Abstract
This article discusses one of the crucial steps in the development of a curriculum for an online course of Brazilian Portuguese to international students: the needs analysis. The study relies on a theoretical framework for curriculum in language courses, pragmatics for language teaching, and the impact of a solid needs analysis for the curriculum. Results suggest that, besides the complexity of choosing questions and verifying the patterns in the answers, a needs analysis is a valuable tool for profiling an academic community and identifying lacks and wants in a teaching and learning process.
