Authors : Mebitil Nawal .
Abstract
Needs analysis is believed to be the core stone in the teaching/learning process. Its importance is reflected in students' participation in almost stages of the educationaf process. At this Level, il should be mentioned that ta know about our learners ' aims. their wants and lacks, besides, their expectations can be regarded as the starting point for the design' more or less, an efficient curriculum. However, if is not only the learners who p lay a central role in developing a curriculum, but it goes even beyond, to reach other actors associated with the design and implementation of language curricula. Al this point, situation analysis is, also, needed. The main aim behind the current paper is, therefore, to enlighten the process of developing an English for Specific Purposes curriculum based, fundamentally, on the results of' both; needs and situation analyses. The out cornes of observations of ESP students, questionnaires given to the apprentices, and interviews conducted wilh a number of ESP teachers point out a divergence among learners ' levels of English language proficiency. their needs, wants andfuture prospects. as well. Based on those results, implications are provided jar the design of an ESP curriculum at the level of the Physics department within the faculty of Exact Sciences of 'TLEMCEN University, ALGERIA.
