NEEDS ANALYSIS - OPTIONS

Take a levels test – demotivating Individual Surveys – lacks interaction

First class – want to break ice, encourage interaction

CONTEXT:

Engineering university Course: English Communication (speaking and listening skills, mixed levels)

Question: In what situations do these students want to be able to use English?

IDEA

What if students survey each other in English? Problem: Lack of vocabulary knowledge Solution: Small groups assigned 2 questions – work

out meaning together They then ask class mates from other groups these

questions (so they can explain them if necessary)

HOW CAN I GET THE DATA FROM STUDENTS?

MOODLE QUESTIONNAIRE – RECOMMEND?

Data can be downloaded freeSurvey Monkey – pay to download

Limitation – no ordering question option

ACTIVITY NOTES

Plenty of scaffolding (results presentation language, keep questions simple)

Good for a first class where students are already familiar with each other

Levels/needs can be detected through monitoring Preparation of questions and handouts was complex (5 copies

of 5 different sheets) Depending on time – Moodle might be pushed to next class

(signing in for first time etc.)
