Thesis (M. A.(English Studies)) -- University of Limpopo, 2020 / Although the University of Limpopo (UL) students have been taught Business English
(BE) for a number of years, their needs were never formally analysed. Hence, an
exploratory research design was used to explore the needs of UL BE students, and a
qualitative approached was followed. Thus, students and lecturers in Accounting and
Financial Management were requested to fill in a questionnaire and to respond to
interview questions, respectively, to identify students’ needs which were later
analysed. However, Needs Analysis (NA) ought to be at the core of discipline-specific
teaching and learning because it is learner-centred. This essential NA exercise is at
the core of courses such as the UL BE one. Findings of this study indicate that
students’ as well as content lecturers’ input is authentic and remain invaluable to BE
courses as some of these mechanisms are vital for assisting lecturers fulfil students’
needs
