Shaping intercultural competence in teaching Polish in the time of pandemic: changes, limitations, opportunities

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the shaping of intercultural competence in courses of Polish as a foreign language conducted during the pandemic. This is a topical issue which also fits within the framework of the multiple investigations into the challenges faced by teachers forced to switch to distance education. Apart from teaching Polish as a foreign language, glottodidactics specialists’ tasks also include preparing foreigners for the encounter with Polish culture, manifested for instance in and expressed through the language. The paper identifies changes, limitations, and opportunities in teaching of Polish culture as a foreign culture that it has been possible to observe over the last year or so. The investigation should be regarded as preliminary, as the phenomenon discussed is still present and continues to have an impact on language teaching. The principal observations concern the relevance and usefulness of the selected cultural material used during the language courses. These issues result from the changes observed in daily life after the start of the pandemic. The paper also presents reflections on the ways in which foreigners learning Polish experience the culture. The discussion undertaken in the paper fits in the field of teaching Polish culture and cultural studies glottodidactics, i.e. within the area of research on cultural background in teaching Polish as a foreign language.
