Analyzing English Language Learning Needs among Students in Aviation Training Program


Parvin Karimi, Reza Vahdani Sanavi

This curriculum development study applied mixed research methods: qualitative and quantitative, seeking for the learners needs in ESP course at an Aviation Training Program. The researchers used questionnaire and interviews to record the needs and problems. They found that the students still have low English proficiency  on the target skills: speaking and listening, and that the current course is far from their expectation and less effective in its implementation. As the students needed to improve their listening and speaking skills, the material (books) and class activities should lead the students’ to that way. This study leads the researchers, teachers, and syllabus-designers to evaluate curriculum development and implementation in ESP class to address learners’ needs. This is very crutial to help the student learn what they should learn.
