            Unit 14 is about learner needs. The main point here is that students have various kinds of needs and those influence a lot when they learn a foreign language. Those could be personal needs that can help them as well as they can affect many things related to their learning. First, the learner needs influence in learning because students require some feedback to become more fluent, then they could past to the front to give presentations without improvising. On the other hand, learner needs can affect in learning because some students wish to learn step by step and also there are methods and approaches they like the teacher to use, It mainly occurs because some learners don't feel comfortable with the teaching way that the teachers have. So some students hope that the teacher uses interesting topics, what language and skills they need to focus on. It is because learners prefer to study by applying easy strategies in order to make more interesting the language. Students think that the teacher makes interesting the subject taking into account the way the teacher has to deal with the language .
