 note = {This paper presents reasons why EAP programs in Japanese universities should consider lexical needs analysis that is based on an analysis of error in learner writing within the university rather than needs analyses that rely solely on the word frequency counts and concordances of native corpora. The major reason is the time constraints faced by many EAP programs in Japan. While learner corpora have recently appeared, the paper argues that these corpora lack sufficient size and segmentation or sufficient analysis of error to allow them to be a substitute for a lexical needs analysis in a particular EAP setting in Japan. The university setting in which the analysis of error in learner text was conducted is described, and key features of its analysis and findings are presented. The relation between the findings and the decisions about the selection and use of customized instructional materials is explained, and some examples of these materials are presented.},
