CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides some points of discussion such as: background of
the study, statement of problems, purpose of the study, significance of the study,
scope and limitation, and definition of key term.
1.1Background of The Study
The importance of English as a world language has made people to learn
English as early as possible. In Indonesia for example, English is taught even
before the children enter playgroup and English is the first foreign language
taught as a local content subject in Kindergarten and primary school. English also
becomes main subjects from Junior High School up to universities. In other
words, Indonesian government places high priority on this language. It means that
the government hopes that the students are ready to face their future whether in
academic field or in working field. It can be said that teaching and learning
English in Indonesia is very important.
There are many reasons that learning English is important. First, learning
English was to improve the people’s life. By learning English they get
information, knowledge and do things related to English. Second, if the people
learn English, they can communicate with people around the world especially
2
get better job if they know English because many jobs employers nowadays
require that job applicant know English.
However, it is unfortunate condition because the result shows the poor
knowledge and less motivation of the students in learning English. There are
many factors influence the student’s motivation in learning English such as the
classroom environments, the classroom facilities or the materials that did not
appropriate with the students’ need etc. It is related to the situation analysis that to
identify positive or negative impact the implementation of a curriculum plan.
There are two reasons why knowing the impact in implementing the
curriculum plan are important. First, if the teachers know what are the positive or
negative impact in implementing the curriculum plan, they can overcome the
obstacle in teaching and learning process so that the knowledge can be transferred
to the students effectively and it will make the class management well. According
to Richards (1994:39), in a well managed class contributes to high motivation and
expectation for success. The students who have high motivation will learn better
and faster. On the contrary, the students who have less motivation they will not
learn well. They just come to school to listen only what the teacher explains but
they do not learn anything. Second, responding to the goverment steps that
theexistence of educational institution should be able to suspend the economical
situation in its area. For example; in Malang, today, demands of people who are
able to operate excel and microsoft word to be secretary is recently high. Thus,
university or vocational high school should provide talented students to fill in

From the statement above, this research focuses on situation analysis in
ESP subject at English Department of University of Muhammadiyah Malang.
Because in this level, the students did not need to learn many or all subjects like in
the senior or junior high school, but university students only will take a specific
field of study based on their interest. Here, the function of ESP is to give and
socialize English as foreign language appropriate with their subject matter. As
English students, first grade students need to know many things about English not
only about the main subject of English but also other filed of English such as
tourism, business English, and hotel. In ESP program, students will learn English
communicatively and meaningfully.
Finally, the researcher is interested in ESP subject because ESP is a new
subject for first semester students, and situation analysis in ESP has never been
investigated yet.

positive or negative impact in situation analysis, the teachers can overcome the
obstacle in teaching and learning process and will give the course design of the
materials which appropriate with the students’ difficulties. Moreover, this research
will give contribution for English Department related to ESP subject. In general,
this research will provide important information to increase the quality of teaching
and learning. The researcher also hopes that this research may be used by
