Abstract	This research study analyzes the target needs of EFL female Saudi students to choose EFL as their specialization. The population of the research is the female students enrolled in Bachelors in English program, at the Department of English Language and Translation, Qassim University Saudi Arabia. Adapting the Hutchinson and Waters model of Needs Analysis, the study covers the Target needs (i.e., Necessities, Lacks and Wants) and the Learning needs. It aims to suggest certain amendments in the curriculum on the basis of needs analysis. The sample for study consisted of 150 students, the data was collected through questionnaire and analyzed by using SPSS. Overall assessment of the data shows that the learners show their weakness in oral skills (i.e., Listening and Speaking) as compared to literary skills (i.e., Reading and Writing). Students have shown their preference for the incorporation of practical activities and media based teaching material in their syllabus. (As Provided).
