  Abstract

The present article reflects the results of  a needs analysis survey carried out on a group of 52 students in a general English course at Islamic Azad University of Hamedan, Iran, in which a 32-item questionnaire adapted from Kavaliauskiene and Užpaliene (2003), Iwai et. al (1999) and Seedhouse (1994) has been used to investigate the students' conceptions of good learning of English expressed in terms of their own wants and lacks.
