Within the survey we observed three competences: communicative, linguistic and linguodidactic competence. The aim of the research was to find out how students of English at the Faculty of Education, Palacký University Olomouc assess their competences after completing their first and second compulsory teaching practices. Furthermore, we wanted to compare the students' assessment of the selected competences. For the survey we chose a non-standardized questionnaire which was distributed to the students of the follow-up Master's degree study programme of English.
