Academic confrontations with Polish. Reflections on language didactics in non-Polish studies.

Abstract

The purpose of the present paper is to reconstruct the status, rank and role of the subjects implementing the content related to Polish linguistics (language studies, Polish culture of language, linguistic pragmatics) in university education, but outsider Polish philology. The research review covered two areas: documents (selected syllabuses) and social representations (conceptualizations, opinions, impressions, expectations) of the indicated subjects within the two main participants in the learning process: students and lecturers. The conclusions show that classes developing communicative and pragmatic competence are expected in the study programmes but should be functionalised, professionally focused and methodically interesting.
