Why do these
learners need to
learn English ?
Target needs
 1. What areTarget Needs ?

Necessities

Lacks

Wants
2. Gathering information about target needs

It follows from the above account that analysis of target

needs involves far more than simply identifying the
linguistic features of the target situation.
 Learning needs

Learning needs is the gap between the learner's current

level of knowledge and skills, and the level of knowledge
and skills required to perform a task or a set of tasks.
In the target situation they may need, for example, to red long,
dull or complex texts, but their motivation to do so may be high
because :

 They like the subject in general

 Examinations are looming
 Job / promotion prospects may be involved
 They may be going on to do very interesting experiments or
practical based on the texts
 They may lke and / or respect the subject teacher or boss
 They may be very good at their subject, but poor at english.

A framework for analysing learning needs

 Why the learners taking the course ?

 How do the learners learn ?
 What resources are available ?
