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.

领域分析：针对特定目的的语言的基于研究的逆向设计

这项研究引入了一种以证据为中心的方法来对特定领域的语言（LSP）课程进行反向设计，这称为域分析。本文介绍了该研究框架及其潜力，可通过在西班牙法律背景下使用领域分析报告一项研究，从而为LSP的必要分散领域提供一致的经验严谨性。研究问题检查了所研究领域的参数（在一所大学的法学院学生的法定西班牙语）以及这些学生的目标职能成果。结果包括在美国范围内仅限于公共利益法的参数。出现了八个主题领域，成为该上下文的中心，并确定了阅读，听和说的功能成果。尽管视觉翻译是必不可少的技能，但领域内不需要写作。
