Study and analysis of training needs in teaching a foreign language to adults. Literature review, examples, procedures, research

Summary/Abstract: This article presents a literature review on the study of learning needs of adults in teaching and learning foreign languages at specialist and general language courses. Needs analysis, which includes not only linguistic issues, but also learning styles, educational experience, roles and social functions that the learner fulfils and in which he or she will use the language, allows to create a curriculum tailored to the needs of an individual, group and educational institution. The author presents various approaches to the description of needs in terms of the researcher’s point of view and the purpose of the analysis. The author suggests that more attention should be payed to the learning needs analysis in general language courses and presents an example of a learning needs analysis conducted during a course at the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw. The article may become an inspiration for teachers to carry out needs analysis at all stages of the language course as it presents issues that the teacher-researcher should consider in order to obtain results helpful in his or her work.
