solutions concerning the English language preparatory curricula implemented at
Eskişehir Osmangazi University, School of Foreign Languages according to ELT
instructors. Participants of the study are 50 ELT instructors teaching English
language in three different proficiency levels (A1, A2, B1). Case study, a
qualitative research method, was adopted in the study and self-report method
(written reports) was used to gather the data. Deductive, or top-down approach,
was used to analyze the qualitative data. The results of the study reveal that
the problems and the solutions as to the curriculum are analyzed under four
themes that are objectives, teaching materials, assessment and evaluation and
general structure. Concerning the objectives, lack of clarity and control of
the objectives are among the problems. The problems as to course book,
additional materials and writing pack are analyzed under the second category
that is teaching materials while the problems regarding midterms, quizzes,
project works, writing portfolios, and class performance grade are analyzed
under the third category that is assessment and evaluation. Last, three
sub-categories as to general structure are as follows: physical problems,
problems as to number and level of students in the classrooms and
administrative problems. Solutions to the problems are suggested.
