Abstract
© Universidad de Alcala.In this study, a needs analysis instrument is designed, validated and applied to implement improvements in the teaching-learning of Spanish as a foreign language among Haitian adults in Chile. Its contribution consists of the creation of a set of items that explore the needs, interests, learning styles and strategies of the aforementioned community of learners. The instrument includes seven dimensions that allow us to inquire about the knowledge of the target language, the assessment of Spanish, the characteristics of the ideal SSL teacher, the organization and the classroom environment, the learning styles, the evaluation, and the motivation to study Spanish among Haitians. Once applied the needs analysis to a group of 113 learners, we validated it as an instrument in terms of its internal consistency, so that it could be applied to subsequent groups of Haitian learners who receive SSL classes in Chile. Finally, we summarize the results of the analysis of the 113 informants, providing didactic suggestions according to the data provided by our instrument.
