eng	Examining grammatical competence of English language student teachers	It is widely believed that the content knowledge, or scholarship in content disciplines, plays the central role in the knowledge base of teaching (Shulman, 1987), however, investigations of its acquisition still remain rare not only in the context of the Czech Republic, but worldwide (see e.g. Píšová, Duschinská, a kol.; 2011). The presentation focuses on whether and how the content knowledge of the bachelor programme students of English for education is developed. Based on the analysis of test and examination results, the study hypothesizes that there is correlation between the selected aspects of communicative competence in the course of the study programme. Drawing on correlations of exam results in morphology and grammatical part of the language exam, this study also suggests that raising theoretical knowledge about language may help students improve their use of grammar.	grammatical competence; English language student teachers
