I use this lesson with a mixed ability Beginner Adult ESL class. It is an integrated reading and writing lesson on the topic of language learning needs. The concept of language learning needs is introduced by a short reading text. By using this lesson with your students you will help them to become active language learners as well as learn the language to talk about their studies in general. This will work as a Back to School activity or any other time. It will help you find out more about your students and their needs and expectations.
What’s included?
- a reading text
- 3 x reading tasks of varying difficulty
- Vocab related to language learning
- Extension activities – grammar focus
- Completing forms
- Guided writing
This lesson can be used in several ways:
•with total beginners – supported by a lot of scaffolding by the teacher
•at the beginning of the year/course to help you learn more about your students
Using a Needs Analysis gives you, the teacher, an insight into what the students need to learn and how they prefer to learn. But more importantly it will help you plan appropriate and relevant lessons specifically for them. Additionally, adult students appreciate that you are taking the time to find out about them and their needs.
A Needs analysis is an important tool for all student centred Adult ESL classes. At beginner level it can be a bit tricky to obtain detailed information but with this highly structured and scaffolded resource you, the teacher, will be able to gain some valuable information about your students. At the same time your students will be learning some useful language and skills.
Like all my resources, this lesson is designed specifically for adults. It incorporates language that adults will need to use and situations that are relevant to adult learners.
This resource may include some Australian/UK language and prints to A4 paper.
If you want to expand on this lesson, I do have a much more difficult Intermediate level, Needs Analysis lesson , in my store. But it is quite a lot more difficult than this one.

Goal Setting - Adult ESL Beginners - Back to School - Bundle
This goal setting bundle is designed for multi level Adult ESL Beginners classes It will enable students to learn the language for talking about goals and language learning needs and empower them to set their own goals and talk about them with confidence. The vocabulary lesson is best done first (or perhaps integrated into the goal setting lesson) to pre teach some of the vocabulary needed for the other 2 resources. The lessons can be used in several ways: •with total beginners – supported by a lot of scaffolding by the teacher •at the beginning of the year/course (Back to School) which will also help you learn more about your students •as a review lesson for ongoing students using the extension activities There is plenty of opportunity to differentiate learning according to your students’ levels and needs. I have provided alternatives for some of the activities and suggested ways to adapt for others. As in all my lessons, the language is presented in a context that is relevant to adult students with language that they will be able to use in their everyday lives. In these lessons the context is long term and short term goals and learning needs with supporting vocabulary. For more detailed inclusions please refer to the individual products The lessons will work as a Back to School activity or any other time.
