Developing courses in English for specific purposes - Helen Basturkmen, c2010

Book | Essential | This core book has been chosen as it gives a good introductory
overview of the areas of ESP that need to be covered in section one and has case studies
in section two that give a good overview of the range of teaching and learning contexts
that ESP can cover. These summaries of cases are also a useful way into the main
assignment.

Second language needs analysis - Michael H. Long, 2005
Book | Essential | This gives perhaps the best look at both the theory and practice of
Needs Analysis with a number of samples of actual instruments in appendices. See

Needs Analysis (7 items)

Some specific books on Needs Analysis

Introducing needs analysis and English for specific purposes - James Dean Brown, 2016
Book | A good up to date book on needs analysis - has a strong background in
quantitative techniques but has come to the conclusion that qualitative NAs are more
insightful: "I have come to realise that Needs Analyses generally lend themselves to using
qualitative research methods rather than to quantitative methods." (p144)

Further Reading (46 items)

This covers a range of texts from ESP specific books but also includes areas that link to
course design, teaching methodology, testing, skills and strategies - which are all relevant
to ESP and the work we do for the main assignment. There are some references to key
books in language description (e.g. discourse/ grammar/ corpus linguistics) but I am
assuming that you have knowledge of the module Descriptions of English. Please see the
reading for this module (P70015) via the library main page.
