Summary/Abstract: The article aims to research locality in contemporary Cracow textbooks for teaching Polish as a foreign language. The problem of locality and its influence on creating the image of Polish culture from the national perspective has been already discussed in Polish language glottodidactics. The researchers working on this subject drew attention to the dominant position of the Cracow centre on the publishing market in the 1990s and the 2000s, which established Cracow as the most important city due to the phenomenon of local centrism, which was clear in older didactic materials. The reason for taking up the subject of locality in contemporary textbooks of Cracow authors is a need to check whether newer studies are characterized by other trends, for example, greater versality, presenting local issues from the perspective of national culture or showing Polish “internal multiculturalism”. The subject of analysis are the tasks and exercises in which “local Cracow lexis” is present. The study included seven textbooks published after 2010. The analysis of cultural content included in these publications allows to search for answers to questions about the role of local issues in newer didactic materials. The research is part of the field of glotto-cultural studies, which analyse textbooks and other didactic materials.
