Summary/Abstract: The author analyses four selected series of textbooks used for teaching Polish in primary school. Particular attention is drawn to exercise books due to situational exercises they contain to encourage students to analyse communication situations and their typical language behaviours. They also help the learners formulate effective utterances adequate to a specific context. The conducted research shows that a communicative perspective is not well-represented in school textbooks. Activities focusing on development of communicative competence are rarely devised and they tend to be scattered or separated from other language activities. Thus, they do not fit into a general textbook concept and often are only a decoration added as is required from the core curriculum.
