Abstract: 

This study examined and identified the perceptions of the undergraduate students at Garden City College for Science & Technology concerning their academic and linguistic needs, lacks, and aspirations. It also explored the subject teachers' attitudes on the students' overall performance with English Language. The aim behind the Needs Analysis in this study was to collect information, which when acted upon makes courses better adapted to students' subjective and objective needs. Another objective is to reach a collective awareness on the part of students, subject teachers, and other stakeholders so as to set an ESP frame for all the English Language courses provided at the college. 213 undergraduate students, from five different departments, in addition to 45 subject teachers have been selected, to constitute the main samples in this study.
