POLES AND POLAND IN SELECTED POLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEXTBOOKS IN COMPARISON WITH THEIR PERCEPTION BY THE SLOVENES

Summary/Abstract: The article presents a comparison of the image of Poland and Poles as seen in selected textbooks for learning Polish as a foreign language, with the image of them as seen by the Polish philology students in Ljubljana. It seems that the presented image of Poland and Poles in textbooks is false, idealized, which may result from the desire to be presented in a positive manner, especially in comparison with other European countries. It should be emphasized that it complies with programming guidelines of the European Union and is very different from the students’ perceptions regarding Poland and Poles, which results from stereotypes. Therefore, when using such a textbook, the role of a teacher, who can balance the disparities between the material from the textbook and material from other sources, is very important.
