Summary/Abstract: Climate change, increasing environmental awareness of societies across the world, and emphasising climate-related issues in the public discourse are phenomena that have contributed to changes in the content of textbooks used in teaching Polish as a foreign language. These are the main reasons for which this article was written. The aim of the text is to present environmental aspects as an important lexical area and to trace the way in which it is featured in contemporary textbooks from the point of view of the task-based approach. It assumes a focus on deliberate action of a social nature undertaken to induce the activation of certain cognitive processes in learners and to lead them to solving the specific problem they face. Further on in the article, teachers’ and students’ attitudes towards pro-environmental content in Polish as a foreign language classes were analysed on the basis of survey research. The text cites studies in the field of environmental humanities and social psychology in the context of the glottodidactic process.
