Resulst of the needs analysis and Rationale.

Results of the needs analysis.

My results of this project has been focused in how to learn in an effective way English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and English for Specific Purposes (ESP); in this case, I chose communicative English because people here need how to express and talk in a properly way. Because of this situation, obviously English not only needs speaking and listening, in this course of two months years, (Communicative and Auditive aspects; which are include in six months that are start in January to June).Also, I will include in my course  the last three months, Reading and Writing because I believe in the importance how to understand not only we can speak and listen to people, for this reason, they will have to get the capacity of doing a good writing process and reading in a structured way.

But, firstly we have to learn how to communicate and understand main and specific ideas when somebody is talking in another language (in this case English); then how we can write and read in a comprehensive, coherent and profoundly manner some briefs paragraphs, text, articles, etc. Finally, this course, in my opinion is a complete for beginners’ learners and if they want to learn more.

Rationale.

The importance of teaching and learning around the world is increasing because of the people’s needs (how they can express their ideas and feelings), and also for specific purposes like relationships between colleagues or friends. It depends of the context, English has transformated in a world language and well in this course I want to focus how we can learn to the students ESP. In this case, English as a tool of communication and expression in real life. This course is specially focused in oral language and of course in listening, recognizing the requirements and needs of how to speak and listen correctly when somebody is speaking to you in English. The another two skills like reading and writing I will consider in the last part because I believe if you speak and listen to in a good way, also another two skills will be easier for learning. It is important to learn writing as a process where you can build (editing and drafting) for making goods works in writing area; we don’t forget in reading process because it is important to focus in how to learn to read in a properly way. Finally, English needs the four skills because it is important learning in a effective way and applying to real life.

Profesión: Encargado de Asuntos de Relaciones Interiores y Exteriores.
Lugar de trabajo: Las Salinas, Viña del Mar, Chile.

1.- ¿Cuál es su necesidad por aprender inglés? ¿Cuál es el valor de saber el idioma? (Refiérase a su especialidad, por ejemplo, inglés para negocios, inglés técnico, etc). Fundamente su respuesta.

R: Mi necesidad por aprender inglés va enfocada en el aspecto comunicativo y de comprensión; cuando tenga que recibir personas del extranjero (que hablen inglés), por la necesidad de comunicar e informar sobre proyectos habitacionales y de construcción, en los cuáles, aparte de comunicarse se necesita dialogar en ciertos términos técnicos relacionados con la compra y venta de terrenos.

2.- ¿Qué aspectos del idioma desea reforzar (comunicacional y auditivo; escrito y lectura)? Dé una opinión de valor.
R: La verdad, por lo que usted me pregunta, creo que lo primero que deberíamos ver es lo comunicacional y auditivo, ya que, éstos serían fundamentales en el momento de tener que expresarme con otras personas que necesiten exponerme sus ideas acerca de proyectos e ideas que quieran desarrollar aquí en Viña del Mar. Pero, no debemos dejar de lado si usted profesor piensa lo mismo que yo, que en el ámbito escrito y de lectura sería ideal, que también nos enseñara inglés, debido a la gran cantidad de documentos, que, justamente están en el idioma inglés que debo analizar y sinceramente me cuesta comprender lo que allí dicen.

3.-  ¿Cree usted que sea importante que el profesor sea cercano cuándo le explique un contenido y se lo deba reforzar? Fundamente y responda adecuadamente.
R: Creo y siento que el profesor debe ser cercano a mí, por ende, pienso que la necesidad de sentir a un profesor más cerca del estudiante permite que puedan despejarse con más respeto y confianza las dudas que puedan emerger en mi proceso de aprendizaje, de este modo, poder conversar con el profesor.

Nombre: Liliana del Carmen Cantillano Valdés.
Edad: 61 años.
Profesión: Cuidadora de Niños.
Lugar de trabajo: Casa de un familiar de Villa Alemana.

1.- ¿Cuál es su necesidad por aprender inglés? ¿Cuál es el valor de saber el idioma? (Refiérase a su especialidad, por ejemplo, inglés para negocios, inglés técnico, etc). Fundamente su respuesta.

R: La verdad, quiero expandirme y poder cuidar niños y niñas de personas extranjeras (que hablen inglés) que vengan de vacaciones y que necesiten una cuidadora de niños, creo que sería una experiencia enriquecedora e interesante para mí, por este motivo, profesor decidí tomar su curso personalizado (porque somos pocos estudiantes y es ideal para aprender), ya que, para mí sería ideal poder tener contacto con otras culturas y aprender de sus gustos y costumbres, a través del habla y el poder comprender lo que me dicen (aspecto relacionado a los sonidos y la expresión de las palabras).

2.-  ¿Qué aspectos del idioma desea reforzar (comunicacional y auditivo; escrito y lectura)? Dé una opinión de valor.
R: Desearía poder reforzar el aspecto comunicacional y auditivo, eso para mí, como cuidadora de niños y niñas siento que es primera prioridad, después me interesaría lo que sería la lectura y escritura, en el caso de los niños y niñas que necesiten ayuda para expresarse en un modo básico de un idioma a otro (ser como su “traductora” de sus amigos y amigas).

3.-     ¿Cree usted que sea importante que el profesor sea cercano cuándo le explique un contenido y se lo deba reforzar? Fundamente y responda adecuadamente.
R: Sí, por supuesto, porque a mí me gusta que el profesor; explique muy bien y en detalle lo que enseña y además que sea cercano, que conozca mi realidad y las necesidades que tengo como cuidadora de niños. El profesor debe estar cerca y ser empático y tolerante y poder comprender como manejaría ciertas situaciones y circunstancias. La Educación debe ser de todos modos cercana  a la gente.
