Summary/Abstract: This paper concerns lecturers in English at two Polish universities between the wars: the Stefan Batory University in Vilnius and the Jagiellonian University in Cracow. The former employed four teachers of English, while the latter was represented by three. It may be safely assumed that all strived to make English accessible to their fellow countrymen; hence, they contributed in different ways to the EFL market through their didactic endeavours. Their activity was not confined to teaching practices, however, as they had very different career paths. Since little is known of them, this paper offers a closer look at their biographies and embellishes them with archival materials.
