Needs Analysis is the beginning of setting up an English language course, and the basis of developing a course. We should define needs from these two aspects --goals and objectives because they are the basic elements to develop testing, materials, teaching activities and assessment strategies. It is an inseparable part of a language course design. This essay introduces the ways and steps of needs analysis, and the purpose is to emphasize the significance of needs analysis and its functions in modifying teaching methods, and developing teaching effects.
