Abstract

Listening is the primary method to access language information. It is an essential part of L2 (second language) teaching but also the most difficult skill to master for L2 learners. Based on this, it is necessary to analyze learners’ needs in listening. This article aims to conduct a needs analysis of a selected learner from Iraq and describe course material selection and design. Methods including questionnaires, interviews, and observation were used to collect data. Additionally, targeted 60-minute online listening activities were designed. It was found that listening activities can improve both listening and speaking skills. Thus, language teaching should be student-oriented, and subsequent course materials and activity design should be selected based on the analysis of students’ needs.
