1-We think of putting each case and see what suit it from the EOP or EAP:
1- Learners know their language need from their job experiences.
This can suit EOP people who have been working for some time and they know their needs as they have been exposed to the field.
2- Teacher must foresee language needs.
This can be applicable easily for both EOP and EAP however that should take place before being exposed to the field.
3- Needs can be easily identified.
This can be possible for student who are in the field of either EOP or EAP and they experienced the life of their fields.
4- Learners need language to talk about thing that they already knew.
This is also can be applicable for learners who have some experience in the field of their study or work.
5- Learners need English to introduce themselves to a new area of knowledge.
This can be applicable for learners who have not have any knowledge of their future study whether they are EOP or EAP.
6- Terminology of the field is known for learners.
This can be easily known that is applicable for learners who are Post-experience as EOP or in-sessional as EAP.
7- Learners are in need for field terminology.
This can be practical for EOP who has no experience or pre-sessional EAP learner.
8- Focused, short and expensive courses.
This is what experienced workers need.
9- Teaching in small group.
This is one of the needs that EOP learners whether experienced or not need to have.
10- Longer courses with huge number of student.
This can be great for learners in pre-sessional courses where could school gather learners of certain field together.
2- Teacher should a kind of needs analysis to help him knowing the level of his learners, and present some materials that enhance them to talk, because they might be asked by tourists, for example about the attractions of their city.

Your answers for the Bolitho et al. task are fine. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThe second task, about the needs of hotel front desk staff, is dealt with a little briefly! However, we did discuss this in class later, so you now have a better idea about the range of possible needs.
