Nowe wyzwania glottodydaktyki polonistycznej w Chińskiej Republice Ludowej
New challenges of teaching Polish as foreign language in the People’s Republic of China

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the current situation, challenges and problems of Polish studies in China. The oldest department of Polish studies in the PRC was established in 1954 at the Beijing Foreign Studies University and has been functioning to the present day. For over 50 years, there was only one department of Polish studies in the China mainland. However, since 2009, more Chinese universities have started to establish departments of Polish studies. As a result of the China — Central Eastern Europe Cooperation and the “One Belt, One Road” Initiative, the China — Poland relation has been developing dynamically in recent years. Today, in the academic year 2020/2021, 20 Chinese universities offer Polish language programs. The development brings excellent opportunities as well as great challenges for Polish studies in China. Teaching Polish as a foreign language in China, a country remarkably distant in language and culture from Poland, can pose not only entirely new problems but also open new possibilities for further research.
