Morphology
The meaning 'a student who teaches under supervision' is directly derivable from combining 'student' and 'teacher' — it denotes someone who is both a student and acting as a teacher in training. This straightforward noun-noun compounding is a common compositional pattern in English and other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Student teacher comes from the literal idea of a student acting as a teacher to learn by doing. It refers to a learner who teaches in a real classroom under a regular teacher's guidance, so they are 'in training' to become a full teacher.
