(Contemporary Reportages on Foreigners in Poland as an Antidote for Unwitting Propagating the Myth of Polish Hospitality)

- No. of Pages:31
- Keywords:reportage; Polish as a foreign language; foreigners; refugees; hospitality; multiculturality
- Summary/Abstract:In the article, the author observes that in spite of the teaching programme guidelines, current political and societal issues are rarely addressed during Polish language classes for foreigners. She claims that this situation is due to purposefully avoiding any difficult and potentially controversial topics, especially the ones that could put Poland in a bad light. The example given by the author is the myth of Polish hospitality which turns out to be, to a large extent, superficial when confronted with contemporary challenges, i.e. migration and refugee crisis. During Polish language classes, the author proposes a critical reflection on the self-stereotype of Polish hospitality through discussions and exercises based on contemporary Polish non-fiction literature. Her proposition for C1 and C2 level Polish as a foreign language classes is a choice of fragments of three reportages (literary journalism) on foreigners living in Poland, namely "Król kebabów i inne zderzenia polsko-obce" [The King of Kebabs and Other Polish-Foreign Clashes] by Marta Mazuś, "Tamtego życia już nie ma. Reportaże o uchodźcach w Polsce" [That Life Is Gone. Reportages on Refugees in Poland] by Marta Zdzieborska, and "Skóra. Witamy uchodźców" [Skin. Refugees, Welcome!] by Iza Klementowska. The author emphasizes that these texts constitute a good starting point for an uneasy yet necessary discussion on reasons and manifestations of xenophobia. She also remarks that they contribute to shaping the attitude of tolerance and openness to other cultures among students. Finally, the author underlines that some fragments aptly illustrate the phenomenon of multiculturality, which is more and more common in the contemporary world, including Poland. A detailed analysis of the chosen fragments is followed by proposals of exercises for reading comprehension, for developing speaking and writing skills, as well as for broadening vocabulary.

- Author(s):Katarzyna Kołak-Danyi
- Language:Polish
- Subject(s):Theoretical Linguistics, Applied Linguistics, Studies of Literature, Polish Literature, Philology
- Page Range:65-75
- No. of Pages:11
- Keywords:language joke; ethnic joke; black humour; cultural and linguistic competence; theory of humour
- Summary/Abstract:Language jokes are undoubtedly useful and valuable material for teachers of foreign languages. They transmit culture, spread comprehensive knowledge of a given society, its beliefs and history. In times of crisis they can – like a barometer of social moods – indicate the ability to distance from problems and cope with troubles. Nevertheless, they are not often used in classes of Polish as a foreign language. The article aims to draw attention to the categories of language jokes, which used in classes for foreigners can result in different reactions, other than intended katharsis: from misunderstanding and consternation to embarrassment and offence.

(The Sociological Aspects of Expressing Negative Emotions Using Polish as a Foreign Language)
- Author(s):Barbara Łukaszewicz
- Language:Polish
- Subject(s):Theoretical Linguistics, Applied Linguistics, Studies of Literature, Polish Literature, Philology
- Page Range:76-88
- No. of Pages:13
- Keywords:Polish glottodidactics; expressing emotions; negative emotions; sociology of emotions; sociological theories of emotions
- Summary/Abstract:The text aims to present selected concepts and views, formed on the basis of sociology, which directly or indirectly refer to expressing negative emotions through language and culture. The article points out to these aspects of showing emotions, which to a greater extent, are connected more with socio-cultural than biological factors. They are more related to discovering verbal and non-verbal ways of expressing emotions through language and culture, which are unfamiliar to foreigners, for example, those learning Polish as a foreign language, The text also discusses selected phenomena and trends in expressing negative emotions, which are characteristic of Polish culture. It is useful knowledge for foreigners, who try to find themselves in new linguistic and non-linguistic space. The summary underlines the importance of sociology in glottodidactics, which is based on the belief that language is part of culture and learning it is connected with becoming accustomed to life in new society.

- Page Range:91-166
- No. of Pages:76
- Keywords:South Asia; East Asia; Pacific; Polish philology abroad; public diplomacy; Polish glottodidactic
- Summary/Abstract:The growing importance of Asia and the Pacific Region connected with social and economic changes of the 21st century is also visible in Polish publications. As Poland is interested in laying the foundations for its presence in this part of the world, there are numerous initiatives to promote Polish culture and language. Their effectiveness varies. The author focuses on the links which academic circles, gathered around Polish studies, maintain and strengthen with east and south Asian partners, regardless of favourable (or not) circumstances. Polish glottodidactics becomes in this sense one of the public diplomacy components. Teaching Polish as a foreign language is one of activities of public diplomacy. Teachers of Polish and their students and especially Asian specialists – allies of Poland abroad and Poland’s friends – form a new community, whose merits should be emphasised as not only does it strengthen Polish presence outside Poland, but also enhances prestige of our country.

- Language:Polish
- Subject(s):Theoretical Linguistics, Applied Linguistics, Studies of Literature, Polish Literature, Philology
- Page Range:179-201
- No. of Pages:23
- Keywords:glottodidactics; phraseology; Polish as a foreign language; Polish language and culture in China; Chinese language
- Summary/Abstract:Phraseology is a crucial part of a language system. On the one hand, it reminds about past events and customs, on the other hand it allows the speaker to express his attitude to the subject matter. Its importance for Polish language classes seems to be marginalized. This article concerns the role of phraseology in teaching Polish to Chinese students. It presents the most important categories of Polish phraseologisms, including the differences between the opinions of linguists and glottodidactitians. It also describes types of Chinese word links, their characteristics and origin. Due to the juxtaposition of the two systems, it was possible to define problems with learning Polish phraseologisms encountered by Chinese students. The article also presents the benefits of learning phraseologisms and shows how they can be used in classes of Polish as a foreign language.

- Keywords:CLIL; content and language integrated method; museum education; education through art; cultural glottodidactics; Warsaw for intermediate students project
- Summary/Abstract:The article maps and discusses basic notions, sources as well as Polish and foreign projects aimed at teaching foreign languages using museum collections and historical resources. It presents the value of the content and language integrated method to language museum projects and museums themselves, as teaching language using CLIL can be seen as every Polish museum’s mission and Nina Simon’s theory of participatory museum. How this method is used in teaching Polish as a foreign language and Polish culture was presented on the example of “Warsaw for intermediate students” project, which was run by the Museum of Warsaw and Polonicum – the Centre of Polish Language and Culture of Warsaw University. Showing the practical use of the content and language integrated method in the museum environment made it possible to see how important such activities were for the participants of language classes as well as for the teachers of Polish as a foreign language. For those learning foreign languages it is an opportunity to learn a language in an interesting and unconventional way, which is placed in the historical and cultural context; for the teachers it is an opportunity to immerse students in a complete, but controlled foreign language environment and give them a possibility to search for information on their own and act creatively in Polish.

- Keywords:Polish songs; Polish popular music; popular music in education; exposure to music; personalized playlist
- Summary/Abstract:The author reflects on contemporary ways of listening to music in the context of teaching and learning Polish as a foreign language. Unrestricted access to music can bring many benefits to the learners of Polish as a foreign language, but a plethora of sounds in public space or at home may cause indifference towards sound stimuli. The author refers to the results of his own research on learners of Polish as a foreign language and their contacts with Polish music and its didactic potential. He also describes selected activities undertaken by the Polonicum Centre to popularize Polish music among the participants of Polish language courses as well as establishing emotional ties with Polish culture through music.

A very important aspect of their discussion is the development of children and teenagers’ intercultural competence.

Much space in the book is devoted to differences between formal and informal Polish. The series aims to maintain and develop bilingualism and biculturalism of young people living in Great Britain.
