INTRODUCTION
The role of language in communication is very important.Its role is always integrated to the other fields.Each country has used language to communicate each other.It can be used in the personal communication or community one.Language helps people to share their idea.And, the need of mastery the language has been a government's special duty in each country, such as Indonesia.
Indonesia is a country with different variety of language and culture.Its different variety not become a problem among the individuals.Why?Since Indonesian people have Indonesian language as an unity language.
Beside Indonesian language, Indonesia also uses English as a foreign language.And in Indonesia, English will be learn from the elementary level to the university one.
In the university level, English is a subject which has been taken by all students from every faculty such as in Pekalongan University.One of the departments in Pekalongan University is Management Economics study program.
In Management Economics department, Bahasa Inggris (the name of the English subject) has two levels.Those are Bahasa Inggris I and Bahasa Inggris II.Both of them have been taken by the students.All this time, the teaching learning process of Bahasa Inggris I and II have been running well.But, when we looked at the situation of the class was not comfortable enough.It could be seen from the students' appereance in following of the process.Manystudents were not enthusiastic in that subject.And it happened as a phenomenon which often occurs in Economic faculty, especially Management department.Most of the materials which had been delivered in this departement focussed in General English.
General English means that all materials only focsuses on the use of correct structure in either written form or spoken one.Most of the texts used in this learning was still in general.There was not related to the context of Economics.From those, the students only got the understanding of the material with mastering English vocabularies in daily life without any relation to the terms of Economics.
English which is used in special department, such as Management Economics study program has very complicated terms.It can be said that English for specific purpose has difficult terms than English used in general.It means that actually those terms are related to the real needs and are made to prepare the students in their work later.
Based on the background of the study above, this findinghas been used as areason for the reseachers to give further description about the need of English for Management Economics department of Pekalongan University.
The statement of the problem of this research is "How is the lecturers' perception toward the need of English in Management Economics department of Pekalongan University?" According to Richards (2001: 51), need analysis is procedures which will be done to know the student's need in the teaching learning process.West (1994) stated that language needs analysis was essentially a pragmatic activity focused on specific situations, although grounded in general theories, such as the nature of language and curriculum.Moreover Nunan (1989: 75) states that need analysis is a procedure in collecting the information of student's need in learning.Based on the statements above, it can be concluded that need analysis is a step or procedure which has to be done to collect the data about the students' need in the teaching learning process.Dudley-Evans and St John (1998) stated that "need analysis was the process of establishing what and how of a course".
Robinson (1991) suggested that needs analysis study should be repeated so that it could be built into the formative process.English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is an English subject which is taught for special purpose.According to Hutchinson dan Walters (1987), English For Specific Purposes (ESP) is an approach of language teaching in which the content and method are based on the students' reason to study.Based on that statement, it can be concluded that learning ESP is special.The English materials which have been taught is made to be appropriate with each need of the department.For example, the subject of ESP in Management department, Bahasa Inggris which should be delivered in relation to the Management Economics field.Beside that, Susanto (2013: 266-267) states that choosing the method which will be used by the teachers in their teaching learning process, should be creative.
The researchers used the basic theory of Richards in constructing the instrument.Richards 3 dimension are be stated here: 1) Overview from the perspective of the need and the difficulties that often occurs; 2) Overview from the perspective of the topic needed; 3) Overview from the component of the communicative competence From the third point above, it can be explained clearly that communicative competence divided in the skill of (listening, speaking, reading and writing) and the structure competence which consists of grammar and vocabulary).
Explaining about the learning objective, the researcher still used Richards' theory.Based on the statement of Richards ' (2001:112), learning objective can be seen from some perspectives.Those are: 1) Objective usually in the form of general statement; 2) Generally that statement will be a motivation to reach the certain purpose; 3) A program will be efective if it can show a clear objective The three perspective should be integrated to each other to formulate a clear objective to make a design of syllabus.Those objectives are used to arrange the material.The following is the steps in arranging the material: 1) Observing that Standard Competence should be in line to the Basic Competence; 2) Developing material; 3) Organize the learning activity; 4) Determining indicators; 5) Determining evaluation; 6) Determining the time; 7) Mentioning the source.
