Phraseologisms in selected junior school textbooks and students’ linguistic needs

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the scope of knowledge on phraseological units, notions from phraseology and types of phraseological exercises, as well as the scope of phraseologisms taken into account in textbooks for the Polish language by several publishing series. The exercises proposed by the textbook authors were compared with the actual students’ needs and linguistic difficulties, established on the basis of studies on students’ phraseology (among other things the understanding of notions and terminology, the knowledge of meanings of phraseological units and their usage in communication). Remarks and didactic implications were formulated. These concerned among other things the extension of the exercise repertoire, the adjustment of the exercises to the development of communicative skills and sesnitisation to the proper usage of phraseologisms, as well as the image of the world reinforced in phraseology.
