The article concerns the problem of incorporation of elements of the reader’s response conception into literary and cultural education. The theory of reader’s response was developed by Wolfgang Iser, Stanley Fish and — in some sense — also by Norman Holland. In Polish didactic tradition, it would be necessary to refer to the works of Kazimierz Wóycicki, the inventor of the concept of aesthetic experience (impression), which — according to Wóycicki — is crucial in the process of reading or experiencing each work of art. Currently, the idea of using a reader’s response strategy (or just its variation) in literary education is popular, especially in Australia and Ireland. The author reports on the lectures delivered by Brenton Doecke and Larissa McLean Davies during the 10th IAMTE (today ARLE) Conference in Odense (Denmark) in June 2015, and describes a new model of Living Certificate exams in Ireland. Both attempts seem to be very encouraging as the ways of bringing literature close to life in the area of education.

The evolution of reading proceeds from a trustful and affirmative perspective to that of suspicion and criticism. This is supported by required reading lists and the choice of preferable lesson topics and issues to be discussed with pupils. The outcome is an overwhelming majority of readings, which are the testimony of human grandness as much as human misery. The author identifies possible practices of reading which reveal goodness in the world and individuals. This task is, in author’s opinion, a teacher of literature’s duty.

The aim of this paper is to show the role of contact with art on the development of a creative personality through the educational process. The task of modern education should be to form a creative human being who is capable of change, seeking, fitted with imagination to transform reality. Experiencing art affects our understanding of the self, others and the world due to the fact that it engages emotions and the mind and thus combines sensory perception of personal, cultural and social factors. Contact with different types of art, understood as the perception and creative activity, promotes improvement of abilities important for the intellectual development of a person, such as: active study, choice making, contextual applications, association and completing. Art provides stimuli for the intellectual, emotional and aesthetic development, allows the formation of an entity active in many fields. The paper presents examples of work models and teaching activities that develop the creative skills needed not only in art but also in other areas.

The article Why teaching poetry is important? is devoted to methods of teaching poetry at school. The starting point is an analysis of the curricula at all stages of education. The issue of readership in Poland also becomes an important research context. Searching for the answer to the question raised in the title, leads us through evaluation of various approaches to teaching poetry at school and an analysis of the selection of texts for students. The influence of popular culture on young people imagination seems to be equally important in the context of the considered issue. Teaching poetry might become a pivotal way of creating young readers’ sensitivity in opposition to the meager message conveyed by popular culture.The arguments presented in the article refer to a few layers of influence lyrics have on the reader. Interpretation is treated as a way of practicing analysis and synthesis of formally complicated and ambiguous texts. Moreover, interacting with various poetic works is shown as a possibility for mature interpretation. An aesthetic experience and its influence on the shaping of human sensitivity become a key point. The author believes that the universal values conveyed in literature might enrich a young reader with multiple, entirely new experiences. Furthermore, learner’s interest in reading poetry equals a sense of elitism and uniqueness, which seems to be sought after in the contemporary world.

The article concerns making use of psychological knowledge during Polish language lessons. It describes three methods of teaching. The first method, that of creating a psychobiography, can enliven the traditional form of a character study written by students. The second method concerns social psychology. Based on the example of the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding, it is shown how elements of knowledge about group dynamics psychology can be incorporated into the Polish language class. The third method is related to the play Romeo and Juliet. It is shown how we can talk about the dynamics of love and the specifics of its phases during classes about this play. All three proposals refer in their sources to an ethical turnabout and allow for a more personal encounter with a literary work. They also introduce literature into an outside-school context.
