When we use the needs assessment characterization?

We can use the characterization of the needs analysis before starting a course, that is, have a teaching model designed for the teaching and understanding of the English language. If the characterization analysis is wrong, we must change it, taking into account the error made, its solutions and, in turn, what results are expected to be obtained.

Why and how evaluate student´s needs and preferences in learning English to resolve this gap absence of knowledge, skills or both?

Because we must evaluate the needs of the students, it allows us to know the shortcomings that can be obtained when teaching English, also if the information is understandable for the student or not. We can assess student needs through the following steps:

·         Definition-Purpose (First step in any improvement planning), (Second establish a culture of reflection and learning), describe a system schools and support that actions)

·         Stages (Prepare for collaborative inquiry)- (Identifying the priority problems of practice)- (Analyzing root causes)- (Determining ideas for change)

·         Collaborative inquiry: Assemble a needs assessment (school staff) – Develop or revise a share vision (goals for school)-organize broad data overview (review of a school system)

[19:24, 15/11/2021] Lyn: The importance of the English language all over the world is essencial for teachers to conduct, it is essencial for teachers to conduct a needs analysis process in ther classes.

English language is universally is veru useful of understanding and interacting in different areas of knowledge beacause English language is universally accepted

Oportunities and benefits of language as a second or foreing language:
-promotes a culture of reflection collaborative inquiry deep learning and shared responsibility for improvement both.
-acces to a great to a amounth of information
-increases your confidence to get a better job position
-easy study in foreign countries
- develop languages abilities life skills as well
- achieving their desired results

Characteristics
Negotiating the learning outcomes should be accompmlished throught learnng activities in the journey of knowledge.
Teachers and learners will gain several benefits from this research.
Is neccesary to know the kind of motivations students have on theri learning styles.

The purpose of a Needs Analysis is to pinpoint the reasons an organization needs training prior to creating the course. Conducting a training needs analysis before you start putting together your training program is a crucial step to developing more effective training materials and capturing the best use of your production time, can be defined as a systematic process which helps teachers to collect information and get an accurate and complete picture of their students’ needs and preferences.

Helps us assess the needs.
This process sometimes does not involve looking at the learners’ individual needs, but may involve looking at the requirements and expectations of other members involved, such as employees, parents, teachers and financial supporters.

- Some probable resources for gathering information are: questionnaires, surveys, tests, observations and individual interviews.
-Generally a need analysis tries to get information on the situations in which a language is going to be used, the purposes for which that language is needed, the types of communication that are going to be used in the course and the level of proficiency that is required to develop a syllabus.

Gracias a Brown (2005, p. 272) includes the nine different kinds of Needs Analysis in a list as follows:

- Target-situation analysis looks for information on the language requirements learners face while learning a specific language.
- Deficiency analysis accounts for learners’ present needs and wants as well as their target situation shortages.
- The analysis of the current situation deals with the disputes of the students at the beginning of the academic training.
-Learning-oriented analysis takes into account the needs to be addressed between students and their context.
-Strategy analysis efforts to find student preferences by referring to learning strategies, error correction, group size, amount of homework.
-The media analysis focuses on the learning situation, with as few ideas as possible regarding practicality, logistics, cultural appropriateness, etc.
-Language audit takes a large scale view, in terms of strategic language policies for companies.
-Set menu analysis creates a menu including all the main courses learners can select.
-Computer-based analysis conducted by computer can be negotiated between students and teacher.

This is important:

Determine the audience to confirm the information.

Identify the target population from which the information will be collect

Select the approach to collect the information.

There are a variety of tools and techniques to collect data in a needs analysis process. Questionnaires can be used in large groups and are easy to tabulate and analyze.

There are also self-evaluations.

Interviews that give a clear understanding of the topic before asking questions.

Meetings in which a lot of information can be gathered in a short time.

Observations to see the attitude of the students.

This stage forms a bridge from analysis to action and identifies the best possible solutions. The result is a Training Needs Analysis report that recommends a specific course of action. The goal is to first target training efforts to the employees and skills that will make the biggest difference, and then identify what type of training will be most effective.

The main questions asked during this final phase are:

Where would improved skills and knowledge have the greatest impact?

What are the operational parameters of any training solution?

What modalities will be most effective based on content and context?
