The way master theses are prepared in the Department of German Studies, University of Wroclaw has changed over the last thirty years. The main objective of the present paper is to show how students‘ motivation has changed. The Bologna Process seems to be an important time frame, and at the same time a reason for many negative developments observed by the author. The paper addresses also what the author considers insufficient preparation of students to participate in the academic discourse, and the lack of knowledge about the true causes of students‘ problems among lecturers and professors. The author suggests that the seminar „Academic Writing“, introduced recently in the Department of German Studies may be a solution to the aforementioned problems.

The article addresses the development of curricula for German study programs in Central Eastern European Countries over the past 70 years, from the post-war period to the present. These are shaped by social framework conditions and historical factors, such as the end of the war in 1945, and the years directly following, membership of the so-called communist Eastern Bloc, and membership in the EU in 2004 and 2007. The political changes of 1989/1990 marked one of the most important milestones; a period began in which western languages including the German language flourished in German departments; only with demographic change has enrolment dropped rapidly since the turn of the millennium. Already in the first decade of reunification, German institutes “lost” their graduates to careers that were not oriented towards the humanities, a phenomenon dominated by international companies with business contacts in German-speaking countries. Today, the majority of universities and German studies institutes are reacting to the pragmatic demands of the labor market and are modifying their range of courses, even if this is at the expense of traditional curricular content.

This article investigates the autobiographic character of Polish-German/German-Polish migrant literature. The text refers to recent research in the German language, highlighting differences with approaches prevalent in Polish scholarship. At the same time, the article illustrates how the idea of “contact between neighboring philologies” can be realized in practice.

Autorka przygląda się autobiograficzności jako cesze polsko-niemieckiej/niemiecko-polskiej literatury migracyjnej. Tekst zawiera odniesienia do niemieckojęzycznego stanu badań, różniącego się w pewnych kwestiach od polonistycznej refleksji naukowej.

The paper examines the acquaintance with chosen on-line dictionary types among students of German studies. It is essential to answer the questions: Do the students use digital dictionaries in case of communi-cative difficulties in a foreign language? In which circumstances? Which ones do they prefer and why, especially whether they choose paper or electronic dictionaries and which devices they use to access the lexicographic information? Which features of dictionaries and what aspects of lexicographic structures are important for users? And finally whether the metalexicographic knowledge taught in linguistics courses improves the lexicographic competence of students. The results of the study confirm that on-line dictionaries, especially the bilingual pons.eu and the monolingual duden.de are popular and preferred by students. Quick and easy searching as well as wide range of entries and satisfying information per lemma are important criteria when using a dictionary. The typical context of dictionary use is translation and preparing for oral or written activities, therefore the users look mostly for the meaning and equivalences of lexemes, synonyms, and usage labels. While the respondents without any metalexicographic education believe that they are competent dictionary users, the students who have attended different courses with lexicographic focus revise their opinions. They appreciate the role of such courses in improving their lexicographic skills, especially if both the theory and practice of dictionary usage have been taught.
