In the analyzing of the present data, repetition frequency, percentage distribution, and chi-square tests were used. In order to determine the adequacy of foreign language education in this research, although the students, studying in Physical Education and Sports High School, participate the idea of learning a foreign language is fully necessary for them, and they also think a foreign language can provide them with an easy opportunity to find a job after graduating the school, it was seen that they agree with the idea of foreign language education is insufficient because of the inadequate equipment, the lack of teaching hours, and the level of difficulty of the language text book. Thus, for better foreign language teaching, these results were found out as follows; the level grade separation should perform after the level grade test, the preparation classes should open in the first year, the text books should be used written by mixed-authors (Turkish-Foreign), grammar should be taught primarily, spoken exercises and translation studies should be done about the professional and daily subjects, in teaching, foreign teachers should only take part in spoken lessons.
