Özet:The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptions and needs of English language teachers and students pertaining to an EAP course -Professional Communication Skills (PCS 406)- and propose an In-Service Teacher Training Module for EFL teachers working in the Foreign Languages Unit at a private university in Ankara. Hence, a case study was designed to investigate the needs of the stakeholders: the learners, teachers and principal. The study undertook a multifaceted needs analysis including questionnaires with learners; focus group interviews with teachers; one-to-one semi-structured interviews with learners and the principal; and classroom observations. The data were transcribed and analysed via qualitative data analysis methods. The categories of participants’ perceptions comprised the course content, materials, activities, classroom instruction, assessment and other issues. In line with these issues, the study offered suggestions to enhance the course and proposed an INSET module specific to this course in order to facilitate the learning and teaching process of the target course.
