A Study of College English Follow-up Module Teaching from the Perspective of Needs Analysis

摘要

Needs analysis plays an essential role in designing courses and provides the basis for choosing teaching objectives, teaching content, textbooks, teaching methods and evaluating teaching effects. The study is based on a questionnaire survey among 775 non-English undergraduate majors who have passed CET4 or CET6 test with the help of needs analysis and module teaching theories. It obtains information about students' needs for follow-up college English courses in the aspects of their purposes of learning English, the teaching content and modes of follow-up courses and the like. On the basis of the analysis of the survey, the study summarizes the current problems existing in the follow-up module teaching, and then puts forward a tentative framework for needs collection and response, teaching material resources, teaching time, examinations and evaluation, and extracurricular activities of College English follow-up module teaching courses, in order to provide some useful reference for college English reform nationwide.
