Abstract

This article investigates how a questionnaire for needs analysis (NA) for Danish language courses for transnational knowledge workers, constructed at the Centre for Internationalisation and Parallel Language Use (CIP) at the University of Copenhagen (KU), can be used in a German language institution, the ZfS Zentrum für Schlüsselqualifikationen (Key Skills Centre) at the Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel (CAU). The compares the role of state and education system(s) when establishing curricula for Danish and German courses for occupational purposes at the CIP and the ZfS. German informants partaking in the survey assess that the questionnaire could be used at the ZfS, and generally invite a future use of NA there. General findings from the experience with needs analysis and the survey instrument as such, and advantages for other target groups beyond this individual case are reflected in the final discussion.
