Abstract

ORIG CZ

V originále

The paper reports on the results of a needs analysis survey carried out among former graduates of the Faculty of Law with the aim of determining relevant current and future needs of law students and graduates concerning their English language instruction. The outcomes of the research will be used in the innovation of language courses that is currently underway at the Language Centre of Masaryk University as part of the “Impact” project. Apart from reporting the results of the survey, which will affect the redesign of the syllabus for course “English for Students of Law”, the paper argues that there is a need for what can be termed “transferred needs analysis” whereby the target needs of students in the ESP classroom are specified not by the actual students but by former graduates whose “in-service” perspective is based on their actual working experience.

In Czech

Článek podává rozbor výsledků analýzy potřeb provedené na PrF MU mezi čerstvými absolventy s cílem stanovit priority pro inovaci kurzů odborné angličtiny. Ukazuje se, že potřeby studentů je nutné stanovit s ohledem na aktuální potřeby in-service studentů stejně jako reálné jazykové potřeby, které budou studenti potřebovat až za několik let po absolvování kurzu.
