Needs analysis, carried out to establish the “what” and the “how” of a course, is the first stage in English for specific purposes (ESP) course development, followed by curriculum design, materials selection, methodology, assessment, and evaluation. The analysis is discussed with participants and its “reality” verified by them. The needs analyses for English for occupational purposes (EOP) discussed in this chapter straddle both the academy and the professional workplace. The chapter discusses sources and methods used to collect data in needs analyses for ESP. It is evident from this chapter that English for academic purposes (EAP) rather than EOP has been the main focus of needs analysis enquiries. Two key forces are seen as driving future needs analyses and curriculum development in ESP: technologization and transnationalization, aspects of which are interrelated.
