The author argues that orthophonic exercises need to be urgently included in Polish language teaching. It is important not only because such exercises help to develop a student’s speech organs; they are generally beneficial in personal development, as well as supporting Polish language education. She also points to problems which many Polish people come across concerning correct articulation, and she presents the origins of such struggles: the influence of new media as well as the negligence of this matter at school. The article presents various orthophonic exercises, presents their aims and rules of employing them in Polish language teaching. Moreover, the author explains how to organise these exercises during Polish language classes.

Abstract The use of mass communication in the field of foreign language teaching is not a new phenomenon, because traditional media have been in use in this area for a few decades. Nowadays, however, several tendencies confirming the scale of this phenomenon can be observed. Mass media, and new media in particular, are used both in the process of self-education and as an important tool used by foreign language teachers. Technological progress, the communication revolution, the spread of the Internet, and the development of new media and mobile technologies offer modern and more effective methods of language education. This article reviews the conditions relating to the relationship between mass media and language learning, taking into account the possibility of using one of the key functions of mass communication, namely its educational function. The authors, using literature analysis, defined and analyzed the causes of specific symbiosis between media tools and technologies as well as the methodology used in the field of foreign language teaching.

The article concerns the post-war literary song in Polish language education in secondary schools, i.e. the place of authors and texts representing poetic songs, poems set to music, author’s song and the opinion of a generation at the Polish language classes. Besides such authors as Ewa Demarczyk, Agnieszka Osiecka, Wojciech Młynarski, Jacek Kaczmarski (perceived not through the prism of intertextual measures: painting or biblical one, but as a bard of “Solidarity”, i.e. the author of “The Walls”), Grzegorz Ciechowski’s work ‘Do not ask about Poland ‘ was considered. On the example of the poems by Kamil Baczyński which were sung by Demarczyk, texts written by Kaczmarski and Ciechowski, they were discussed the artistry, the topics and evaluation of poetic song from the perspective of educational axiology.

Parallel with the invention of new media and devices, the problem of achieving and sustaining attention in the classrooms and during individual work of students, increases. Using comics is one approach to address this problem. In this paper the analysis of comics usage in learning materials for German language classes for fifth – eight grade of elementary school is given. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the usage of comics in presentation and practising. Forty textbooks and workbooks from different authors and publishers have been analysed.

Chinese Government

Since the start of the twenty-first century, English has come to be seen by the Chinese government as a linchpin of its continued economic and political influence. Its resultant efforts to promote innovation in English language teaching align with the aspirations of a population, many of whom regard competency in English as a determiner of opportunity and success in their careers, and thus a vehicle through which to provide a good quality of life for themselves and their families. However, despite government-driven initiatives to improve English language education, change has been slow to materialize, especially outside of the main urban areas of Eastern China. Here, we report on a study that sought to explore the constraints governing attempts by teachers of English to innovate in universities located in some of the so-called ‘hinterland’ regions of Southwestern China. Key determinants that emerged, and which we discuss, included time pressure and competing priorities; scepticism towards new ideas; lack of investment in resources; the primacy of the textbook; students’ language proficiency; and opportunities for professional development. Together, these findings indicate the need for a change of culture if innovation is to be welcomed, both in principle and in practice, as a driver of positive change in the teaching of English in these universities. Teachers, their line managers, and university senior managers need to feel willing and able to engage freely in constructive and informed discourse, and in doing so consider recalibrating institutional priorities, thereby helping reconcile the pressures and tensions currently experienced by English language teachers and which impede progress.

Abstract As a result of growing mobility and migration flows, the number of non-native speakers of Dutch in Belgium and the Netherlands have gradually increased over the past decades and so have the number of people enrolled in Dutch as a Second Language education. While there is huge variation in the profiles of these non-native speakers, they almost exclusively have in common that their Dutch sounds, in some way and at some stage, accented. In line with worldwide trends in foreign language teaching, the pronunciation goal in Dutch as a Second Language education has shifted from native-like to intelligible. Indeed, the notion of intelligibility has become prominent in language teaching and assessment. In this paper, we discuss the complexity of this notion and set it off against related terms like ‘comprehensibility’ and ‘foreign accent’. Through a literature review, we argue that intelligibility is an interactional and context-sensitive phenomenon: it is as much a responsibility of the speaker as it is of the listener or conversational partner(s) in general, whose attitudes will have an impact on the intelligibility and thus on the conversational flow and communicative success. After reviewing literature on the intelligibility of Dutch as a Second Language, we end by formulating some promising lines for future research.
