Comprehension is one of the four basic language activities required to use a foreign language efficiently both in speech and in writing. In language didactics as part of Polish studies, relatively little attention has been given to this skill although the difficulty experienced by foreigners in understanding spoken Polish is often pointed out. The purpose of this article is to draw attention to the current methodological practice in teaching aural comprehension in the context of psycholinguistic analysis of the processes involved in the reception and understanding of spoken text, which forms the basis for a revision of the existing assumptions.
