GLOTTODYDAKTYK POMIĘDZY TRADYCJĄ A NOWOCZESNOŚCIĄ
A TEACHER OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES BETWEEN TRADITION AND MODERNITY

Summary/Abstract: Nowadays, a teacher of foreign languages is tempted to use the Internet in order to develop linguistic competencies of his or her students. The Internet satisfies their interests and intellectual needs and its use for learning a foreign language has some features of the natural method. However, there are some concerns about technology and connectivism - whether the mind is be able to cope with excess of information and memorizing. It has been proven that at early stages of learning a language the process of memorizing cannot be sped up, and information in the Internet is not fully used. Benefits emerge when the learner becomes linguistically independent, or has achieved at least B2 level and can both effectively build new knowledge and develop a foreign language. For the time being, the role of a teacher of foreign languages is helping the student in the didactic process by anchoring, guiding the research and organising the educational process.
