Need analysis is an important stage in developing a second language curriculum. It involves conducting research through questionnaires or other methods to identify the needs, wants, motivations and aptitudes of language learners. Understanding learner needs helps determine curriculum objectives and allows teachers to design lessons that are relevant. Need analysis also aids in selecting and organizing the content and experiences included in the second language curriculum. Without properly analyzing learner needs, a curriculum may fail to achieve its goals.
