Nature of Particular Target and Learning Situation

1. Target Needs : - What are the target needs? - Gathering information about target needs?

2. Learning Needs : - Learning needs - Analysing learning needs

Why do Learners need to learn

English?

Needs can be specified

ESP“Concern on awareness

of needs”

1. What are Target Needs?“Target Needs” What the learner needs to do in the target situation

Target Needs

Lack

WantNecessities

Observing what situation the learner will need to function in and then analysing the constituent parts of them

Need to know the learner already, so that you can then decide which of the necessities the learners lack

Necessities

Lack

“…. Need doesn’t not exist independent of a person. It is people who build their images of their need in the basis of data relating to themselves and their environment.”

Objective SubjectiveView of needs can, and do, conflict, with a consequent de-

stabilising

Want

Effect on Motivation

2. Gathering Information about Target NeedsThere are a number of ways in which information can be gathered about needs :

Needs Analysis Not a once-for-all activity Continuing process

Conclusions drawn Constantly checked and re-assesed

Questionnaires Interviews Observation

Data collection Informal Consultations

Interpretations of needs can vary according to the point of view of the particular respondent

A Target Situation Analysis Framework

Why is the language needed? How will the language be used? What will the content areas be? Who will the learners use the language with? Where will the language be used? When will the language be used?

3. Learning Needs

In ESP Classroom

Make it more interesting or humorous

In General English

Generate the motivation needed

Long Text and Dull

The Target Situation Not reliable indicator of what is needed or useful in the ESP Learning Situation

• Can determine destination• As a compass to give general direction Choose our route : The vehicles guides available (The conditions of the learning situation) The learner’s mind (Their knowledge, skill & strategies) The learner’s motivation

4. Analysing Learning NeedsTo analyse learning needs, we can use a similar checklist to that used for target situation analysis :

Why are the learners taking the course?How do the learners learn?What resources are available?Who are the learners?Where will the ESP course take place?When will the ESP course take place?
