Affective factors are undoubtedly considered to be vital in second language acquisition. Among these factors attribution theory is of primary significance, as it affects learners’ final achievement. It indicates that people attribute various causes in their lives to their success and failure. With the employment of attribution theory, this study examines Polish secondary school adolescent students’ attributions for success and failure in second language learning. The main purpose of the study is to investigate, whether Polish secondary school students’ attributions have an impact on their achievements in second language acquisition. In order to conduct the study, the researcher administered attribution questionnaires to the students and an achievement sheet to the teacher to fill in with students’ semester grades in English. Then the data obtained from the questionnaires and the achievement sheet were correlated.  The results show that successful students are more likely to attribute their success to internal facets such as ability and effort and unsuccessful learners attribute their lack of success to external factors, among which task difficulty or luck could be enumerated.

Aim:The main purpose of the study is to show that students with dyslexia, learning a foreign language need special treatment, different from the one provided to students without learning difficulties. This exclusive approach concerns not only individualised learning but also special teaching methods making foreign language learning easier. Method:The author of the article conducted a case study in which a 12-year-old dyslexic student was provided with 6 private foreign language sessions within a 6-week period. Furthermore, in order to obtain the triangulation of data, the participant of the study filled out self-efficacy questionnaire right before and after the private tutoring Results:The data collected reveal that schools should adapt teaching methods offered dyslexic students to their needs. In order to increase effectiveness of their foreign language learning, dyslexic students’ learning process should be individualized. These steps will enable not only better foreign language acquisition but also improve dyslexic students’ motivation which is a condition for successful language learning

Cel: Celem badania jest wykazanie iż uczniowie z dysleksją podczas nauki języka obcego wymagają wyjątkowego traktowania, innego od tego jakie jest oferowane uczniom bez szczególnych potrzeb edukacyjnych. To szczególne działanie dotyczy zarówno zindywidualizowanego podejścia do ucznia jak i zastosowania szczególnych metod nauczania języka obcego ułatwiających naukę uczniom z dysleksją Metody: Autorka przeprowadziła badanie opisowe przypadku, w którym przez okres 6 tygodniu zastosowała 6 indywidualnych sesji, podczas których nauczała języka angielskiego dwunastoletniego chłopca z dysleksją. Ponadto w celu uzyskania triangulacji danych przed rozpoczęciem oraz po zakończeniu badania uczeń wypełnił kwestionariusz na skuteczność własną Wyniki: Rezultaty przeprowadzonego badania pokazują, iż indywidualne sesje z uczniem z dysleksją poprawiły znacznie jego kompetencje językowe oraz podniosły skuteczność własną, która jest z kolei warunkiem efektywnego uczenia się Wnioski: Poniższe badanie wskazuje na to, że w szkołach powinno być zapewnione dostosowanie metod nauczania do pracy z uczniem z dysleksją. W celu zapewnienia efektywnego nauczania tych uczniów ich nauka języka obcego powinna być zindywidualizowana. To nie tylko pozwoli na bardziej efektywne przyswajanie materiału, ale również na podniesienie motywacji u dyslektyków

Aim: The aim of this article is to investigate the interdependence between adolescent and adult students’ anxiety and their foreign language speaking achievements. It has been proved that there is no correlation between adolescent learners’ anxiety and their speaking attainments in a foreign language as well as that there is a weak correlation between adult students’ anxiety and their speaking achievements. Method: The author of the study employed quantitative research. Data was collected from anxiety questionnaires completed by the students and from achievement sheets filled in by the English teacher based on five-minute speeches performed by adolescent and adult students. Conclusion: According to the research results, there is no interdependence between adolescent students’ anxiety and their speaking attainments and the correlation between adult students’ anxiety and their speaking achievements is weak. Nevertheless, a number of other studies revealed the interdependence between students’ anxiety and their speaking attainments. Therefore, limitations of the study should be born in mind, and the results of the following study can be applied only to the subjects participating in the study. Hence, it is relevant to repeat the study with larger samples of subjects.
