Challenges in ‘Exotic’ Language Teaching—The Case of Polish Language Phonodidactics

Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on the problems of the teaching of phonetics of a foreign language. The author, by combining glottodidactic and logopedic perspectives, draws attention to the challenges the teacher faces in connection with the organisation of the educational process based on the example of teaching Chinese speakers, for whom Polish is a typologically and geographically distant language. The author distinguishes two aspects of phonetics teaching—prognostic and diagnostic. As far as the former is concerned, taking into account two sources of pronunciation difficulties—biological, and that connected with a previously acquired phonetic-phonological system—she proves that, in phonodidactics, prognostic knowledge is indispensable as a basis for diagnosing possible problems in the phonological processing and articulation in students. With regard to the second, she analyses the determinants of difficulties in reaching the phonological competence of the Chinese by referring to the results of observations and a test conducted in a 26-person group of Chinese students. On this basis, she postulates that phonodidactic research, in its practical and theoretical dimensions, should combine glottodidactic and logopedic perspectives.
