to fishery majors.
3. Worksheet
The worksheets used by the teacher in English lessons for students of class 10 at SMKN
12 Medan are sourced from the textbooks used in the lessons. The teacher didn’t make
worksheets according to the Fishery department. The teacher only used task that have in
