Diachronics in teaching at higher vocational school (Tarnów State Vocational School)

Summary/Abstract: This article emphasizes the importance of diachronics in the didactic program of higher vocational schools on the example of Higher Vocational School in Tarnów. In the three year education period of the undergraduate level the module of courses featuring language diachronics is clearly visible. The module incorporates: Old Church Slavonic language grammar, Polish historical grammar, history of language, dialectology, lexicology, lexicography and the graduate seminar. These courses have undergone numerous changes over the years: their curricular content and the number of classes have been modified. However, it should be emphasized that the importance of diachronic studies has always been recognized as substantial for the education of a Polish studies teacher, for his or her knowledge and qualifications. By completing these courses the graduate of Polish studies, who becomes a teacher of Polish in a primary school or in a junior high school, possesses sufficient knowledge to explain the changes that occur in the language. One should not forget, that the knowledge of these changes and of the development the language undergoes constitutes an essential and vital element of Polish cultural and national identity.
