Anisa Dian Kusumawardani, 2018. “The Alignment of and Gap between Needs Analysis, the 2013 Curriculum and Classroom Practice of CLT Approach (The Case Study of SMK Negeri 1 Semarang)”.Thesis. Graduate Program State University of Semarang. Supervised by PujiAstuti, S.Pd, M.Pd, P.hd, and Prof.Dr.Abdurrachman Faridi, M.Pd. Key words :Needs Analysis, 2013 Curriculum, CLT Approach. As the aim of the vocational high school is preparing the students to enter the work place. Ironically, it is found that vocational high school graduates occupy the highest unemployment category. It can be inferred that there is incomplete process during the teaching learning process. Thus, this study aims to get depth information on it by investigating the students’ needs analysis toward English subject, the implementation of the 2013 Curriculum, the classroom practice of CLT approach, as well as the alignment of and gaps between those three. This research employed qualitative descriptive research. The subjects of this study were 76 students of SMK Negeri 1 Semarang as well as the English teacher. The data were collected by using questionnaire, observation checklist, document analysis guideline and interviews. The result of this study showed that the students are aware on the importance of English for their graduation as well as for their future. They realize their lack of English skill especially in speaking. Meanwhile, the teaching learning activity has accommodated their needs, although it has not shown maximum result of their proficiency. The analysis also discovers the students’ preference for their learning on having more speaking practices, more group works as well as having learning material which relates to their programs. The implementation of the 2013 Curriculum in vocational high school more or less has been accordance with the regulation, although some of parts have not met the required yet. The teaching learning approach in the classroom can be said that has not represent CLT approach, as the teacher has not been familiar to the approach. The alignment of the needs analysis and the 2013 Curriculum lays on the sufficient time allotment of the English subject; the learning activity and promoting active learning. The alignment of the needs analysis and the classroom practice of CLT approach happens in the fact that the teacher tries to make use of English in every occasion during the learning process. The alignment of the 2013 Curriculum and the classroom practice of CLT can be seen through the idea of active learning. The gaps between the needs analysis and the 2013 Curriculum occurs in the lack of productive skill practice such as speaking and writing practice, the use of learning media, and the learning material. Meanwhile the gap occurs between the 2013 Curriculum and the CLT approach in the use of English as the language to communicate during learning process as well as the learning material which is considered insufficient to the students’ program.
