Development Course

Till recently freshmen at all the departments of the Faculty of Humanities of Dhaka University compulsorily attended a centrally conducted English language skills development course titled the English Foundation Course. Since 2006 the Foundation Course was discontinued and replaced by individual courses conducted by the respective departments. However neither the English Foundation Course nor the present individual courses were designed on the basis of Needs Analysis - the primary pre-requisite of any curriculum design nor have they ever been evaluated. This article presents the findings of a formal needs analysis and evaluation conducted by the researcher.

The overall aims of this study are to conduct a needs analysis of curriculum design of the “Human Rights, Citizenship and Democracy” course for the teacher candidates at the Department of Classroom Teaching and to propose a curriculum design. In this study, convergent parallel mixed methods design comprising both qualitative and quantitative data collection is used. In the qualitative aspect of the needs analysis, in-depth interviews with eight primary school teachers who taught or have been teaching the “Human Rights, Citizenship and Democracy” course in the fourth year of the primary school, three instructors from Department of Classroom Teaching at the Faculty of Education who are teaching a course with similar content and six teacher candidates registered at the 4th grade of the same department were counducted. Based on the interview results, a “Needs Analysis Questionnaire” was developed by the researchers and used for the quantitative dimension. The questionnaire is applied to 80 teacher candidates who are 3rd and 4th grade classroom teacher candidates in a a state university in Istanbul. Qualitative data were analyzed through the content analysis carried out by using NVivo11 analysis software. In the analysis of the quantitative data, a descriptive analysis was made by using SPSS.20 software package. According to results, It is seen that the teacher candidates are barely knowledgeable about the child rights; and that the teacher candidates appreciate the learning outcomes of the course design, and yet they consider themselves quite incompetent for these learning outcomes. Additionaly, the results demonstrated that an education programme on human rights, citizenship and democracy should be offered to the teacher candidates as a must course. In line with the results of the needs analysis, an education programme design model on human rights, citizenship, democracy and child rights is proposed.

The needs analysis cannot be separated from the development of materials and curriculum design for language learning, especially ESP. The research about ESP, especially the topic of need analysis still needs to be explored. Thus, this research aims to identify language skills needed and develop English teaching materials at Politeknik Gihon. The subjects of this study were 45 ongoing students and six former students. The result of the study revealed the perceptions of the students’ needs for their current studies and future career and how the English material should be designed in this institution. This study contributes in developing the teaching material and proposed a redesigned of ESP course.

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.
