1. The document discusses needs analysis for an ESP (English for Specific Purposes) course. It focuses on analyzing target needs, or what language skills learners will need in their field, and learning needs, or how learners learn best. 2. Target needs are analyzed by observing the situations learners will use English and determining which language skills they currently lack. Learning needs consider why learners are taking the course, how they learn, available resources, their backgrounds, and course details. 3. Both target and learning needs are important to consider for ESP course design. A needs analysis should not be a one-time event but an ongoing process to ensure the course meets learners' needs.

4. 1. Target Needs :
- What are the target needs?
- Gathering information about target needs?
2. Learning Needs :
- Learning needs
- Analysing learning needs

5. Why do Learners need to
learn English?
Needs can be specified
ESP
“Concern on awareness
of needs”

6. 1. What are Target Needs?
“Target Needs” What the learner needs to do in the target situation
Target Needs
Lack
WantNecessities

7. Observing what situation the learner will need to
function in and then analysing the constituent parts
of them
Need to know the learner already, so that you can then
decide which of the necessities the learners lack
Necessities
Lack

8. “…. Need doesn’t not exist independent of a person. It is people
who build their images of their need in the basis of data
relating to themselves and their environment.”
Objective Subjective
View of needs can, and do, conflict, with a consequent de-stabilising
Want
Effect on
Motivation

9. 2. Gathering Information about Target
Needs
There are a number of ways in which information can be gathered about needs :
Needs Analysis Not a once-for-all activity Continuing process
Conclusions drawn Constantly checked and re-assesed
Questionnaires Interviews Observation
Data collection
Informal
Consultations

10. Interpretations of needs can vary according
to the point of view of the particular
respondent
A Target Situation Analysis Framework
Why is the language needed?
How will the language be used?
What will the content areas be?
Who will the learners use the language with?
Where will the language be used?
When will the language be used?

11. 3. Learning Needs
In ESP Classroom
Make it more interesting or
humorous
In General English
Generate the
motivation needed
Long Text
and Dull

12. The Target Situation Not reliable indicator of what is
needed or useful in the ESP Learning
Situation
• Can determine destination
• As a compass to give general direction
Choose our route :
The vehicles guides available
(The conditions of the learning situation)
The learner’s mind
(Their knowledge, skill & strategies)
The learner’s motivation

13. 4. Analysing Learning Needs
To analyse learning needs, we can use a similar
checklist to that used for target situation analysis :
Why are the learners taking the course?
How do the learners learn?
What resources are available?
Who are the learners?
Where will the ESP course take place?
When will the ESP course take place?

14. CONCLUSION
Must be taken into account
TARGET SITUATION NEED
Concerned with language use
LEARNING NEEDS
Approach to need analysis

15. Why do these learners
need to learn English?
What the different General
English and ESP?
What do we mean by
‘needs’?
