Research data were analyzed by content analysis. According to the results of the research, it was determined that the activities involving the reading, writing, listening and speaking skills of the foreign language teaching program were at a challenging level for the students, and that the teachers stated that the program was not suitable for the students' readiness levels. In addition, the results of the research on this subject showed that the teachers' needs were not met in terms of materials, classroom environment and other opportunities. Again, it was stated by the teachers that the measurement and evaluation methods and techniques, which should be prepared in accordance with the communicative skill objectives of the program, were insufficient and inappropriate.
