ABSTRACT: The
study makes a need analysis of 70 English majors based on Baoding University.
The focus of the study aims to find out the subjects’ actual learning needs and
their attitude towards the current curriculum. Results of the study mainly show the following aspects, i.e. the majority of the
students’ are basically instrumentally
motivated, therefore they have a preference for the career-development focused
courses. They also have a high evaluation of the current English curriculum and
believe it can basically satisfy
students’ learning needs, however, there are still some modifications that
should be made. The current study provides some references for the curriculum
design of Baoding University.
