Higher and secondary education institutions are in the intensive search for new strategies and approaches to encourage and motivate students for thorough and comprehensive study. Nowadays young people should be prepared to respond to any challenge so that they will be able to cope with their future roles, such as citizens, parents, teachers, and so on.

Therefore the new Pre-Service Teacher Training (PRESETT) Curriculum at Bachelor’s level for trainee teachers of English has been created as a vital, urgent and necessary document which can lead to the new educational policy. Due to this new Curriculum students are to undertake the school practice throughout the whole course of Methodology and should be well-prepared to it. To find out whether students feel confidence in their knowledge and have no doubt in its effective usage during their forthcoming school practice (Observed Teaching), the questionnaire was developed and given to the students who were preparing to Observed Teaching having successfully coped with Guided Observation and Teacher Assistantship. The interpretation of the received data of students’ expectations according to their future school practice is presented in this article.
