Odziedziczyć język, czyli o współczesnych problemach i wyzwaniach nauczania języka polskiego jako języka pochodzenia
To Inherit a Language, i.e. on the Contemporary Problems and Challenges of Teaching Polish as a Heritage Language

Summary/Abstract: Maintaining and developing the knowledge of Polish as an inherited language, and bringing the cultural heritage of the country of origin closer, is not an easy task. The author starts with a definition of the concept of an inherited language. Next, selected problems faced by teachers of Polish as the language of origin in schools abroad are presented. The author points to the differentiation of the level of language proficiency in groups of students and indicates its determinants. She also shows new contexts: the world of technology, which is close to the students, and the pandemic that made learning difficult but also accelerated the modernisation of teaching tools and increased the competence of teachers in using them. The author also makes a critical analysis of the core curriculum and the offer of didactic materials for Polish diaspora schools, which do not always meet the requirements of the didactic process or modern realities.
