• Determine the audience to confirm the information and illuminate the purposes of the process.

• Identify the target population from whom the information will be collected in order to determine it by sampling a representative group of the total population in terms of homogeneity (skills, attitude and knowledge).

• Select the approach to collect the information.

• In addition, there are various tools and techniques for collecting data when conducting a Needs Analysis process.

Example:

• Questionnaires

• Self-assessments.

• Interviews.

• Meetings.

•Observation.

• Task analysis.

• Collection of samples of the student's language.

• Task analysis,

• Case studies.

• Analysis of available information

The information obtained on the demands of the goal situation and the wishes of the students, together with the data on their professional aspirations and their motivation to study English, will provide us with important clues about what the communicative situations in which they will have to function well could be. This will serve as a guide to formulate appropriate objectives and content for the different teaching groups.

When the needs of the students are not identified, the program may lack the necessary teaching components for students to achieve mastery of the language and the academic achievements raised for this reason is to do it before starting the study program.

3.Determine the cause of the performance gap: This step is critical and sometimes leads beyond the lack of skills or knowledge such as the degree of motivation, the environment, the tools in learning, that is, it may be affecting the correct performance
