Summary/Abstract: The article examines the forthcoming reform of Poland's early education curriculum, which introduces language education as a distinct subject area integrating Polish with foreign or minority languages. It argues that the reform creates conditions for implementing pedagogical translanguaging, understood as treating languages as complementary rather than competing resources. This perspective has the potential to move beyond monolingual and immersion models. Selected classroom practices are presented to demonstrate how interlingual teaching can enhance both pupil agency and teacher effectiveness.
