Abstract
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. Key Words: Needs Analysis; Evaluation; Language skills and sub-skills; Course usefulness and difficulty; Classroom teaching style DOI: 10.3329/dujl.v2i4.6900 Dhaka University Journal of Linguistics Vol.2(4) August 2009 pp.59-91
直到最近，达卡大学人文学院所有系的新生都必须参加一门名为英语基础课程的中央管理的英语语言技能发展课程。自2006年起，基础课程停止运作，改为由各学系开办的个别课程。然而，无论是英语基础课程还是目前的个别课程都不是在需求分析的基础上设计的——需求分析是任何课程设计的首要先决条件，也没有对它们进行评估。本文介绍了研究人员进行的正式需求分析和评估的结果。关键词:需求分析;评估;语言能力和子技能;课程有用性和难度;课堂教学风格DOI: 10.3329/dujl.v2i4.6900达卡大学语言学杂志Vol.2(4) August 2009 pp.59-91
