The aim of the present study was to present team teaching (TT) as a form of instruction recommended for use in the English language classrooms in Croatia and to investigate attitudes of future English language teachers towards TT. We combined two types of data collection techniques. First, we used a questionnaire to investigate the opinions of Austrian (N=33) and Croatian (N=30) students, future English language teachers, on TT. The Austrian participants had rather extensive experience with TT, while the Croatian participants had much less or no experience with TT as it is described in this paper. Second, a semi-structured interview was carried out with an Austrian TT expert enquiring about various aspects of TT. The results confirmed very positive attitudes of both Austrian and Croatian future English language teachers towards TT. The participants pointed out some benefits of TT for teachers and pupils; they thought that, as future English teachers, they already possessed most of the necessary competences for TT and stated that TT should be regularly used in formal education. As a conclusion, we suggest that TT be (more) used in the English language classroom in Croatia.Key words: Austria; Croatia; English language; future teachersCilj ovoga istraživanja bio je istražiti neke pozitivne i negativne aspekte timskoga poučavanja (TP) te predstaviti TP kao preporučen oblik poučavanja u nastavi engleskog jezika u Hrvatskoj.  U TP dva ili više učitelja zajedno planiraju nastavni sat, provode ga te se na njega kritički osvrću. Ovaj oblik poučavanja smatra se iznimno korisnim u radu s različitim profilima učenika jer naglašava individualizirani pristup svakome učeniku, a osobito je koristan u poučavanju učenika s posebnim potrebama. U ovome istraživanju kombinirali smo dvije vrste prikupljanja podataka te smo koristili upitnik i polustrukturirani intervju. Pomoću upitnika smo istražili mišljenja dvije skupine studenata iz Hrvatske (N = 30) i Austrije (N = 33), budućih učitelja engleskoga jezika. Austrijska skupina ispitanika imala je iskustva s TP, dok hrvatska skupina ispitanika nije imala slična iskustva. Zanimalo nas je kako su ispitanici saznali za ovaj oblik poučavanja, koje pozitivne, a koje negativne aspekte TP-a mogu istaknuti, misle li da posjeduju kompetencije potrebne za korištenje ovog oblika poučavanja, misle li da TP treba sustavno koristiti  u obrazovanju te kako bi ono moglo biti korisno za učitelje i učenike. Podatci su bili uspoređeni s polustrukturiranim intervjuom koji je bio proveden sa stručnjakinjom za TP koja poučava buduće učitelje engleskog jezika ovoj metodi. Rezultati ovoga istraživanja potvrdili su pozitivne stavove obje skupine ispitanika prema TP-u, koji se odražavaju u mnogostrukim koristima za učitelje, učenju jednih od drugih, razmjeni iskustava, znanja i zamisli te međusobnom pružanju potpore. Istaknute koristi za učenike bile su veći stupanj individualiziranog pristupa te mogućnost promatranja dvije osobe koje su učenicima uzori. U zaključku ističemo blagodati ovog oblika poučavanja i njegovo postupno uključivanje u nastavu engleskoga jezika u hrvatskom obrazovnom sustavu.Ključne riječi: Austrija; budući učitelji; engleski jezik; Hrvatska

The aim of the research described in this article was to look into the usefulness and benefits of the Erasmus+ Programme. The research also included university students' reflections and evaluations of their own experience during the period spent on Erasmus+ exchange, focusing on the cultural aspects of their experience. To establish the importance of Erasmus+, it was first necessary to define what the concept of 'culture' encompasses. Furthermore, it was important to look into the development of cultural awareness and intercultural learning of participants within such an exchange programme-people from different cultural backgrounds. For that purpose, a questionnaire was designed, which was filled in by 100 students from 22 countries, including Croatia. The results have shown that the participants learned very much about the culture of the particular country in which they were on exchange. In addition, they learned about the cultures of the other participants in the programme. Most participants replied that during the exchange they had felt a difference between their own culture and other cultures, and they emphasized possible future benefits. According to the results, the Erasmus+ Programme facilitates to a great extent the participants' understanding and accepting of foreign cultures. Therefore, the young people who have had the opportunity to participate in the programme feel considerable advantages in their personal development. In addition, they believe that the multicultural experience will bring about multiple opportunities in their professional lives.
