This study aimed to explore the urgency of the WriteMI application as digital basic writing teaching materials based on multiple intelligences approaches from the perspective of Indonesian students majoring in English Education. The population of this study consisted of all Indonesian students majoring in English Education, specifically those residing in the areas of Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi. Furthermore, the sample for this study was drawn from undergraduate students in the English Language Education program at Indraprasta University PGRI who were enrolled in basic writing courses. The instrument used was tested for both theoretical and empirical validation, as well as for reliability measures. Data were obtained from the respondents through a purposive sampling technique. They filled out a needs analysis questionnaire comprising five aspects: preparation, material content, display, language, and media presentation. The research revealed that almost all items in the needs analysis questionnaire for the WriteMI application category were strongly needed. There were five items categorized as needed and only one item categorized as not needed. Meanwhile, there were no items classified as strongly not needed. Students had a unique perspective on this phenomenon, believing that the presence of digital teaching materials for basic writing based on multiple intelligences approaches was strongly needed, with a total average score of 3.45. This indicates that the need for developing this teaching material model is significant and urgent.
