Summary/Abstract: The article concerns the issue of linguistic awareness among students who attend the program for the prospective teachers of Polish as a foreign language at the Faculty of Philology at the University of Lodz. In the text, we present and comment on the results of a survey study among 52 students. The survey consisted of questions on basic issues of functional grammar of the Polish language in the area of declension, which are presented to learners of Polish as a foreign language. The analysis led to the proposal to introduce the notion of didactic metalinguistic awareness, related to the peculiar character of foreign language teaching, which would complement the metalinguistic awareness.
