Summary/Abstract: The author of the article presents – having considered the literature on the subject– selected issues of teaching the category of the Polish grammatical gender in Ukrainian-speaking environment. A novelty of the analysis is to perceive consistently two possibilities of qualification and assessment of some types of errors: from the „internal” perspective of the Polish language system and from the „external” perspective – the first language of a person making mistake and the entire pragmatic areola of the expression. Taking into account the second, partly psycholinguistic position, gives an opportunity to admit: a) some alternative solutions to existing ones in error typologies in the Polish language of Ukrainians and other Polish speakers coming from the East, b) varied assessment of grammatical gender errors, made depending on the influence of such factors as lack of the competence as well as other psychophysical ones. Attention is also paid to the necessity of teaching foreign students of Polish studies in a way that enables them to apply effectively the theory of gender in linguistic practice and future glottodidactic activities.
