It examines the nature of streaming video, the context for implementing video streaming of lectures, and considers the benefits and problems arising from integrating such a form of technology into a teaching methodology course for trainee teachers.
Munby’s ‘needs analysis’ model and ESP
The aim of this paper is to discuss some criticisms made of Munby’s (1978) book ‘Communicative Syllabus Design’ with a particular focus on Munby’s ‘needs analysis’ model. It also points out some validity of this model in ESP (English for Specific Purposes) course design.
