The article looks into the changing on-screen treatment of Polish immigrant characters living on ‘the Paris pavement’. The corpus of film productions under discussion includes Roman Polański’s The Tenant (1976), Peter Kassovitz’s Mariage blanc (1986), Costa Gavras’s La petite apocalypse (1993), Krzysztof Kieślowski’s Trois couleurs: Blanc (1994), Paweł Pawlikowski’s The Woman in the Fifth (2011) and Małgorzata Szumowska’s Elles (2011). As a comparative analysis of the films involved indicates, both the immigrant characters and the urban space associated with them are subject to gradual changes (although some remarkable spatial motifs, such as the balcony and the roof, make their appearance both in the older and the newer productions). If the earlier films tend to focus on the – often geopolitically connoted – marginalization and degradation of male (anti)heroes in the city’s historical center (or its immediate vicinity), then the more recent films shift focus to the urban periphery, where the Polish characters become part of what Dina Iordanova has called the ‘metropolitan multicultural margins’, along with other, economically underprivileged newcomers from various parts of the (postcolonial and post-Communist) world.

This article looks into the representation of Polish immigrants in contempo-rary Dutch film, with a particular focus on the prominent role of domestic set-tings and familial dysfunctions in the pictures involved. As the analysis reveals, many of the films under discussion bring into view troubled Dutch protago-nists (especially men) who suffer from degradation in the familial and social sphere. The Polish characters in turn tend to be instrumentalized as (potential) agents of change (or rather “restoration”), taking up traditional familial and domestic roles that are no longer fulfilled by Dutch characters.

The article presents and evaluates lexical exercises and glottodidactic tasks presented on an educational platform Polish Your Polish – (Un)Polish Your Russian (KU Leuven, Belgia). It is based on the latest scientific literature on using digital educational materials in teaching foreign languages. The analysis proves that the value of the materials prepared at KU Leuven results above all from their authenticity, primacy of the meaning and their attractiveness. When teaching Polish vocabulary using information and communication technologies, it is far more difficult to meet the criteria of effectiveness and functionality. The authors of the article claim that open, multistage tasks, that require active processing of information and lead to a certain useful ‘final’ product can serve this purpose well.
