abstract = {Needs analysis, or needs assessment, is a well- established line of inquiry in the field of second 
language teaching and learning (Brown, 2009; Long, 2005), particularly in the sub- field of 
English for academic and specific purposes (Bocanegra- Valle, 2016; Brown, 2016; Flowerdew, 
2013). It has been defined as “the systematic collection and analysis of all information used 
for defining and validating a defensible curriculum” (Brown, 2016, p. 4), which means using 
empirical methods to identify learning needs that, in turn, influence curriculum design. This 
approach generally results in a language curriculum that is accepted by stakeholders as it sat
isfies their primary learning and teaching requirements.},
