“…If curricular development activism is to be achieved, an evidence‐centered, empirical approach to the course and program design that can be consistently applied to a wide variety of LSP courses and programs will be essential. Most publications describe courses and programs (e.g., Sánchez‐López, 2019) or highlight LSP research done on already‐developed courses using data from the student course content and surveys (e.g., Derby et al, 2017). Zeller and Velázquez‐Castillo (2018) used a needs analysis framework to design and deliver a certificate program in Spanish for animal health and care, but otherwise, LSP courses and programs have been developed as if instructors know the targeted performance outcomes and proficiency levels despite the lack of a rigorous empirical foundation informing course design.…”

This study introduces an evidence‐centered approach to reverse design for languages for specific purposes (LSP) courses called domain analysis. The article describes the research framework and its potential to provide consistent empirical rigor to the necessarily decentralized field of LSP by reporting on one study using domain analysis in the legal Spanish context. The research questions examine the parameters of the domain under study—legal Spanish for law students at one university—and the target functional outcomes for those students. The results included parameters that were limited to public interest law in the U.S. context. Eight topic areas emerged as central to that context and functional outcomes were identified for reading, listening, and speaking. Though sight translation was a necessary skill, writing was not needed in the domain.
