Students Needs Analysis in Iran UR - https://www.hausarbeiten.de/document/593790 N2 - Based on the various researches regarding ESP courses, a great deal of issues such as the origins of ESP, ESP practitioners, absolute and variable characteristics of ESP, curriculum design, ESP teacher training course and so forth have been the major concern for the researchers. However, the role of learners in the issues has been remained vague and untouched. Since the role of students as a crucial factor in developing an ESP course is neglected, students’ and teachers’ frustration, students' poor motivation and interest, ineffectiveness of the course and inflexibility of ESP course have come about. In the present study some appreciable points about the role of ESP students in developing a new course of ESP has been taken into consideration, aiming at introducing the ESP learners as indispensable part of ESP courses.
