The aim of this article is to reflect on the initial training of teachers in line with the assumptions of multilingual didactics. A definition of plurilingual competence is given at the beginning of this article. We then discuss briefly about the main assumptions of plurilingual teaching. The next part of the article deals with the philosophy of educating future foreign language teachers in philological studies, which should be largely based on reflection. The article concludes with the analysis of data obtained from students participating in teacher education classes. The aim of the study was to diagnose whether the self-awareness of potential subjects, as given to them by the multilingual competence, could contribute to innovative teaching.
Modern language policy in Europe has put forward the concept of multilingualism,and with this plurilingual competence. The definitions of both phenomenacan be found in numerous documents of the Council of Europe, especiallyin the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.The authors of this document describe multilingual communication in somedetail, where the native speaker user is beyond the scale. A lot of attention iscurrently being given to issues of multilingualism in education, with numerousarticles, suggestions for teaching activities and tools to develop related skills.This article raises the question of the preparation of future teachers of languageswhich will be taught as the second foreign language (L3) and how plurilingualcompetence can be developed in the classroom. The study, conductedamong students of Romance languages answers the following questions.Are students, who are future L3 language teachers, adequately preparedto develop plurilingual competence in their students? Do they have theappropriate knowledge and practical skills to do this? What are their beliefsregarding the role of different languages when teaching the L3 target language?
The aim of this article is to present the results of a sociological study diagnos-ing the reasons and circumstances for the choice of French as a second foreign language by Polish youth in secondary schools. In our study, we focused on two groups of factors. The first of these concerns systemic solutions that affect the position and perception of French as a second foreign language taught in secondary schools as a consequence of the organization of foreign language teaching in Polish schools. The second group of factors is related to students themselves and, more specifically, to social representations they have about French and its learning, language biography and experiences stemming from contacts with French beoynd school. Our goal was to determine if and how these factors have the power to influence the motivation to study French in secondary schools. The study was a survey and included a sample of over 500 secondary school students from Warsaw and nearly 400 secondary school students from the Świętokrzyskie Province.
The aim of our article is to present a study of representations of the French language among Polish high school students. Given the small percentage of pupils learning French as Foreign Language (FFL) in Poland compared to the European average (33.17% of middle school students and 23.0% of high school students in Europe against 3.3% of middle school students and 10.8% of high school students in Poland (Eurydice 2017, GUS 2018), we wondered about the role that impressions relating to French can play in the choice or rejection of FFL by young Poles. Before presenting our research results relating to this problem, we give a brief description of the Polish sociolinguistic and educational context, then we approach the notion of representation / image of languages. Next, we move to the description of the methodological framework of the empirical study that we conducted with Polish-speaking high school students (learners and non-learners in FFL) before presenting the discussion of the results. On the one hand, we examined the impressions relating to French (defined as linguistic, aesthetic, cultural, social and political phenomenon), on the other representations relating to its usefulness.
The objective of our study is to verify to what extent the mediation activities as well as its strategies presented in the CEFR VC are the subject of foreign language teaching in Poland. Initially, to mark out the field of our research, we find it essential to examine the notion of mediation in the context of the foreign language didactics. Second, we will try to answer the following question: how can we operationalize this notion in the practice of teaching FL? To this end, we will review the different types of mediation activities listed in CEFR VC (2018) and we will present the results of a survey carried out among foreign language teachers in Poland in order to find out whether they use meditation activities in their classroom practice, and if so, to what extent. The results of our analyses will allow us to identify the state of play with regard to the teaching of mediation in the Polish educational context as well as to formulate some recommendations for teachers and leads for future research to follow.
