Abstract
This study delves into the significance of conducting a needs analysis in language acquisition and its influence on the academic achievement of students. Through comprehending the specific language, communicative, and cultural requirements of each learner, educators can customize their instructional approaches to establish personalized learning encounters. The study highlights the importance of needs analysis in fostering student engagement, improving learning outcomes, and guiding instructional practices. It also investigates various types and techniques of needs analysis that need to be carried out.
