Standaryzacja wymagań leksykalnych w glottodydaktyce polonistycznej – znajomość słownictwa jako parametr oceny stopnia biegłości językowej
Standardization of lexical requirements in teaching Polish as a foreign language – vocabulary knowledge as a parameter of language profi ciency

Summary/Abstract: Receptive and productive vocabulary knowledge is an important factor determining learners’ proficiency since natural and effective communication depends both on richness of lexical means of and their contextual adequacy. Research shows that learners’ educational performance can be much enhanced when vocabulary issue is properly addressed that is when they know which words they should learn first (the quantitative aspect) and how well they should master them (the qualitative aspect). The lack of vocabulary metrics on the other hand makes language teaching process less targeted and therefore less effective. The proper vocabulary measures however, are particularly important in case of high stake exams therefore in this article the recommendations of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages [2003] and their implementation in the Requirement Standards for the State Examination in Polish [2003, 2009] are subject to a multifaceted analysis. Its purpose is to determine whether the requirements regarding lexis in the Polish document are specific enough and if they are not – to propose some feasible solutions.
