Summary/Abstract: The article recounts a study on spoken texts intended for testing listening comprehension in certificate examinations of Polish as a foreign language at selected levels. The criteria for selecting texts have been developed on the basis of linguistic research on spoken Polish and its varieties, text types and communication theories. The study covers materials used in the years 2006–2008 and in the most recent tests (2017). This time perspective makes it possible to observe the changes made in the process of selecting texts for testing aural comprehension over the past ten years. It further helps indicate how linguistic research influences languageeducation as part of Polish studies in its practical dimension.
