The article’s theme concerns challenges encountered in the 21st century in the course of language communicative education within the scope of Polish as a native language. The author expresses conviction that socialisation process does not substitute for education, and therefore one of the paramount purposes/aims of language education within the scope of native language is to cater to the language-communicative needs of students stemming from cultural transformation taking place in the contemporary world. New tasks that a Polish language teacher needs to face are developing the so-called new communicative competency which facilitates communicative acts in media-dominated world of today, including digital media. The said tasks also involve counteracting the lowering of verbal communication standards, particularly the cases of verbal aggression and primitive vocabulary.

This article proposes criteria for testing university students’ strategic competency in speaking. The roots of the derivation of the four criteria and their indicators is the demands for the future specialists – university students, the essence and distinctive peculiarities of strategic competence, the specificity of speaking as a skill and as an activity, the modern tendencies in evaluation processes. Hence, such criteria with the corresponding indicators for evaluation were established: cognitive, communicative, goal-seeking, educational-compensatory. Studying specific tasks for assessment and developing tools of evaluating strategic competence in writing and interaction activities open new prospects for further educational research.

This paper reviews objectivism and constructivism: the two educational ideologies which underlie different language teaching methods, applied in the classrooms for decades. It reflects on some marked differences among the existing language theories and practices within the two traditions and their impact on early language education. The authors emphasize the changes in the focus of the educational paradigms and the need of working methodologies and classroom practices that are in line with the contemporary requirements of modern education. A shift from learning that to learning how has been observed. Young students should be able to have new experiences in a new language by doing things as autonomous learners within a group that has established a positive learning environment. The focus of research should be on developing and applying effective, age-appropriate approaches which will facilitate the language learning of children and enhance their overall physical and psychological development.

The goal of the paper is to explore the life-long specificity of the educational process, with special attention devoted to a vast collection of the psycholinguistic and ecolinguistic variables which orchestrate one's education. The dynamics and complexity of the foreign language education, in the context of the Polish university, ask for the twofold psycholinguistic treatment, that is, for the intraorganism strategic competence and behaviour; and for the interpersonal intervention, in the form of the educational offer and individually designed classroom work. The study proposes a redefinition of the learning process, which may constitute the starting point of a revised methodological framework in the context of the university foreign language education.

The current linguistic research discusses, contrary to some accusations, socially and scientifically relevant topics. In doing so, it shows great flexibility, because linguistic ways to approach new areas are being constantly researched. The goal of the contribution is to present the contents of the anthology ,,Sprache und Gesellschaft – Theoretische und empirische Kontexte der Linguistik‘‘. The therein contained contributions have been organized into five areas by topic, which go into detail on selected aspects of the interrelation between language and society. In the first part the authors discuss what society and the groups within it are saying about language, what language says about them and, in selected aspects, the forms of that interaction are presented in more detail. Going forward the question is being asked, who should be in charge of language education. The protestant religion classes are being presented as an example of language education outside of scientific settings. Religious terms which are reaching beyond culture can be a tool of communication to teach new languages to migrants.The topic of the third area revolves around the origin of stereotypes. The main stress is being put on historical events and their misinterpretations, which are quite prevalent.Internet texts and comments are the main source of information on negative descriptions of some groups of people, as discussed in the fourth part. The therein contained contributions focus on the reasoning behind and forms of sexism towards women and hatred towards migrants.The fifth and last area shows case studies of language aspects in social contexts. Internet comments regarding a doctor's visit, vulgarisms at polish universities and the special asymmetry in legal advice can all be impulses for broader studies on these and related topics and phenomena.This publication shows an interdisciplinary approach to research. This way the examination of language within a context can be especially well presented.

According to the 2002 National Census of Population and Housing, 48 737 people declared Belarusian nationality. Most of the Byelorussian language users, which equals to 39 898 people, inhabit Podlasie. The national structure of Podlasie has undergone major changes. As a result of the assimilation processes over the years, the number of Belarusians in Podlasie has drastically declined. The official policy of the Polish government guarantees Polish citizens belonging to national and ethnic minorities the freedom to maintain and develop their own language. It also provides national and ethnic minorities the right to establish their own educational institutions. There are elementary schools, gymnasiums and high schools in Podlasie where Byelorussian language is taught as an additional subject. According to the data provided by the Bialystok Board of Education, in the school year 2008/2009 3225 students learned the Byelorussian language. Moreover, the Byelorussian language is being used in academic education. There are Belarusian Language Departments in three Polish universities: the University of Warsaw, the University in Bialystok and the University of M. Curie-Sklodowska in Lublin. Byelorussian language is also the language of mass media; there are newspapers being published in Podlasie in the Byelorussian language, as well as radio broadcasts are being aired from Bialystok and Warsaw. Unfortunately, the majority of the Byelorussian language users do not consider this language

One of national language education guidelines is scientific basics in linguistic conceptology and cognitive linguistics about language units as consciousness components, means of perception, mental information media. Professional language worldview reveals professional cognitive and linguodidactic structures. Nowadays issues of conceptual representation of professional knowledge fragments and their transformation into professional language add to the range of actual linguodidactic issues. Lexicography introduces a number of ways for solving the above mentioned issues. In modern research literature, a dictionary text is referred to as a specific language-informative object, a special type of social communication, visualization technique and a tool of understanding reality. The object of the article is to develop a system of lexicographical exercises and tasks to form a professionally important concept of “collective” in the context of language and professionally aimed training of future teachers in primary schools. Such research tools were used: analysis of contemporary study programs for bachelor training with the specialty of primary school teaching; modeling of a methodological system. The concept “collective” is professionally important in the context of vocational training of primary school teachers. Forming a professionally important concept “collective” in vocational training must be fully integrated in language and professionally oriented courses, such as Pedagogy, Psychology, Methodology of educational work with children, Modern Ukrainian language, Methodology of teaching Ukrainian. The article includes a system of lexicographical exercises for future teachers of primary school aimed at forming an image of collective as one of the main categories in the system of vocational knowledge as well as stipulating rational understanding of organization and correlation of mental and oral presentations in the concept structure. Therefore, at the modern stage of linguodidactic development, it is perspective to use a concept approach to forming key categories and notions. Research perspectives concern creating methodologies of forming panoramic ideas of such professionally important concepts as teacher, upbringing, family, school, activity, personality, education, discipline in the system of primary school teachers’ training.

Democracy, human rights, rule of law, social cohesion, protection and promotion of cultural heritage, intercultural dialogue, and economic growth – all these areas of activity of intergovernmental organizations such as the European Union or the Council of Europe, depend on education. Which, in turn, relies on language competence defined as the ability to conduct linguistic activities necessary to achieve specific educational goals or tasks. The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to the key importance of linguistic competence for education, by discussing selected works and projects of the Council of Europe, and by applying an action-oriented approach – on which these works and projects are based – to selected educational programmes in Poland.

The various facets and networks of social media have had significantly phenomenal influence on the individual life and on the societal, economic, and political status of their users. The linguistic discourse of interlocutors on social media has also been influenced. The current study aims at measuring how the English language learning process of non-native Bahrainis has been affected by the use of social media. To explore such effects, a quantitative methodological measure was used in the form of an online questionnaire administered to a random sample of L2 Bahrainis. Responses from 330 respondents from different age groups and gender types were analysed using measures of central tendency and other statistical measures such as t-tests and ANOVA using SPSS. Findings have revealed that the utilization of social media has been perceived to have positively impacted interlocutors’ lexical variation, writing style, reading skills, and communication skills. These findings were subjective to variables related to gender, age, and the multimodality of particular social media facets. Accordingly, some significant implications and recommendations are drawn, the most important of which is the provision of mechanisms to ensure the effective utilisation and employment of social media in the pedagogical practices in L2 contexts.

The concept of mediation in language teaching and learning, which has been functioning for more than 20 years in glottodidactic discourse, was only clarified in 2018 with the publication of the Companion volume to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, which has not yet been translated into Polish. This article is devoted to the ‘mediating communication’, which is part of the mediation activities defined in the companion volume to the CEFR. The first part of the article is devoted to theoretical considerations on the mediation and mediating communication in foreign language teaching, while the second part presents examples of specific exercises aimed at improving the competences in the mediating communication, which were identified as a result of the analysis of eighteen textbooks for French language teaching for secondary schools.

This research examines the extent to which the integration of humorous literary texts in teaching the Arabic language affects achievement in reading comprehension among Grade 4 pupils in the Arab sector in Israel. This research is the first one in the field. Research on the integration of humour in the study of Arabic language as first language does not exist so far. There are very few studies dealing with the integration of humour in the learning process of Arabic as a second language (only three were found). Hence, there are no studies dealing with the integration of humour in the educational field in the Israeli Arab sector. The research took place in one school in the Bedouin sector in the South of Israel. It was based on one experimental class and one control class The study examined the level of the pupils’ knowledge in all components of comprehension: explicit and implicit content, interpretation and integration, evaluating texts and drawing conclusions. The experimental classes studied six humorous stories whereas the control classes studied six stories without humour. The results of the experiment show that the achievements of pupils who learned comprehension using humorous stories was much higher than those in the control classes. In addition, a more positive learning environment was reported in the experimental classes.

The article attempts to search for continuity between the past and the present inscribed in the language, using selected idioms as examples. The author presents idioms as a linguistic “transmitter” of culture reflecting the experiences of its users. The paper concludes with a few reflections on the role of language education and creating the linguistic awareness of the young generation. The author highlights the need to combine the knowledge of the history of traditional idioms and the knowledge of using new idioms created for advertising and media purposes to shape the attitudes and language activity of young people.

This theoretical paper deals with the specific issues of education of minority children from socially disadvantaged environments. Its main focus is on the education of African American children, because they are a clearly different minority and often socially disadvantaged, similar to Roma children in Czech society. The aim of this paper is to summarise specific characteristics of these children in relation to their education and the ways they are dealt with in the U.S. context, and then find inspiration for the education of similarly disadvantaged children here. The paper stresses the reasons children from minorities tend to be less successful at school than their counterparts from white middle class families: their excessive segregation in special schooling and ‘poor schools’, the social construction of their failure, and their language education.

The article discusses the cultural experience preserved in language in the form of more or less popular phrasemes. The author identifies selected sources of the phrasemes and depicts their function in preserving and saving the cultural heritage of past generations. She highlights the changes taking place in the contemporary language. The author underlines the multidirectional nature of these changes: on the one hand, society preserves the linguistic heritage, while on the other hand it gives new meanings to previously known words and sayings, creates new words and phrasemes which allow a reflection on the current socio-cultural experiences of individuals and social groups. The summary indicates the educational aspect of the issue and the necessity of implementing a carefully planned native language education which will support developing the identities of individuals, social groups and society as a whole.

The article analyses the issue of international partnership in plurilingual language education as a prerequisite of creating common grounds for productive communication in a pan-European area, part of which Ukraine is. In this context, the past and present day practices in teaching and learning foreign languages in Ukraine have been described. The historical retrospection in the regular practice of language school education in the 19th-20th centuries proves that although plurilingualism has been a constant trend of the individual existence a multilingual and multicultural setting of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, it has never been really valued as a factor of personal, academic or professional development of an individual and the society as a whole. New social and individual perspectives that have opened in Ukraine after proclaiming state independence in August 1991 inspired the demand for real-life communicative skills in foreign languages. The key intention of the paper is to show how significantly foreign language education has been facilitated by a start of active cooperation with Western educational and cultural institutions. The narration ends with conclusions that stress the necessity of reciprocal efforts on the part of Ukraine and its partners to get a synergetic effect of their collaboration.
