Abstract	Although Turkey is not a member state of the European Union (EU), educational and curricular documents produced by the EU such like the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), the European Language Portfolio (the ELP) and the European Portfolio for Student Teachers of Languages (EPOSTL) have been examined by Turkish researchers and curriculum makers whose work seem to affect the curriculum of teacher education programs and curricula of all levels. The EPOSTL, which aims to improve the pedagogical progress of Turkish teachers of English, is currently studied and applied in many different contexts in Turkey although research on its potential use is still needed. Hence, in this study, we applied the culture-related self-assessment scale with seven preservice teachers of English who were taking a practicum course. In the EPOSTL there are eleven culture-related self-assessment descriptors and all of them were answered by the participants both in numbers as well as in words. Results showed that items five, six and eleven were given the lowest scores. These suggest that future teachers of English found selecting materials related with "otherness" and "stereotypes" and assessing learners' ability in acting appropriately in target culture situations. Pre-Service Teachers' Self-Assessment Scores and Mean Values table is appended. (As Provided).
