Abstract

In UIN Prof. K.H. Saifuddin Zuhri, most students, who had taken an English Proficiency Test at the beginning of the academic year to recognize the students' English proficiency, did not achieve a passing grade (450 points) of the test. This condition drives the institution to improve the student's English proficiency through the intensive language program that the Language Development Unit organizes. The research uses a descriptive study to analyze the data from the questionnaire, in which each item is analyzed individually. Fifty students' questionnaire answers and the interview of ten lecturers are grouped and analyzed to identify their real needs. The data is evaluated descriptively based on the percentage of student responses. The study results show that the language skills needed in intensive English courses are listening, structure and written expression, and reading. Most of the lecturers said that the students lacked grammar. Therefore, students need listening, structure and written expression materials, and reading skills—the essential skills to improve our structure and writing. Also, vocabulary and grammar are the aspects of the language that should be improved in the intensive English class. When developing the material, the target needs analysis should be considered, including language skills, language aspects, English learning objectives, and the time commitment of the Intensive English language program.

Abstract

This descriptive quantitative study analyzed the students in the Language Testing and Evaluation (LTE) subject. The sources of information were taken from 100 students and two lecturers. Questionnaires and interviews are used to gain the data. From the result of the research, the students need detailed material about language testing and evaluation as their skills for being teachers in the future. First, they need explicit material about assessments and tests. Second, they need the material for creating listening, speaking, writing, and reading test items because there are some types of listening, speaking, writing, and reading that students should master. Next, the TBI (Tadris Bahasa Inggris) students must master creating listening, speaking, writing, and reading test items. The TBI student also needs information on creating assessment rubrics for listening, speaking, writing, and reading test items. In the interview with the lecturer, the TBI students need to understand all assessment components. The LTE lesson plan should state that a detailed assessment rubric has been added for each skill, even though making an assessment rubric per type of existing skill is necessary.
