UNIT 14
Learner
needs
This unit talks about how to provide effective learning activities which
give learners choices around tasks and activities and create active learning. It can also include
supporting the progress of the most able through enrichment of learning through
exploration of different contexts within a level.
First of all, what are learner’s needs? I found out that when a learner
learns a foreign language exist
various kinds of needs which influence on his/her language. They could be
personal needs, learning need and professional need. Cognition needs to have explanations which are comprehensible; to
have misunderstandings and
misconceptions identified and rectified. On the other hand, we also have
motivational factors (the need to be motivated to learn) to expect success and
progression in learning to recognize purpose in the learning process. In addition, we have to value the skills and
knowledge acquired in school. So,
Learning needs of specific ways
of learning, specific target language,
specific language sub skills, exam strategies, learner autonomy and working at
a suitable level.
Finally, learner’s needs helps to
motivate learners and make the course seem relevant to them. We need to focus
on what learners need because this may be the way in which we can find how to
apply an intrinsic motivation.
