Isi artikel

This article describes an approach to ESP syllabus design that is derived from a mathematically-based analysis of language use data. The statistical technique of principal component analysis 1 can be used to assess needs questionnaire responses in terms of their underlying traits (families of variables). This breakdown of the data allows the syllabus designer to deduce a discourse model for the target population's communication needs. The article describes how this information can be activated to provide a model for ESP syllabus design whim integrates needs analysis results, discourse structure, and teaching model. It is suggested that the model derived constitutes a framework for the construction of more coherent courses with a high degree of face validity for both course participants and sponsors. The procedure put forward is described by reference to language data collected from a population of 400 technical employees of FRANCE TELECOM.
