The method of derivational nests can be applied in teaching of Polish as a foreign language. As there are analogies between surdologopedics and glottodidactics, it would be in order to consider the possibilities of its application in the linguistic training of hearing-impaired persons. The specificity of language disorders caused by limitations of auditory perception significantly influences, however, the characteristic features of undertaken therapeutic measures: it enables only a selective use of the achievements of other disciplines. The paper discusses the possibilities of the application of the nest method in working with deaf or hard-of-hearing persons, and presents examples of proposed exercises.
