Özet
The common purposes of the studies conducted in language program evaluations
are to examine the match between what is desired for the programme versus the
actual state of the programme, to make judgments about learners’ level of skills
and knowledge, and to make suggestions for improvement. However, it is not
currently common practice in Turkey either to develop language teaching
programmes based on the Common European Framework as a reference, or to
introduce improvements in these programmes based on an evaluation of their
effectiveness. This study aims to describe the process of developing a new teaching
programme, taking CEF into consideration, at the Preparatory Programme at the
School of Foreign Languages, Izmir University of Economics, and also to evaluate
the effectiveness of the programme. 236 Freshman students and 48 faculty
members from 5 different faculties participated in the study. The results indicated
a significant relationship between students’ proficiency scores and perception of
their own competencies and a significant difference in perception of their own
competence in terms of levels at the preparatory program. Although faculty
members stated that Preparatory Program, in general, meets the needs of the
students, students still have difficulty in practising some tasks requiring higher
order thinking skills. The study suggests a series of learner training sessions to
raise the awareness of the students, extending duration of the modules, reviewing
the order of objectives in Intermediate and Upper-Intermediate, and working in
cooperation with Faculties in order to increase awareness of mutual expectations
