Abstract
The partnership program has been running as one of the Community Service programs of the UPPM of the Bandung State Polytechnic. In this partnership program, a newly established Islamic school which is often called 'pesantren' in Bandung regency has become the partner. The main objective of the program is to give a consultation to the school in the English language teaching (ELT) program as an extra curriculum activity. As the ELT program is new and has not been established, a new syllabus with the materials should be formed. To design a syllabus, needs analysis was performed. It was then conducted through observation, interview, and survey. The management of the school and students has become the respondents. They all contributed data that are useful for syllabus designing. With additional information regarding the school and life of the students in the boarding school, a book for teaching materials has now been written. The present paper describes all the steps taken to collect data and to design a syllabus with the corresponding materials.
