Summary/Abstract: Languages play a crucial role in shaping the European landscape. At the supranational level, the European Union (EU) establishes objectives aimed at developing quality-driven language education and promotes strategies to equip Europeans with essential multilingual skills. However, the ultimate authority over each national educational system resides with the Member states, which take into account their specific contextual realities. In light of the European Union’s political priorities for higher education, this study examines how Poland approaches language education in the academic context. On the one hand, the analysis indicates Poland’s latest outcomes and the nation’s commitment to boosting linguistic potential through its higher education institutions by leveraging various European recommendations, and on the other, it underscores the importance of certain European initiatives that should merit greater consideration as they hold the potential to enrich language education in the Polish academic context.
