Summary/Abstract: In this paper, teaching Polish as a Foreign Language to adults from the east, that is, the inhabitants of former Soviet republics speaking Russian as their first or second language is used an example of the didactics of Polish declension and syntax from the perspective of contrastive linguistics. While presenting the theoretical context of didactics contrasted with L1, it is stressed that nowadays that the contrastive analyses of L1 and L2, error analysis and the knowledge of the phenomenon of interference are all employed in teaching. The postulate of applying a confrontative approach in teaching PFL to people from the east, which is which is supported by Polish research tradition, is presented in the article. In the article, the techniques of the Polish didactics of declension and syntax contrasted with the Russian language have been derived from the book Polski dla nas 1 [Polish for us 1]. Польский для нас 1. Deklinacja i składnia kontrastywnie dla Słowian wschodnich (A2-B2) [Declension and syntax for East Slavic students from the contrastive perspective (A2-B2)]. The techniques have been divided into two groups: monolingual exercises and bilingual exercises. It has been stressed that the knowledge of L1 of the students taught by a tutor is significantly facilitated by teaching with the use of the contrastive approach, yet it is not a condition sine qua non for such type of didactics.
