THE IMPORTANCE OF NEEDS ANALYSIS IN MATERIALS DEVELOPMENT IN THE ESP COURSE
Keywords:
materials development, non-linguistic specialty, needs analysis, objectives.Abstract
The systematic and continuing procedure of gathering information on learners' preferences and needs, evaluating the information, and subsequently implementing curriculum judgments relying on the perception in favour of satisfying the requirements is known as "needs analysis." Prior to developing English for Specific Purposes teaching materials, it is critical to conduct a need analysis, which is especially important for ESP instructors. As stated, the bulk of specialists challenged whether ESP practitioners must likewise meet learners' on-going perceptual needs, such as self-awareness, consciousness about goal setting, personal goals, and educational expectations.
