A Literary Walk around Katowice: A Reportage by Anna Malinowska Od Katowic idzie słońce [The sun is shining from Katowice] in Glottodidactics

Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the book by Anna Malinowska entitled The Sun is Shining from Katowice in terms of its use in teachingPolish as a foreign language. The author begins the reportage with a description of the fate of Kazimierz Skiba,the penultimate leader of Katowice village, and follows the trail of his walk, confronting the past and present imagesof the Silesian city. The study refers to the concept of walking as an act of reading by Franz Hessel, taking into accountthe geopoetic process of reading as a spatial practice. Modern Katowice is currently one of the most important citiesin the Silesian Voivodeship, as well as an academic center to which students come every year from Poland and all overthe world. Therefore, the text presents the glottodidactic potential of Malinowska’s reportage: a project of classes withforeigners who chose this city as a place of study is presented. This project consists of two parts, developing selectedfragments of the discussed work regarding individual language skills and the practical use of information about thecity during field classes. The aim of the article is to present literary reportage as a source of knowledge about the placeof residence for an international student, for whom working with this type of text is an opportunity not only to learnPolish but also to get to know the city in which they live.
