As a result, the researchers carried out an investigation into the needs of the students of the IRKH programme at IIUM. A quantitative-cum-qualitative research methodology was adopted, with questionnaires, interviews and researchers' observations being the main data-gathering tools. In order to ensure that the information regarding the needs of the students was identified in an in-depth and comprehensive manner, attempts were made to include, in addition to the IRKH students, ASP practitioners at IIUM, content lecturers and administrators. The needs and wants of the students were identified and recommendations were made as guidelines for designing an ASP course for IRKH programme at IIUM.
