The aim of the paper is to present the current state of knowledge in the field of teaching foreign languages to third-age learners as well as suggest some directions for future research. The selection of the studies to be included in the paper was done by choosing the most important keywords and in the second stage verifying the abstracts of the studies found. After the initial search, 27 papers were found for the analysis. The results show the growing interest in the subject among the researchers both in Poland and abroad, but they also pinpoint the challenges connected to working with this age group.  In the light of the presented research studies,  developing methods and strategies of teaching third-age learners seem crucial and in longer term preparing materials adjusted to third-age learners needs.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie aktualnego stanu wiedzy na temat nauczania języków obcych wśród seniorów, przegląd światowych i krajowych nurtów w tym obszarze i wskazanie na tym tle nowych potrzeb badawczych. Uwzględnione zostały różne perspektywy badawcze, przy czym nacisk został położony na omówienie kwestii najczęściej poruszanych w dyskusjach, takich jak, podtrzymanie lub poprawę poprawa zdolności poznawczych seniorów oraz socjologiczny aspekt uczęszczania osób starszych na kursy językowe. Selekcji literatury przedmiotu dokonano poprzez wyszukiwanie opracowań zawierających słowa kluczowe uznane za istotne dla zagadnienia, a następnie poprzez weryfikację abstraktów zebranych tekstów. Ostatecznie analizie poddano 27 polsko- i angielskojęzycznych publikacji z lat 2011-2019. Badacze zgodni są co do tego, że coraz większe zainteresowanie nauką języków obcych odbiorców senioralnych jest aktualnie ważnym wyzwaniem dla dydaktyki języków obcych, a potwierdzane korzyści z takiej aktywności umysłowej motywują do poszukiwania coraz lepszych rozwiązań w kontekście interdyscyplinarnym. W perspektywie dokonanych analiz jedną z najpilniejszych potrzeb badawczych wydaje się wypracowania propozycji (strategii, modeli) metodycznych i dydaktycznych dopasowanych do możliwości i oczekiwań osób w starszym wieku podejmujących naukę języków obcych.

Introduction. One of the most challenging tasks for educators is to encourage students of a nonlinguistic institute to study languages. Traditionally, such institutions focus more on promoting the learning of special subjects. However, in the knowledge-based economy, multidisciplinary skills are of fundamental importance. To encourage language learning education managers provide the learning process participants with motivating educational environment.The Aim of the Study. To report the findings of the pilot study, which explores how students perceive different aspects of the educational environment in the context of language teaching and learning in a technical higher school.Materials and Methods. This paper aims to focus on a few essential factors that might have a significant impact on student motivation for studying languages. Information was gathered through the use of the student survey conducted in Transport and Telecommunication Institute; it was based on the structured questionnaire containing a few perception items in relation to foreign language training in a higher technical school.Results and Conclusions. In general, the results of the study show that the students assess all educational environment aspects identified in the survey as having a significant impact on language teaching and learning in a technical higher school. The results basically would imply that the factors students regard as the most important for supporting their studies in relation to language teaching and learning are those, which they directly associate with learning a language.

This review paper aims to present a survey of the current state of scientific knowledge in a particular area of non-verbal communication, for which the scientific name – kinesics – became known. The paper aims to define kinesics, to present current terminology, to summarize theoretical approaches to the field, to discuss the kinesics signal as a sign, and to present the results of empirical studies of kinesics signals in foreign/second language teaching and learning. The first part of the paper analyses the theory, especially the historical development of the field and its basic notions. The second part discusses the kinesics signal as a sign. The third part presents the results of empirical studies of kinesics signals; the object of this study are foreign/second language teachers, students, intercultural aspects of kinesics signals, and didactic function of kinesics signals in lingual didactics. Not many studies of kinesics signals have been conducted in the field of foreign/second language teaching and learning. Researches are engaged in rather different areas of nonverbal communication, such as gestures and proxemics. Nevertheless, the results of solitary research studies of kinesics signals appear to be interesting for the educational process, language teachers and their professional development.
