Language teaching in upper-secondary schools – why is it necessary?

Summary/Abstract: The paper provides the reasons why language teaching is necessary at all the stages of Polish language teaching, with particular emphasis on the final stage – the upper-secondary school. On the examples of pupil utterances the author proves that insufficient linguistic competence translates into low text generation competence. Upper-secondary school pupils cannot use the academic and erudite styles skilfully. They have problems with lexical connectivity, with manipulating the meaning, with utterance precision. This obviously results in a considerable number of linguistic errors in the pupil written assignments. The analysis of discursive essays proves that the teacher may not resign from language teaching at any of the educational stages. It is important at the same time that the teaching goals and matched methods are clearly defined at each stage. The knowledge and skills obtained at the earlier stages should be systematically developed at the subsequent stages.
