TESL 0140- Unit 1- Needs Assessment
Needs assessment plays an important role in the ESL classes. The teachers usually give it to the students at the beginning of the class to demonstrate students' goals and needs. It will help the teacher to provide appropriate materials and tools for students to help them reach their goals through the course.
This needs assessment is for beginner levels ( CLB 1-4). The teacher would ask the students to prioritize the topics they are interested in learning about by giving a number.
