Abstract
This research paper provides a primary thorough needs analysis process for Algerian aeronautics leaners and novice professionals at Aures Aviation Academy. The literature review shed light upon the International Civil Aviation Organization linguistic requirements and the current state of the ESP course at the academy. Accordingly, a hypothesis was set as a tentative answer for two research questions. The process was undertaken via collecting data by administering two questionnaires, two semi-structured interviews and a non-participant classroom observation procedure. The analyzed data were taken into account to answer the research questions through triangulation in data collection methods and sources of information to validate the research outcomes.
