Prior to designing syllabuses (especially in institutions where the teacher is free to make decisions independently), students' needs should be taken into account. What is needs analysis? Needs analysis is a process of collecting and analyzing information about learners in order to set goals and contents of a language curriculum based on their needs (Kayi, 2008). It examines what learners already know and what they need to know (Nation & Macalister, 2010). Many scholars indicate that knowing about learners' needs such as "their learning objectives, language attitudes, expectations from the course" are necessary in order to design an efficient curriculum (Brindley, 1984; Nunn, 1988, Xenodohids, 2002, et Kayi, 2008). Asking learners for suggestions and advice stimulates the act of learning and students' overall performance. The paper will, therefore, introduce needs analysis in a case study conducted at IBU with students of the ELT department. It will provide general hypothesis, research questions and applied questionnaire, overall conclusions, feedback and further implications.
