Needs Analysis in the context of language-learning-teaching is an important process to design a certain course and syllabus. It helps course designers to set objectives, choose content, method of instruction, appropriate teaching aids, and classroom activities for different courses. This paper reports the perceptions of the researchers on the English language learning needs of the English undergraduate students of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto University Sheringal, Pakistan. The data is based on the researchers’ personal experience and first-hand observation of the population as the researchers have been teaching in the target context for about a decade. Furthermore, the researchers have always been in discussion with their students and colleagues about the target students’ English learning needs, preferred learning styles, motivation in learning English, interest, strengths/weaknesses, and attitude toward English learning in the target setting. Learners’ assignments, exam answer sheets, and presentations have also been used is a source of data collection. A needs analysis model proposed by Hutchinson and Waters (1987) has been applied in order to analyze the data. The results show that the students lack well grammatical sentences, have poor spellings, capitalization problems, limited vocabulary, unaware of collocations, poor/slow reading comprehension, and lack of effective presentation skills. Furthermore, most of the students have a lack of involvement in classroom activities and feel shy about speaking the English language. It was reported that the provision of authentic material, interesting activities, suitable audio-visual aids, relevant texts, language labs, and other logistic arrangements can better help them in learning the English language. The findings demonstrate that the students wished to have a learner-centered-course that helps them excel in their academic life and learning the English language.

This study addresses four domains: 1) description of Role Playing learning model use as a learning strategy in Biology instructional process at school, 2) perspectives and threats obtained by teachers at school when addressing Protein Synthesis topic 3) Role Playing learning model in Protein Synthesis topic of Biology learning, 4) the influence of Role Playing learning model towards motivation and Biology learning outcome. The results of this study is teacher needs analysis instruments, analysed using descriptive qualitative. The study showes that the use of Role Playing Instructional Model during Biology learning process has not been performed at school according to three reasons: 1) obstacles obtained when addressing the topic which is difficult to observe, 2) the difficulties obtained when addressing Protein Synthesis topic, in this case, teacher needs to apply Role Playing instructional Model to engage students with their environment, 3) Role Playing as an instructional model that demands students to learn from their experience in order to motivate and improve their learning outcomes.

This study aims to describe an image of cooperative learning model application through constructive controversy method in building 21st century competencies towards English learning. This study uses descriptive qualitative which took place at the second grade of SMKN 1 Talaga, Majalengka. Collecting data is done by using observation, interview, and documentation. The results illustrate that the ability to communicate, collaborate, think critically, and creatively in students can be built through controversial issues which make them challenged to discuss actively, intensively, and comprehensively. The use of 'gambits' in form of asking and giving opinions is quite effective to encourage students to analyze (communicate actively and effectively) related to the issues raised, collaborate intensively on various ideas to make decisions, and formulate solutions by constructing ideas from various results of divergent thinking. Keywords: 21st century competencies; English learning; cooperative learning model; constructive controversy method; controversy issues
