- Abstract
The purpose of this research is to develop a General English for University Students textbook for learning English in the first semester in the Indonesian Language Education Study Program, FKIP Jambi University. In the early stages of developing the textbook, the researchers carried out a needs analysis and the results of which would later be used as a guide to design syllabus and develop a textbook that fulfill the needs of students. The findings showed that Indonesian Language Education students of Jambi University want English language learning in a balanced way among the four skills learned, namely speaking, writing, listening, and reading. Especially in learning speaking and listening, they want the material to be presented in the form of dialogue and active interaction. This is in line with other findings that their goal of learning English is to be able to communicate and speak using English because they think that English is very important for their future careers. Meanwhile, the desired view of the book is that they want books that have illustrated images. This will make it easier for them to understand the learning material because the images presented can help them find out the context of the lesson and the actual situation that is displayed in the book.
