The aim of this study was to develop appropriate autonomous learning materials of structure and written expression of TOEFL preparation for autonomous learners for the Centre for Language and Development of Yogyakarta State University based on the learning needs and target needs of the autonomous learners. The research was an educational research and development (R&D) adapting ADDIE model (Branch, 2009). Two instruments (questionnaire and test) for needs analysis and two instruments for validation were used. The data from the needs analysis and the material validation were analyzed quantitatively through descriptive statistics. The research findings revealed that the autonomous learning materials were appropriate in terms of input, learning activities, layout, design and organization. The learners’ role is to learn the materials individually and teacher's role is to be a guide and cooperator. All of the learning activities include reading of explanations of forms and functions, doing practices for forms and functions, multiple choice, and doing reflection.

Life Problems

The writing of this article is motivated by the author's direct experience as the leader of the community service team at Padang State University, in various locations and places of service, including in the Sungai Buluh Timur community. The problems that have arisen so far are the low motivation of the community to participate in learning, especially regarding learning materials related to theory. This is seen from the arrival of those who are often late, lacking focus in learning, wanting to go home quickly. The author suspects, this happens because the community still does not feel that learning is carried out as a necessity. The purpose of this paper is in order to describe the nature of the needs and learning needs of adults, how adults learn, and also stated things that need to be done so that learning in society can be realized as a need. It is hoped that this paper can be used as input for practitioners engaged in community development, have awareness and insight in conducting learning activities so that the community is able to see their learning needs and at the same time be able to help the community to get out of the life problems they face.Keywords: Learning Motivations, Learning Needs

In learning German as Foreign Language (DaF – Deutsch als Fremdsprache), students in The German Language Program at The State University of Medan need to comprehend not only four competencies (Sprechfertigkeit, Lesefertigkeit, Hörfertigkeit, and Schreibfertigkeit), but they also required to have intercultural communication competence. This competence is crucial because there are so many differences between German cultures and Indonesian cultures. This research was conducted at the Faculty of Language and Arts, State University of Medan, in the German Language Education Study Program. The research and development method used in this study refers to Plomp's model, which consists of five steps, namely (1) investigation, (2) design, (3) development realization, (4) evaluation, and (5) implementation. However, in this study, the development process is focused on 3 steps, namely investigation, design, and development realization. Data collection techniques in this needs analysis are questionnaires, literature reviews, and interviews. The data to be analyzed in this study is qualitative data from interviews, observations, and documents. The data were obtained through a questionnaire distributed to 20 alumni of the German Language Study Program who live in Germany. Interkulturelle Kommunikation learning materials were developed based on the results of the questionnaire analysis. The results showed that the learning materials developed included the themes of Familie, Nachbarschaft, Schulsystem in Deutschland, Berufswelt, and Feste, Sinne und Bräuche.

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.
