Summary/Abstract: The effectiveness of dialogue is influenced by the use of language, purposeand some extralinguistic factors. Poland’s accession to the EuropeanUnion, the Arab Spring and events in Syria contributed to theintensification of migration flows. Refugees coming to Poland come fromdifferent civilization circles and are subject to cultural homogenization.The first stage of social integration is to learn the language and becomefamiliar with Polish customs and history. Children join new schools, feelingrestless and frightened, which makes their linguistic incompetenceworse. The child’s natural needs, such as acceptance and self-esteem,cannot be satisfied. Long-term exposure to these phenomena may notonly disrupt the student’s acculturation process but also contribute totheir exclusion.
