English for Islamic Studies or EIS is a new branch in English for Specific Purposes (ESP). At the moment there is no specific tailor-made syllabus and materials designed specifically in this field. The focus of this paper is on the importance of needs analysis and how it helps in the process of materials designs. It also provides input to produce materials for English for Islamic Studies. Articles on Needs Analysis, material designs and Islamic Studies were reviewed to find out the best method in designing the best tailor-made syllabus and materials to be used in EIS. This paper explains the different approaches in needs analysis and also various types and categories of materials used in related studies. The paper aims to provide readers with new information in designing materials for any Language for Specific Purposes programs.
Bahasa Inggeris bagi Pengajian Islam adalah cabang baharu di dalam dunia Bahasa Inggeris bagi Tujuan Khusus. Pada masa sekarang tiada lagi silibus dan buku teks yang dihasilkan mengikut keperluan pelajar-pelajar Pengajian Islam. Oleh kerana itulah kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengenalpasti bagaimana analisa kehendak ataupun ‘Needs Analysis’ boleh membantu dalam penghasilan silibus dan bahan ilmiah yang bersesuaian dengan kehendak pelajar-pelajar ini. Fokus pada penulisan ini adalah kepada konsep-konsep yang berbeza yang menjadi tunjang kepada penghasilan boring soal selidik kehendak ataupun ‘Needs Analysis questionnaire’.
