TEACHING THE POLISH POLITE REQUEST FORMULAS TO RUSSIAN-SPEAKING STUDENTS: THE ISSUES OF THE MOTHER TONGUE STRUCTURAL AND CULTURAL INFLUENCE IN TEACHING POLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the issues of teaching the genre of the polite request to Russian-speaking students. The author underlines that in spite of the fact that Polish and Russian are rather close to each other while being the Slavonic languages, there still remains more differences than similarities in this domain. For example, there is no absolute similarity between the Polish proszę and the Russian прошу. The author analyzes the textbooks for teaching Polish as a second language and arrives to the conclusion that most of them teach only one type of the request formula, which proves to be not as neutral and universal as we used to think. The final part of the article contains the author’s suggestions concerning the ways to introduce more diverse formulas of the Polish polite request to the material being taught.
