Abstract

The significance of needs assessment in ESP is examined in this paper.  Since this is the initial stage of education, it is crucial to use the right techniques and resources to assess students’ requirements. The analysis’s findings will help teachers develop lesson plans and learning objectives that are suited to their students’ requirements, desires, and weaknesses. Needs analysis should therefore be given greater space because the rest will always be highly challenged if we do not employ the first principle to develop and produce exceptional materials. All new teachers should begin their year by using needs analysis on a small scale before determining what is best for both themselves and their students.
