dc.description.abstractIdentifying the students’ language needs is an essential first step to help them cope with the language difficulties they face in their academic study. As little attention has been given to needs analysis in Arabic context, the present study aims to identify the academic English language target needs of the Faculty of Applied Science (FAS) undergraduate students at Al-Aqsa University (AU). To accomplish this aim, the conceptual framework of the study is based on Social Constructivism Theory and Structuration Theory in addition to Hutchinson and Waters’ (1987) framework of target needs analysis in which the learners’ target needs are divided into three parts: ‘Necessity’, ‘Lacks’ and ‘Wants’. The study is based on both quantitative data and qualitative data collected from three sources: the Undergraduate Students, the FAS Staff Members, and the English Language Lecturers. The quantitative data are collected through questionnaires, and the qualitative data are obtained from semi-structured interviews and student journals. With the help of SPSS, the quantitative data are analyzed in the form of frequency counts, percentages, means, and standard deviations. The qualitative data are deductively analyzed.en_US
