  ABSTRACT: Within the spectrum of English for Specific Purposes (ESP), needs analysis (NA) is the first and obligatory step. Based on NA studies, this paper makes an NA proposal for a short English training course for bank tellers in a Chinese bank to illustrate the actual implementation of NA procedures. This proposal pinpoints the NA types, sources of information and data-collection methods, with the rationale explained for those choices.
