The participants in this project called for a more prominent position of grammar within their language teacher education and identified their need to acquire more knowledge in the domains of language acquisition, linguistics and intercultural communication. In addition, they reflected on their language learning experiences and identified those strategies that they would recomment to their learners. Insights gained through this project are presented with a view to contributing to the design of teacher education programs based on students' perceived needs.
