The present investigation is a needs analysis which is meant to determine EFL students’ perceptions and needs in terms of teaching pre-service training. This research tests whether the EFL students at Tlemcen University were adequately-prepared to become competent teachers, and whether the lectures they received were well-designed to achieve this purpose. Data were collected through the adoption of a triangular approach based on a survey addressed to 159 EFL students, and on a specialists’ forum gathering university professors and school EFL inspectors. The study follows a statistical analysis taking into account the mean, the standard deviation, frequencies and Chi-square tests to deal with the survey, and a qualitative method to analyze the EFL specialists’ forum. This study reveals a number of EFL facets that are completely dismissed in the current pre-service program such as: course design, assessment and teaching practice. Also, it sheds light on other aspects which are ineffectively dealt with and consequently need to be totally reconsidered like: the awareness about learners’ individual factors and the introduction of EFL textbooks. Finally, it was unveiled that the majority of the target student-teachers were dissatisfied about the preparation they received before the immersion in the EFL profession world.
