Abstract (2. Language): 
The aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics of these programs and to define very specific features of this process. In the study, under the umberella of ESP, the main items of the program are analyzed. In this analysis, the learners, the teachers, the course process, the activities, the materials, the measurement and evaluation are focused on and the basic criteria of the ESP programs are determined. This study also investigates the perceptions and needs of the students and teachers on ESP programs in order to review and develop the program in many ways. The data were collected through two different types of interviews which were with the students’ and with the teachers. The students who attended to the interviews were university students taking vocational English courses. In the other interview, the thoughts and expectations of the teachers about ESP (vocational English teaching) and the ESP programs were also asked. The interview questions were prepared through literature review and important items were selected to ask in the interviews. All the interviews were implemented separately. After getting collected the data students’ and teachers’ answers and ideas were evaluated in two parts, and the common points were grouped in a table. To see the percentage of these answers, the percentage rations were calculated. The results were listed through percentage rations. These results show which features were at the the top of importance for the students and teachers. In addition to this, the results of the students’ and teachers’ interviews were compared and by this comparison some similarities and differences were detected. The results show that both the teachers and the students are aware of the importance of the learners’ needs and expectations in the program. Also, the self-study and creating different opportunities to motivate students are common opinions shared by them. The results reveal that the basic language skills can be taught integratedly, or the skills can be taught as separate courses depending on the objectives and the general aim of the ESP program. In addition to this, in the study the recent studies were searched and the weak and powerful points of the ESP programs all over the world were focused on and the suggestions of the researchers were submitted. Also, in the study with a recent literature review, common points of ESP instruction and programs were searched, the problems were listed. The solutions and suggestions according to the researchers were defined. At the end of the study, with the detailed literatute review, an ESP program evaluation criteria checklist was developed.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu çalışmanın amacı Özel Amaçlı İngilizce Programlarının özelliklerinin belirlenmesi ve bu sürecin önemli özelliklerinin tanımlanmasıdır. Çalışmada Özel Amaçlı İngilizce şemsiyesi altında programın temel unsurları analiz edilmiştir. Bu analizde, öğrenciler, öğretmenler, ders süreci, etkinlikler, malzemeler, ölçme ve değerlendirme üzerine odaklanılmıştır. Çalışmada ayrıca Özel Amaçlı İngilizce Programlarının gözden geçirilmesi ve geliştirilmesi için öğrenci ve öğretmenlerin bu program hakkındaki düşünce ve gereksinimleri araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada bulgular öğrenci ve öğretmenlerle yapılan iki farklı görüşme ile elde edilmiştir. . Görüşmelerden elde edilen bulgular iki farklı grup altında incelenmiştir. Elde edilen veriler yüzdelik sırasına göre listelenmiştir. Çalışmada ayrıca alanyazın taraması yapılarak son çalışmalar incelenmiş ve dünyada Özel Amaçlı İngilizce Programlarında yaşanan sorunlar incelenmiştir. Bu çalışma ile Özel Amaçlı İngilizce Programlarında son zamanlarda var olan programın zayıf ve güçlü noktaları saptanmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırmacıların Özel Amaçlı İngilizce Programlarının geliştirilmesine yönelik önerileri saptanmıştır. Çalışmada ayrıca Özel Amaçlı İngilizce Programlarının eksik noktalarının saptanması ve geliştirilmesi için ayrıntılı bir alanyazın taramasından elde edilen bilgiler ışığında Özel Amaçlı İngilizce Programlarını değerlendirme kriterleri oluşturulmuştur. Çalışmanın sonunda ise yapılan araştırmaların sonucu olarak ve öğretmen ve öğrenci görüşmelerinden elde edilen bulgular ışığında araştırmacı tarafından etkin bir Özel Amaçlı İngilizce Programı için öneriler sunulmuştur.
