Richterich, and Chancerel (1997) put a particular emphasis on
present situation analysis (PSA). As Flowered (2013) stated a
present situation analysis draws attention to the gap between
what students are able to do with language at
the beginning of
the course and what they need to do at the end of the course.
whereas the target situation analysis is concerned with “ needs,
” the present situation analysis addresses learners ’ “ lacks ” and
“ wants, ” three aspects addressed at length in Hutchinson and
Waters (1987).
Douglas (2000) suggested to have tests based
on speaking and
communicating as it opens more chances to analyze.)
