Teaching Practice I, which is integrated with Project I, provides opportunities for student teachers to utilise knowledge and skills previously acquired in the courses of the Professional Module in teaching English at lower secondary schools (2 weeks, 6 + 12 lessons). The subject is integrated with Project I, the attention is therefore paid to raising awareness about school culture / climate.
