What kind of needs should be analyzed among university students in China? We should think over that analysis involves objective needs and subjective needs. A large number of students majoring in English in university in China learn English as their second foreign language. Some of them are successful learners, while most of them have encountered various kinds of diculties. It is vital and necessary for language teachers to help those language learners who have problems during their learning process.
