Abstract


English Department’s Self Access Language Learning Center (SALLC) is one of facilities which is designed for students to improve their English skills. The students have access to resources in form photocopied exercises with answer keys to train their ability in English language skills and language components. SALLC promotes the approach where students study independently choosing from among different resources that are available. With a proper use, it can result an empowerment and better learning outcomes, but when the materials are not suitable with curriculum demands, it can be problematic. For this reason, it is important to do a need analysis for SALLC materials and its correlation with KKNI based curriculum. This article is written based on a research that has been conducted in English Department of FBS UNP in 2013 under the title SALLC Material Development Based on KKNI Curriculum Learning Outcomes. From the result of the research it is found that the users of SALLC need more variation of SALLC materials dealing with English language skills (speaking, writing, listening, and reading) and language components (vocabulary and grammar). Another finding of the research is the users of SALLC need materials that are suitable with the KKNI based Curriculum, so what they learn in the classroom can be practiced independently in SALLC by accessing various materials in any levels (basic, intermediate and advance). This article is focusing on the discussion of reading exercises
