Language Needs

Today’s international business scholars treat language as an issue at the heart of their subject area (Mughan 2015), as English language’s irreplaceable position as means of communication is considered essential for international businesses. Nevertheless, one of the main concerns of educational specialists is the relevance of their programmes to the graduates’ success in today’s highly competitive labour market. With that, a needs analysis study was sought to explore the English language needs of undergraduate accounting students at Universiti Putra Malaysia. A survey method was employed to 20 undergraduate accounting students for the purpose of this study. The data collected from the survey were analysed quantitatively using SPSS 22 programme. As the findings of this study pointed out, the participants prefer to be taught more in listening, speaking and writing skills as the needs for their study and future career. Henceforth, a highly structured ESP course for accounting students with integration of language skills, subject or field-special skills, derived from their needs should be designed.

This needs analysis study focused on acquiring feedback from trainee counselors for developing the Mobile Counseling Supervision System (MoCoss).This system was developed based on the Client Server framework. Based on this framework, MoCoSS would be developed in three phases; the Client phase, the Server phase and the integration phase. The questionnaire regarding the needs analysis was administered using Google form to acquire feebdack about the need for  mobile Counseling Supervision while undergoing the counselling internship. The needs analysis study was conducted on 57 respondents who comprised the unedrgraduates and the Masters degree students who were having their counselling internship in schools and other organisations. The findings showed that 67.3 percent of the respondents agreed that  the counselling internship should be conducted on-line to support the trainees‘ counselling tasks. The majority of the respondents also showed a positive attitude towards the usage of a mobile counselling supervision system in fulfilling the tasks of counselling internship. The needs analysis provided a basic framework for the development of a mobile counselling system for supervisors and the trainee counselors to support supervision in a conventional manner as well as to reinforce the management of filing and records system continuously during the counselling internship. As such, the development of a mobile Counselling Internship Supervision system could assist the academic supervisors, the supervising counsellors and trainee counsellors in becoming more systematic while fulfilling the  maximum 5 supervisions as stated by the Malaysian Counselling Board.

Illustrative Material

The first section of my paper provides a definition of the need for foreign languages in the business context and catalogues types and indicators of this need. In the second section the methods that can be employed in needs analysis studies are presented. Section three provides illustrative material from a questionnaire-based pilot survey. Taking the case of German companies, I investigate their expectations with regard to linguistic and cultural adaptation by their Danish business partners. Contrary to expectation, knowledge of German culture is regarded as more useful than German language knowledge. The educational implications of the findings of needs analysis studies are then dealt with in the fourth section.
