Summary/Abstract: For years one of the priorities has been the implementation of innovative technological solutions aimed at supporting and enhancing interest in language learning. Increasingly attention is drawn to the need for teaching programmes and methods to be modified to appeal to a new type of recipient, that called by Prensky native computer users. The paper consequently joins the ranks of those works that search for an answer to the question as to what extent the aforementioned postulates find realisation within the field of teaching Polish as a language. The paper aims to present the Internet sources available which have been devised with foreigners learning Polish in mind as well as those individuals of Polish provenance living permanently abroad, this on the basis of developed sets of evaluation criteria. Given the extensive nature of the topic, attention has been paid only to those proposals (platforms, programmes, applications) which allow one to learn (also as self-study) and teach through the medium of distance learning. Presented against the background of those sources analyzed is the programme Po polsku po Polsce devised as an integrated cultural-language course of instruction for those at the level of A1.
