Abstract
This study analyzed the students’ perception of the material presentation
assignment which is one of the task requirements of the course in Faculty of Language and Literature Satya Wacana Christian University. It is important for the teachers to know about students’ perception since it has been conducted for
several semesters without knowing the evaluation and students’ voice. One of the purposes of knowing students’ perception is to show the students’ learning process and the teachers’ teaching process. This study uses Descriptive
Phenomenology methodology to describe the students’ perception itself. The students’ perception is influenced by students’ needs and desires. Rao and
Narayana (1998) stated that needs and desires are internal factors that affect the
students’ perception. The results of interviews with the students who have done
this material presentation assignment show that in doing assignment presentation task, the students need to understand the course subject and meet the task requirement of the course. The students also desire to achieve good grades and explore the chapter.
