Abstract:
Identifying the target tasks of specialized learners via needs analysis (NA) is a crucial first step in language programs design. This research presents a needs analysis that explored the English language requirements of agricultural technicians. It examined how these needs are perceived by actors involved in agricultural industries and actors involved in the education of this group. Using a qualitative approach, data were elicited from document analysis and interviews with five technicians at one company and five teachers at one VET school. Findings revealed that English language was necessary for technicians to carry out specific tasks. All teachers agreed that their students should be taught not only general English, but also English that is relevant to the students interests and needs.
