Description The study seeks to propose a teaching model to develop English language proficiency
newlineamong students enrolled in management programmes in Kerala. The identification of the
newlineexact nature of the proficiency problem is done through a pilot test on a sample section of
newlinethe population in this study. Having pinpointed the problem, the model, which is a
newlinesynthesis of the task-based model and the original English for Specific Purposes (ESP)
newlinemodel for curriculum design, is drawn up. Incorporated into this framework is the
newlineproposed teaching methodology which combines the concepts of consciousness-raising
newlinewith the traditional task based teaching methodology.
newlineOn the basis of the model, a needs analysis is carried out at the b-school level and at the
newlinecorporate level. The findings of the needs analyses are used to formulate the course
newlinedesign, the teaching learning process and the ongoing assessment.
newlineThe course thus formulated is then applied in an experimental study on a sample of the
newlinepopulation. A partial intervention is implemented to study the efficacy of the new
newlinemethodology in the achievement of one of the course objectives. A before after testing
newlineprocedure on a control and experimental group is used and the results are analysed and
newlineinterpreted.
newlineKeywords: teaching model, needs analyses, task-based, consciousness raising, ESP
newlinemodel, course design, teaching-learning process.
