Abstract :
The current study has been designed to survey needs analysis of Turkish GE students of School ofEconomics and Administrative Sciences, Arts and Sciences and Engineering. To analyse, a series of qualitative (interview with students) and quantitative (questionnaires) instruments has been used. The method of questionnaires and interview is used for undergraduate, intermediate level of preparatory class students (N=75). Both questionnaires and interview were adapted and after the validity and reliability analysis was verified they were brought to final shape to be conducted. For the purpose of finding out needs required for effective professional skills of participants and analysing the existing instructor content and their pedagogical knowledge, descriptive statistics have been provided in findings and results. The results of the study showed that the majority of the participants expressed that preparatory class is necessary for them but except from writing, grammar and vocabulary teaching, instructors should give more importance to listening, speaking and reading skills. Besides, they stated that materials in the classroom should be more authentic, real-like and interesting. Accordingly, students’ objective and subjective are satisfied more or less effectively, on the other hand, content needs -especially curriculum design and departmental instructors’ opinions- are valuable to reveal for them.
