Nauczanie języka polskiego jako obcego wspomagane technologicznie – wczoraj i dziś. Bilans doświadczeń po roku kształcenia na odległość
Technology-enhanced teaching of Polish as a foreign language, yesterday and today. A recapitulation of one year of online teaching

Summary/Abstract: Technology-enhanced language learning (TELL) is the subject of this article, focusing on the results of a survey conducted among teachers of Polish as a foreign language (TPFL) after they have accumulated one year’s worth of experience in holding remote classes. The results have been juxtaposed with those of a study conducted in 2017 on a similar group of respondents. Intended as a reconnaissance, that earlier poll aimed to assess teachers’ (including mainly academic teachers’) attitude towards computer-aided teaching and the possibility of using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in teaching Polish. The most recent study is intended to serve as a basis for comparison with the previous findings to assess the changes in viewpoint and attitude among the teachers who had had to move their workplace from the classroom into the virtual realm practically overnight. The questionnaire study covered 65 individuals. The analysis of the returned answers is quantitative and qualitative. Additionally, the technique of linguistic analysis based on phenomenological methodology was used in this research into the attitudes of teachers and methodologists of Polish as a foreign language. The research findings point to the significant development of technological expertise and of skills related to using various kinds of educational applications and platforms by teachers, but also underscore the need to improve teaching methods based on an action-oriented approach, to make full use of the possibilities of language teaching by conducting genuine communication activities in a virtual environment.
