Abstract
The aim of this article is to present the results of research conducted in one of the Polish colonies in South Brazil. The object of the research were Polish language lessons taking place in this rural community. The methodological tools were: a questionnaire, answered by all the students, lessons observations and interviews with volunteers among the students and with the teacher. The article discusses the context and the conditions in which the lessons are held. It describes the students group, which is very diversified in terms of age and language competence. It was established that, depending on the definition applied, all the students or a part of them can be classified as heritage language learners (HLLs). The learners reasons for starting Polish classes and their objectives were also examined. Based on the observations and the interviews, it was concluded that the lessons are not adjusted to HLLs` needs, mainly due to the lack of access to specific teacher training and materials.
