Polish as a foreign language for Deaf students (Pl. Język polski jako obcy dla Głuchych, JPJODG) is a branch of teaching Polish as a foreign Language that has been developed in Poland for almost a decade now. The year, which is regarded to as the beginning of it, is 2009, due to the fact that at that time the first course in Polish as a foreign language for Deaf students was organised at the School of Polish Language and Culture for Foreigners University of Wroclaw (SJPiK UWr). The result of this course was a PhD thesis by Justyna Kowal, which presents the possibilities of using methods of teaching foreign languages to teach Polish to deaf students (Blacksmith, 2011). Since then, the scholars and doctoral students of the University of Wroclaw have formed an informal scientific and didactic group which deals with these issues, organizes further courses, and presents scientific articles which are related to practical and theoretical aspects of teaching JPJODG
