3. Environtment
Analys
The purpose of environment analysis is to
make sure that what happens is likely to be
successful because it takes account of the
local situation.

4. Environtment Analys
Every day teachers have to consider questions like the
following:
• Will this activity be interesting enough for my learners?
• Do I have enough time to do this activity?
• Will this activity be too noisy?
• Do the learners know how to do this kind of activity or
will I have to explain it to them?
• Will this activity create a lot of marking for me to do?

5. Needs Analys
One of the most common problems in teaching is
suiting the activities and material in lessons to a
class with a wide range of proficiency. Every day
teachers have to consider questions like the
following:
• Is this material too difficult for my learners?
• Is there something new for my learners to learn in
this activity?
• Will everyone in the class be able to cope with
this activity?

6. Principles
Every day teachers have to consider questions
like the following:
• Will this be a good activity for my learners?
• Are my learners doing enough reading?
• Is it good to get learners to memorise words
and phrases?
• Should I do the same activity again?
• Should my learners be doing homework?

7. All of these questions can be answered by
looking at principles of teaching and learning.
Information about teaching and learning can
come from research, but such information can
also come from teachers’ experience and
observation of teaching and learning. It is
always good to check these two sources
against each other.

9. Evaluation
Every day teachers have to consider questions like the
following:
• Is the course going well?
• Are the learners happy with the course?
• Am I happy with the course?
• Would other teachers think that my course is a good
course?
• Can I see ways in which I can improve the course?
• Did today’s lesson go well?
• Will I get through the course book by the end of the
course?
