Needs Analysis and Preferences - by SANDRA KARINA MOYA LUCIO https://padlet.com/skmoya/yatvs1wgb66ncnrg it is essential that teachers carry out a needs analysis process in their classes to help students be able to participate in their learning process en-us 2021-11-11 17:57:18 UTC 2024-10-15 09:29:15 UTC hello@padlet.com maortiz18 https://padlet.com/skmoya/yatvs1wgb66ncnrg/wish/1888633388 It should be done at the beginning of a course, program or academic activity, since at the beginning of the program the teacher can identify the learner's needs, appropriate learning styles, know the gaps to identify the English level of each learner and to ensure the knowledge acquired during instruction. There are several reasons why we should assess students' needs and preferences, as they help teachers to put in place the best strategy for students to feel comfortable while learning English and to achieve the desired results as well. Therefore, it is essential that teachers conduct a requirements analysis process in their classes to help students be able to participate in their learning process.

In addition, assessing needs helps teachers to select, create and apply the most useful tools to improve the teaching and learning process, which will undoubtedly help them to address the lack of second language skills and find out the learning needs of those learners, i.e. their preferences in terms of analysis will serve not only to obtain information about what is useful to learners but also to get an idea of what produces certain knowledge for them.

Therefore, we can evaluate the learning needs of each student through the size of the working groups in the classroom, the learning strategies, the usefulness of certain activities to improve oral fluency, the method of learning to write compositions, the way of studying the subject. To have all this information, we will have to use an instrument such as self-assessments in which students can evaluate their competence by themselves and also address the lack of knowledge through the results that reflect the same.

The cultural learning experience at school influences the level of use of language learning, that is why learning styles are related to cultural experience and in case of cultural differences, there is a danger of conflict, especially when the learner is not willing to change his or her learning processes.
It is when these needs are assessed that the starting situation is identified and the type of learner to be taught is defined, taking into account the learner's motivation towards the English language.]]> 2021-11-14 00:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/skmoya/yatvs1wgb66ncnrg/wish/1888641579 jemorocho62 https://padlet.com/skmoya/yatvs1wgb66ncnrg/wish/1888642664 2021-11-14 00:09:46 UTC https://padlet.com/skmoya/yatvs1wgb66ncnrg/wish/1888642664 jemorocho62 https://padlet.com/skmoya/yatvs1wgb66ncnrg/wish/1888650645 2021-11-14 00:29:14 UTC https://padlet.com/skmoya/yatvs1wgb66ncnrg/wish/1888650645 jemorocho62 https://padlet.com/skmoya/yatvs1wgb66ncnrg/wish/1888653588 By knowing the learner's learning needs, we try to predict what the learner needs to do in the English language in his or her present and future situation, this set of needs will provide clues as to what might be the communicative domains or areas in which the learner should develop.]]> 2021-11-14 00:37:05 UTC https://padlet.com/skmoya/yatvs1wgb66ncnrg/wish/1888653588 maortiz18 https://padlet.com/skmoya/yatvs1wgb66ncnrg/wish/1888656335 In summary, we can say that knowing the students' English levels will allow the teacher to be aware of their real skills and competencies. We know that it is not easy to determine how well students master English, especially if we do not have practical and efficient tools to perform a good needs analysis.

  1. - Group size
  2. - Learning strategies
  3. - Usefulness of activities to improve oral fluency
  4. - Method of writing texts
  5. - Homework correction techniques
  6. - Assessment systems and tests, etc

It is essential to ensure that the type of support allows the student to demonstrate their learning and also to value the student's achievements during the process, without discouraging them or minimizing their learning.]]> 2021-11-14 03:19:04 UTC https://padlet.com/skmoya/yatvs1wgb66ncnrg/wish/1888735331 jemorocho62 https://padlet.com/skmoya/yatvs1wgb66ncnrg/wish/1888735473 The evaluation should be permanent and continuous, allowing the student to be placed in the level according to their skills achieved during the teaching-learning process.]]> 2021-11-14 03:19:21 UTC https://padlet.com/skmoya/yatvs1wgb66ncnrg/wish/1888735473 skmoya https://padlet.com/skmoya/yatvs1wgb66ncnrg/wish/1889400852 When we want to know the percentage of what the student has learned, it should generally be done continuously after each subject, not to stress the student, but to know as teachers if our knowledge is being well imparted or if we are failing.
Diagnostic tests at the beginning of the school year help the teacher to mark a ranking of what they are learning.

which will help us establish timelines according to the objective set from the beginning. 
How will it be sequenced
how will time and resources be allocated
how the gap will be improved
how the project will be developed

No skipping steps, I can't evaluate something I haven't taught you.
Resources must be commensurate with the activities I can't spend class time doing a 5-question evaluation. 
A project requires several days of preparation and its evaluation would be with a brief explanation through a demonstration.

Therefore, conducting an analysis of the student's needs and preferences helps teachers to put in place the best strategy to make them feel comfortable while learning English and also to achieve the desired results.

Knowing how much each student has advanced is the important point to guide the didactic activities of the language to be learned. It is important that teachers guide the student's path to have good results and reach the expected purpose.
