Summary/Abstract: This publication discusses the consequences of text-oriented model of education in three aspects: on the level of higher education, in the work of active Polish language teachers and in the context of the current needs of high school students. These issues are presented on the basis of the author’s own experience as an academic teacher, in reference to opinion of her students, and also of the other Polish language teachers from Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship. The text‑oriented model of education raises an urgent need to adapt higher education curricula to new competence requirements placed upon teachers. The graduates of the Polish studies should be equipped with the ability to interpret complex texts on culture reaching beyond the known methodologies of explanation of literary work. Short training courses in the interpretation of cultural texts are proposed for the secondary school teachers. The author discusses the example of an eighty-hour course entitled Interpretation of Cultural Texts. With regard to the needs of high school students, the author recommends preparation of manuals and handbooks adapted to the new formula of the matura examination. The author emphasizes the importance of teaching methods adequate to the interdisciplinary nature of the discussed issues and draws special attention to the qualities of poetic ekphrasis in school teaching.
