This work tried to test the adequacy of the pre-service training programme in use at the level of the Department of English at the University of Tlemcen. It attempted to limit the students' needs to attain professional quality in teaching English. The researcher took many routes to find answers to all these concerns: First, the students were observed during their performances of teaching; and then, they were approached through questionnaires to stand on each individual's needs. To cross check the results of the classroom observation and the questionnaire procedures, the researcher tried to collect EFL inspectors' opinions about novice English teachers' problems, through interviews. The findings of the study revealed that inadequate preparation of students in terms of the English language itself, first-and second-language acquisition processes, assessment procedures, educational psychology and lack of teaching practice... are among the major problems that should be treated to render the actual pre-service teacher training programme able to prepare a kind of professionally qualified EFL teachers.
