Summary/Abstract: Teachers at Polish schools abroad see their task as not just teaching Polish. They want to teach Polishness. Their situation is tough. They teach in a culturally foreign environment, their students represent different levels of knowledge, they lack good text books. Should they prepare students for a return to Poland? Should they help them build an identity open to the native country’s culture? The teaching aims are hard to define and even harder to fulfill. The text analyzes the conditions of these teachers’work.
