Abstract	This study contributes to and expands the existing body of knowledge on the subject by examining the needs, expectations, and challenged by pre-service English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers in a language learning and technology (LL&T) course. This study was conducted in a Bachelor of Arts program at a Saudi university. Research results are based on a qualitative survey utilising open-ended questions. The purposes of the questionnaire were to explore instructor: Expectations, needs, experiences, preferred technology, challenges, and suggestions. The survey sample size was 79 pre-service EFL teachers, and the survey period spanned two consecutive semesters. The results of the research indicate that each of the foregoing are important factors in the quality of technology-based pre-service EFL teachers training courses. See supra. The study also suggests that several important issues might easily be overlooked in course syllabus development and material usage.
