Language Learning Materials Development

Activity # 2
Needs analysis in materials development is not just about understanding what
our learners need. It's about translating those needs into effective learning
resources

Objective: "Understanding and Applying Needs Analysis in

Materials Development"

Scenario:
In Sibuyan Island, Romblon, a local school has just received
a grant to develop new educational materials for their English
language program. The school wants to create materials that are
culturally relevant and engaging for their students. The school's
English teachers have been tasked with the project, but they are
unsure where to start. They decide to conduct a needs analysis to
determine what types of materials would be most beneficial for
their students. They survey the students about their interests and
learning preferences, and they also consult with the local
community to incorporate elements of the local culture and
environment into the materials.

Questions:
1. What is the purpose of the needs analysis conducted by the
English teachers in the scenario?
2. How are the local community and students involved in the
material development process in the scenario?

Instructions: Please write your answers on a sheet of yellow

pad paper. Complete your assignment and submit it by
