Hey

Does anybody know any recent articles about 'needs analysis' - I'm looking for ones published from 2000-now.

Cheers,

Hi Andy,

I just did a quick Google Scholar on "EFL Needs Analysis" and came out with nearly 2,000 hits. Try it yourself and see if you can find anything. Some of the stuff there looks promising.

Another good idea would be to take some authors you know, type their names in, and see if you get anything that way.

Finally, have you tried scouring the reference section from the few articles you do have? More and more stuff is online these days.

Good luck, and let us know if you find anything good.
