Preparation for the profession of teachers of various subjects is effected mostly through teacher education specializations offered within various academic programmes. Those students who see their future in the teacher profession most often choose the teacher education specialization from the different specialization that their programmes have to offer.
Very often, students have their first contact with academic knowledge in psychology and pedagogy at such teacher education specializations. Analyses of the competences of foreign languages teachers have showed that preparation in pedagogy and psychology is essential for their work. Such is the situation of, for instance, the students of the applied linguistics who prepare for the profession of a foreign language teacher (the students of this subject specialise in two foreign languages).
It is obvious that the choice of teacher education specialization and obtaining teaching qualifications are not tantamount to the desire to be a teacher, to start working as a teacher or to strive at excellence at this profession.
Because students are adults (most often in their early twenties), it seems legitimate to analyse the general purposes of education at teacher education specializations from andragogic perspective, i.e. understanding academic education as a component of all-life development of and formal learning of an adult.
This article presents the results of research conducted among the students of applied linguistics programme on the subject of their assessment of the value of the pedagogy-psychology classes which they attend as a part of the teacher education specialization.
In connection with presented results, it should be noticed that the pedagogy-psychological education as a part of the teacher education specialisation in the applied linguistics programme is viewed by the students mostly as valuable. The research results also revealed the need to more strongly accentuate the meaning of pedagogic and psychological knowledge in relation of professional work as well as personal self-development.
