GARCIA-PONCE, Edgar Emmanuell. Needs Analysis to Enhance English Language Proficiency at a Mexican University. profile [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.2, pp.145-162.  Epub 25-Oct-2020. ISSN 1657-0790.  https://doi.org/10.15446/profile.v22n2.82247.

This study examines the perceptions of employers, university authorities, English teachers and students concerning needs to promote English achievement in a Mexican university. By drawing on data collected from focus groups and questionnaires, the evidence suggests that there are several needs which hinder the attainment of English objectives in this higher education context. To address this, the participants’ perceptions are reformulated into a set of recommendations which might be beneficial for this context and other higher education institutions which seek to develop English language competencies in university students. The relevance of this study is that it shows how needs analysis can be used in higher education as a tool to identify needs and formulate context-sensitive solutions for enhancing English achievement.
