Current study investigated applicability of the 9 th Grade EFL Program with regard to proficiency descriptors and educational principles of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Qualitative inquiry was followed by adopting a phenomenological approach to conduct the study. The data were collected through document analyses, face-to-face interviews, and teacher and students observations regarding classroom instructions. Descriptive analysis was administered to analyze the data obtained from the document analyses, interviews, and observations. The results showed that the EFL program corresponds to students' language levels and needs, while teachers come across problems due to course materials and insufficient class hours during implementations. Besides the participant teachers reported problems in terms of seminars and in-service training activities.
In this experimental study which is based on qualitative and quantitative data collection from an experimental and a control group, it has been found that when some educational terms in English Language Teacher Training programs are strengthened in meaning through some adaptations to better convey the message, their effectiveness is increased. Therefore, it is suggested that foreign or second language teachers in the Asia-Pacific region should not teach the target language only for linguistic and communicative purposes but also to introduce characteristics of different cultures and to contribute to educating people who enjoy similarities, respect differences and value human rights.
