ELI Curriculum Needs

Abstract

This study investigates diverse perspectives on ELI curriculum needs. It particularly attempts to obtain comprehensive needs about the program through student survey, interviews with faculty from various departments and with directors of other English programs, and observation report and student evaluation. By reporting different opinions on the program, it reports strengths and weakness of the program. In general, its curriculum organization and its focus on academic English skills development are satisfied, but detailed curriculum issues such as its relatively less-focused speaking training and lack of writing across curriculum can be improved. This report summarizes some recommendations for program improvement.
