“Polish language beyond borders” during the pandemic. Description of selected communication and educational strategies

Summary/Abstract: The article stems from interest in the development of effective techniques and methods to support learners of foreign languages and cultures. The communication and educational strategies discussed in the text are an integral part of the project “Język polski ponad granicami” [“Polish language beyond borders”], implemented during the current pandemic. The difficulties that emerged made it necessary to develop alternative methods and forms of education, including ones using modern media and technologies, allowing the Polish diaspora community in Brazil to learn and rediscover the Polish language and culture. The assumptions underlying the project exemplify the value of combining, in the glottodidactic process, the culture and language inherited (for some learners, a second and/or a foreign language), as qualities that Foster communication, integration, self-discovery, the creation of a sense of community and other activities related to language learning in action, in diverse spaces, contexts, situations and interactions (despite the pandemic). The study used the action research approach with its four phases: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The material collected allows us to conclude that an intercultural approach in foreign language teaching and in related forms of education is currently one of the most appropriate ways of teaching Polish as a foreign language. The presented considerations fit within the line of interdisciplinary research on the Polish language in the world, multilingualism, and Polish glottodidactics.
