摘要:Development of English language teaching materials for the school students’ requirements has been the concern of the Ministry of Education in Iran for many years. The current English language teaching materials have undergone a lot of revision since their inception in 1985. They still need to be revised in the light of the present-day concerns, needs of language learners and the language learning society. This being followed, a needs analysis was carried out and the results were analyzed and discussed. Furthermore, a brief subjective analysis was provided in order to compensate for the areas that were not sheltered by the data. The results of this study suggest that learner syllabus, as a network of knowledge that develops in learner’s brain, must be of crucial consideration in materials design for Iranian school students.
