Deutsch und Englisch als Fremdsprachen an ausgewählten Kindergärten in Polen. Methodische Fehlgriffe?
English and German as foreign languages in selected kindergartens in Poland. Methodical mistakes

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses some major observations made in the course of supervising English and German lessons in ten kindergartens in Poland. The author of the article conducted supervision of two lesson units in each kindergarten and discussed their course and methodology with the teachers. The collected data were used to draw conclusions which concern, among other things, methodical mistakes made in the process of foreign language teaching in kindergarten. The observations were also the basis for drawing implications for the so-called ‘early start’. The results presented in the paper are particularly important in light of the current educational policy in Poland – as of September 2015 foreign language teaching has become an obligatory component of education for five-year-old children.
