A needs analysis is one of the most crucial and main stages that assists to identify the learner’s desires, needs, and area of their weakness and strength. Moreover it helps to define their preferences, language level to design productive and successful. teaching and learning atmosphere. According to Burksaitiene (2008) needs analysis is the key to collect insider’s view of the ESP situation (p.330) and the views of chosen learners are of utmost importance. Dudley –Evans (2001) also stated that the main aim of the ESP course is to meet the explicit needs of the learners. It is believed that improving learner’s language proficiency to succeed on their field and academic field is based on a learner-centered approach. Saragih (2014) states that needs analysis is vitally important in designing teaching materials for English for Specific Purposes (p. 59). Therefore, collecting sufficient information concerning learners’ wants, needs and wishes is central to reach intended results that we set in front of us as a teacher.
