The types of needs analyses and effects of conducting needs analyses will be discussed in this research. There are a lot of ways to conceptualize the ESP/EAP course, as Taba (1962) stated:” Curriculum process includes 7 steps: diagnosing needs, formulating objectives, selecting and organizing contents, selecting and organizing learning experiences and identifying evaluations. Due to Hyland (2006) reliable and valid Needs analysis (NA) can be lead in three ways: through Triangulation which data collection based on research and sources; through Prolonged engagement which data base collected by observing and collection of information over a long time; through Participant verification by discussing with participants. Our current NA will cover all this phases partially. Morever the research will highlight the main components of needs analysis such as sutiation analysis and its impact on developing curriculum.
