Models of Needs Analysis in Esp Script

Needs analysis is a key component in ESP course design and development. It identifies the specific language needs of students for their academic or professional goals. A needs analysis examines the learning environment and investigates what students hope to be able to do with the language by the end of the course. It establishes target language needs and performance levels by looking at the target situation or field. A needs analysis should guide both course design and evaluation to ensure classes are focused and successful.

2.Needs analysis key component in ESP course design and
development and its role is clearly indisputable The corner stone of ESP
and leads to much focused course needs analysis is a pivotal step that
the other steps rest on
4. Evaluation in ESP situations concerned with the effectiveness and
efficiency of learning; with achieving the objectives
3. Needs analysis looks at the environment in which a course will
be run or the other words, the environment on which a project
will take root , grow healthy and survive.
4. Aspect of a needs analysis basically tries to glean information
from the students about what they are hoping to be able to do
with the language by the end of the course and certainly into
the future

5. the target needs and target level performance are established by


investigating the target situation, and his overall model clearly
establishes the place of needs analysis as central to ESP, indeed the
necessary starting point in materials or course design (West, 1998).
In the CNP, account is taken of “the variables that affect
communication English for Specific Purposes world,
6. the PSA can be carried out by means of established placement tests.
However, the background information, e.g. years of learning English,
level of education, etc. about learners can provide us with enough
information their present abilities which can thus be predicted to
some extent .

‘8. the term ‘pedagogic needs analysis’ covers deficiency analysis, strategy
analysis or learning needs analysis, and means analysis.
9. t is important for in ESP practitioner in the planning of their course to be
able to translate both TSA and LSA goals to specific language forms which
relate to the content area, genre, or fields that they are trying to get the
students to be able to work and function in
The purposes, goals, and ways of doing a needs analysis are many, but
they all boil down to one simple thing – a needs analysis makes the
class more focused and therefore more successful.

10. The only way we can accurately evaluate the students, ourselves,
and the course itself is to use the needs analysis as a guide. If the
needs analysis needs to be used to guide us in designing and running
the class then it must also serve to help us evaluate the course. Just as
we would not know what and how to teach without the needs analysis,
we would not know how to evaluate with the needs analysis

2. the distinction between evaluation and assessment is a very fuzzy one.
It’s very difficult to evaluate our course without taking student
assessment into consideration and the same techniques we use for
evaluation can also be used for assessment and vice versa we don’t
have to wait till the end of the course to do with these things. We can
evaluate and assessed on a weekly or daily basis depending on the way
our course is run
