To face the Asian Economic Community, mastering English is very important so that people can compete with good workers from their own country or workers from other Asian countries. This study aims to find out (1) what are the problems faced by the students of the Faculty of Economics, Udayana University in learning English and (2) to know the English language needs needed by economic students at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Udayana University. Analysis of English language needs is done by giving questionnaires to students for them to answers, those questions concerning which field of English they are very proficient (speaking, listening, reading and writing) and which areas of English they find it difficult to learn, and choose what lessons they think are necessary which have not been provided in the current syllabus. The answers from these students will be analyzed according to the need analysis by Hutchinson and Waters (1994) and Dudley-Evans and St. John (1998). From this research, it is expected that students can improve their English language skills in economics.
