Resumo
Este artigo é baseado nos resultados da tese de mestrado intitulada A Needs Analysis into the Compulsory English Courses of South Colombian University (USCO) [Uma Análise das Necessidades nos Cursos Obrigatórios de Inglês da Universidade Surcolombiana]. O estudo tem três objetivos: (1) identificar as limitações do ambiente que os professores sentem que afetam os cursos em questão; (2) identificar uma possível brecha entre as necessidades sentidas pelos alunos atuais e antigos e o treinamento em inglês que recebem na USCO; e (3) coletar sugestões das partes interessadas para futuras melhorias nos cursos. Os dados foram coletados através de questionários e entrevistas. Entre os participantes estavam estudantes atuais e antigos, professores e o supervisor do curso. Os resultados mostram que as necessidades dos alunos não estão sendo atendidas atualmente e que é necessária uma abordagem do inglês para fins específicos. Os professores experimentam uma falta de recursos educacionais e uma fraca coesão entre os colegas, enquanto o principal problema do supervisor é o orçamento.
