I think that too often I think that as an instructor of english, that my audience is always young learners (elementary school - junior high school students). However, this isn't always the case. To be honest I never gave Business English a thought. But this unit highlighted different approaches that you wouldn't normally with new students (i.e., Needs Analysis sheet). I think doing this is an excellent way of checking where your client stands and what his/her expectations of the course is/what they want out of it. Re-reading the bit about teaching children was refreshing in the sense that I was able to check-in with how I am currently doing, and what I could do better as a teacher (i.e., don't cheat by using their native language).
