Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to present the issue of teaching Polish in a school class in which at least one student uses Polish as a second language. Researchers dealing with this issue suggest the need to develop materials for teaching Polish as a second language for all educational stages. This article addresses this issue and also provides an introduction to wider research aimed at developing a workshop for a Polish teacher who teaches in a classroom with students with migration experience. The basic question that guides the considerations here relates to the effectiveness of teaching: how to teach and what educational activities to use to engage in the teaching process for both of the groups of students: for whom Polish is the first language and for whom it is a second language? The text presents teaching methods used in international education and suggestions for their adaptation in Polish language lessons in multicultural classes.
