Summary/Abstract: This article deals with the interactive discourse that plays an important role in the process of shaping communicative competence between a Chinese student and a teacher and/or teacher of Polish as a foreign language. The discussion focuses on the difficulties in interaction: teacher–student and student–student. The text presents the most frequent ways of activating students and methods of eliminating communication disorders. The problem lies not only in initiating interaction with the learner, but also in maintaining the established contact and giving the conversation a natural tone. Passive participation of Chinese students in classes may lead to a weak and rather slow acquisition of both the ability to ask questions and to read the meanings and intentions of the participant of the discourse.
