The article deals with the language acquisition among children in a multicultural kindergarten. The aim of the research was to observe changes in the use of Polish vocabulary by four-year-old immigrant children. Observations focused on the manner of communication as well as kindergarten situations that enabled the children to expand their vocabulary. Word growth of six linguistically diverse immigrant children were examined. The vocabulary of Polish children was studied in order to compare the two groups. A set of 60 images from the booklet for teachers "Uczymy czytać w przedszkolu" [Teaching reading in kindergarten] by Halina Mystkowska was used. It was found during the study that in the initial test the non-native speaking children spoke poorly and often made no attempt to name the images. In contrast, in the second test they showed more confidence, even if they did not quite succeed in naming the images correctly. The key finding is that the number of words increased significantly in the exercises. The key finding is that the number of words increased significantly as a result of the exercises.

W artykule podjęto analizę działań związanych z nabywaniem języka przez dzieci w wielokulturowym przedszkolu. Celem badań była obserwacja zmian w posługiwaniu się polskim słownictwem przez czteroletnie dzieci imigrantów. Skupiono uwagę na sposobie porozumiewania się oraz sytuacjach w przedszkolu, które pozwalają na poszerzanie słownictwa dzieci. Przebadano przyrost liczby słów sześciorga dzieci imigrantów. Dla porównania przeanalizowano słownictwo dzieci polskich. Wykorzystano zestaw 60 obrazków z zeszytu dla nauczyciela „Uczymy czytać w przedszkolu” Haliny Mystkowskiej. W trakcie badania zaobserwowano, że w badaniu początkowym dzieci obcojęzyczne słabo się wypowiadały, często nie podejmowały próby nazywania obrazków. Natomiast w drugiej próbie wykazywały większą pewność siebie, nawet jeśli nie do końca poprawnie udawało się nazwać obrazek. Kluczową konkluzją jest to, że w ramach przeprowadzonych ćwiczeń liczba słów znacznie się zwiększyła.
The article aims to introduce the topic of epilepsy as one of the most common neurological diseases in children and adolescents, including children and adolescents attending school. Students with epilepsy are included in the group of students with special educational needs. The specificity and the treatment of this disease can adversely affect the daily functioning in the school environment of students with this chronic disease. Thus, this requires teachers and educators to be familiar with the topic of this disease and to be aware of the impact it can have on, among other things, the cognitive processes of students with epilepsy, their relationships with peers, and their mental health. The purpose of this paper is to present the available research conducted in Poland among pedagogical staff on knowledge and attitudes toward students with epilepsy. Despite medical advancements and an increase in knowledge about epilepsy, the results of research conducted in Poland among teachers indicate the need for further propagation of scientifically proven knowledge about the disease, especially among those who have contact with students in educational settings.
