Nauczanie gramatyki w podejściu komunikacyjnym na najniższym poziomie zaawansowania – uwagi praktyka
Teaching grammar to beginners in a communicative approach – remarks of an experienced Polish language instructor

Summary/Abstract: In modern language teaching teachers most frequently use communicative approach in which knowledge of grammar is by no means a main target. The emphasis is on successful, effective communication. Observations and teaching experience of the author make her believe that pushing grammar to the background is not the best solution. She thinks that it should be present from the very beginning in a language classroom (the subject of discussion here is level A1 as it is a beginning of the “adventure” with Polish as a foreign language) and its rank should be higher. The reason for that is not only the very nature of Polish (an inflective language) but first of all the author’s strong conviction that students need tools to take part in the meaningful, effective and understandable for others communication and they gain them by learning grammar.
