Course description

Midterm psychological and pedagogical internship prepares students to work at school by developing their pedagogical skills in a concrete educational institution. The internship complements and extends theoretical lectures and exercises in teacher education subjects.

Course objectives

The pedagogical-psychological internship aims to prepare the student-teacher trainee for the teaching profession, in particular for the realization of educational and caring tasks, resulting from the role of an English teacher. The pedagogical-psychological internship obliges the student to become acquainted with the specificity of the school or institution, to act as a tutor, to work with groups and with individuals, and to know how to work with learners experiencing learning difficulties or learners with disabilities. The acquired skills in the field of psychology and pedagogy related to school context are compatible with the theoretical and practical classes in psychology and pedagogy within the study programme.
