3, Needs of my Community

My group; Ayaka, Haruna, me, Taku, Yuka in value’s class discussed about the Needs and Gap analysis for teaching English to Thai workers in RIST, and then I thought how I can contribute myself for my community. Those who are parents mostly do not have ability to speak and use English, thus, we made decision and planned a program use our experience in English life for them. We have experiences which is a being thought English by Japanese teachers and foreigners. Therefore, we have more ways to teach it than people who do not have such experiences. In fact and according to our survey, Japanese parents want to learn English for they have probabilities to teach Englishness articles or events. As the beginning and end of each term, they have to go school and face to teachers, so it is not wondering that they want to learn one. In addition, some of them would like to make foreign friends. Fortunately all they live in Sukhumvit, we can assemble at same place easily. As for the way of teaching, we infer that a teaching basic vocabulary, using picture and using dictionary as they read kind story of book are necessary for the beginning of English learner. Parents said that they can pay until 100bath per lesson, and hope one to one half ours on Sunday. We plan that the lesson is at someone’s house, it’s for a decreasing expenses of materials. We want to be happy by knowing English, for that, we want to achieve exactly it.

  1. You have not addressed the part of the prompt that asks, tell why a needs/gap analysis is a good idea. You really must read the prompt carefully and re-read your response to make sure you have answered it.
