Abstract: Amidst this unprecedented digitized impact on teaching/learning process, Yemeni EFL curriculum has not unfortunately experienced any official development on its micro-meso-macro levels to meet the up-to-date-future-innovative EFL needs since 1995-1996. This study investigated EFL writing needs of Grade 12 students on the light of this digital era mainly from the perception of students, EFL teachers and supervisors at public schools in in Al-Dhihaar and Al-Mashanah Districts, Ibb City. A qualitative-quantitative research design was applied using semi-structured interviews with five EFL Supervisors and an open-ended questionnaire with random sample of 356 students and 19 EFL teachers. Means, Standard Deviation, T-test and Mann-Whitney Test were used. The results showed that the current ELT Curriculum is merely too old-fashioned to meet the students’ EFL writing needs in terms of its learning objectives, content and materials. Also, the identified EFL writing needs were very highly perceived by the students and their EEFL teachers with slightly statistical significant differences for the teachers benefits. Also, there were statistically significant differences between males and females for the benefit of males. The findings confirms practical implications for Yemeni EFL Curriculum stakeholders that a large-scale Needs Analysis should be conducted as the cornerstone for developing the current traditional ELT Curriculum to meet Grade 12 students’ up-to-date EFL writing needs.
