Muzyka alternatywna jako punkt wyjścia do dialogu międzykulturowego
Alternative music as a stimulus for intercultural dialogue

Summary/Abstract: The article contains reflection about usefulness of the songs classified as alternative/indie music for didactics of Polish language and culture. The author proves that numerous songs from this group contain rich representation of Polish linguaculture as well as present discursive attitude towards the cultural references. Both features make alternative/indie music a valuable source for searching of the lyrics which can give an impulse to compare cultures, seek understanding within different cultures as well as initiate discussion on Polish culture. The theoretical background for the article is set by the discussion taking place among Polish glottodidactics researchers for the last 20 years. In the final part of the article author refers to a few examples of songs used in his own teaching practice. The author compares his subjective selection of the titles with teaching programs in Polish culture for foreigners.
