ABSTRACT:BE (Business English) teaching is very important for students to learn business knowledge, and as the development of global economy, there are a number of approaches to the study of this topic. The purpose of this thesis is to make a research on BE situational teaching based on Needs Analysis. Needs analysis is a widely used tool to study the validity and relevancy of SLT (Situational Language Teaching Model). It guides students’ Business English skill learning through variously vivid and concrete scenes, which can meet the needs of students’ future practical workplace requirements. This research applies Hutchinson & Waters's theoretical framework of needs analysis to survey 40 students in Business English major and 11 employees who are working in different companies. In the process of investigation, the negotiation ability, dealing with complaints and promotion are the typical abilities that the students are needed. In this paper, three related business scenes will be applied to show SLT could help students improve in business skills and knowledge.
