Thanks to relatively good economic situation in the past years, Poland has become an attractive place for international investments. Companies with foreign capital also bring expatriates who often start learning Polish language. The profile of these students is significantly different from those who learn the language in academic or school context. Businessmen want to combine every day language learning with work related elements, thus their needs, motivations and problems are different than other language learners. Often, specific profile of those students is not taken into account by their teachers or textbook authors. Due to the nature of teaching / learning process in business context, it is necessary to redefine the relation between teacher and learner and to indicate new roles for both of them.

Ze względu na stosunkowo dobrą sytuację ekonomiczną w ostatnich latach, Polska stała się atrakcyjnym miejscem międzynarodowych inwestycji. Zagraniczne firmy razem z kapitałem przywożą do naszego kraju także pracowników, którzy często rozpoczynają w naszym kraju naukę języka polskiego. Profil tych studentów różni się znacznie od profilu innych uczących się, np. szkolnych lub akademickich. Biznesmeni chcą łączyć naukę języka ogólnego z elementami zawodowymi, dlatego mają odmienne motywacje, potrzeby czy problemy niż uczący się języka ogólnego. Często odmienny profil tych osób nie jest uwzględniany ani przez prowadzących kursy języka polskiego jako obcego (jpjo), ani autorów podręczników. Ze względu na specyfikę procesu nauczania/uczenia się języka w kontekście biznesowym konieczne jest zredefiniowanie relacji nauczyciel/uczący się, a także wskazanie nowych ról, w które wchodzą.

w artykule przedstawiono historiozoficzne rozważania na temat spotkania jako kategorii filozoficznej, która może stanowić jedno z konstytutywnych pojęć w opisie specyfiki aktywności edukacyjnej dorosłych. W zaproponowanym czteropoziomowym modelu autor poszukuje uzasadnień do zróżnicowania natury spotkania w zależności od dominującego w określonym modelu edukacji i czasie historycznym procesu nauczania lub uczenia się. W części końcowej zaprezentowano wybrane wyzwania, jakie wynikają z pojawiających się na rynku edukacyjnym postkonstruktywistycznych form dedykowanych dorosłym.

The article presents historiosophical considerations on the encounter (meeting) as a philosophical category, which may become one of the constitutive terms in the description of specifics of adult educational activity. The author proposed a four-level model, searching for rationale for the differentiation of the encounter nature, depending on the teaching or learning processes dominating in the given education model and time in history. The final part demonstrates selected challenges which result from the post-constructive forms dedicated to adults, occurring on the educational market.
