Environment analysis
- it is also called
- situation or constraint analysis
- it finds
- factors from teachers, learners and teaching and learning situation
- The importance of these factors depends on
- if the course will be a good course even if the factor is removed
- duration and level of its negative impact
- Environment constraint
- take into account
- institutional and
government policies
regarding the
target of the user
of language
- to figure out if
the language is
important or
relevant for the
country
- If the student will
have the
opportunity to
speak the language
outside the
classroom
- main constraints
- time available, cultural
background, class size, the
effect of the language to be
taught
- It impacts
- course goals, what and how
to teach, assessment
- It determines
- If the course will or wont be usable
- Implications
- The language setting,
patters of language use in
society, political and national
context, group and individual
attitudes, the language
setting, teacher and student
background, main purpose of
course, students motivation,
class size, location of the
course program, strategy to

- Steps of
environmental
analysis:
- • 1 Brainstorm the
environmental factors that
will impact the course flow
and goals
- • 2Choose the 5 most
important factors
and prioritize them
- 3.• Investigate the
environment or research
theory to take actions with
the constraint.
- 4.• Consider the effect of the
factor on the course design.
- 5.• Review the whole process.
- Understanding constraints
- Example:
constraint of time
- 1 observe local environment
- 2.looking at previous research
about how long would a person
learn a second language
depending on background and
the language to be learned
- 3.• Considering the effect of
the constraint on the design
of the course
- as curriculum designers we have two options
- To overcome the constraint
- to work within the time constraint
- The goals of the course have to be
limited and fit the available time
