Needs Assessment: Interview

Hand out to half the class interview questions. They go around to the other students and ask them the questions. They record their peer’s answers in full sentences (ex. What’s your name? Su. Her name is Sue.). After some time, have students switch who asks the questions.

1.      What country are you from? (I come from ______. She comes from __________.)

2.      Who is your best friend?

3.      Where do you live now?

4.      Why do you want to learn English?

5.      What is your favourite hobby?

This needs assessment helps students to get to know each other. As a teacher you can learn about your student’s lives, you can hear their speech and observe their writing grammar skills.
