The aim of this study is to identify and analyze First year Master students of architecture needs and accordingly design lectures that would hopefully better meet their expectations. Thus, a needs analysis questionnaire and focus group discussion were conducted with the targeted population to fulfill the purpose of the research. Through using suitable statistical analysis, it has been found that an ESP course focusing on speaking and reading skills should be developed. Besides, this ESP course should include oral presentations, technical and semi-technical vocabulary, grammar activities and topics relevant to students’ area of specialization. Hence, the newly designed ESP course would enable students learn relevant specific language that would serve to prepare them adequately for their academic year and future career in their area of specialization. Finally, the study emphasizes the significance of implementing need analysis as an essential and crucial step in designing distinct types of courses, curricula and syllabuses.
