- In the field of Teacher Training in Czech language and literature for primary and secondary schools Teaching practice 2 counts for 50 hours: 30 hours of practice within the school and 20 hours of preparation for teaching. The students' responsibility is to teach a minimum of 10 hours in the course Czech language and literature.

- Teaching practice 3 counts for 60 hours: 40 hours of practice within the school and 20 hours of preparation for teaching. The students' responsibility is to teach a minimum of 20 hours in the course Czech language and literature.

During their time at the primary and secondary schools students undertake either direct teaching activities, or assistant work for the teacher mentor (checking pupils' work, making teaching aids, pupil supervision, working on class documentation, assisting pupils with special needs, preparation and implementation of projects, etc.).

Both courses of Teaching practice are linked to the subject of a seminar on Teaching practice for 3 x 2 hours in the 2nd and 3rd semesters. The seminar is led by departmental didactics of the Department of Czech Language and Literature in cooperation with a teacher or psychologist. In the seminar the students reflect on their practical experience in a small group of students.

- Oral examination in the Czech language, consisting of linguistic analysis of a text, answering a theoretical question on linguistics and a question on didactics of Czech language and style ;

- An oral examination in Czech literature consisting of answers to a theoretical question on literary theory and history (from the beginning to contemporary literature) and an answer to a question on didactics of literary education. A precondition for successful completion of the examination in Czech literature is also the ability to interpret literary work/text taking account of the structural layers and context.

Both parts of the SFE have the same weight in the final evaluation.

For students who have chosen a topic for the Master's thesis guaranteed by the Department of Czech language and literature, its defense is part of the SFE.
