THE DEFINITION OF ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS
Involves looking At the factors that will have a strong effect on decisions about the goals
of the course, what to include in the course, and how to teach and assess it.
Environment analysis is also called “situation analysis” or “constraints analysis”.
AN EXAMPLE OF ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS
Contrains of second language
There was very limited class time and contact time with English.
There would be a drop in the learners
They could communicate more easily
There was a range of levels of proficiency
Effect of Constrains Of second language
Parents should be guided
The activities should be fun
Some of the activities should carry over to the next class
The activities should be largely teacher
Most of the activities should be meaning-focused
ENVIRONMENT CONSTRAINTS
Environment constraints will start analysis of three
elements such as:
Nature of Learners
Nature of Teachers
Situation
Therefore, we need to set of goals in course like a table below.
UNDERSTANDING THE CONSTRAINTS
In order to understand a constraint fully, it is usually necessary to examine the nature of
the constraint in the environment you are working in, and to examine previous research
on the constraint.
Some of the major constraints investigated by research and analysis include the time
available, cultural background, the effect of the first language on language learning and
special purposes.
The following section looks at time as an example of an important constraint in the
environment, and provides information that would be useful in helping to plan the length
of a course.
The constraint of Time
Examining the local environment
Useful to know how much class time is available, how much time out
of class could be given to learning, and what the goals of the course
are.
Looking at previous research
Useful to decide directive in designing of course and be consideration
a good course
Considering the effect of the constraint on the design of the course
-Working within the constraint
-Working overcoming the constraint
Brainstorm and then systematically consider the range of environment
factors that will affect the course
STEPS IN
ENVIRONMENT
ANALYSIS
Choose the most important factors (no more than five) and rank
them, putting the most important first.
Decide what information you need to fully take account of the factor. The
information can come from investigation of the environment and from
research and theory.
Consider the effects of each factor on the design of the course.
Go through steps 1, 2, 3, and 4 again.
