The author describes desirable paths of changes in Polish language school education. Base for the analysis is the research conducted in 2017 on students’ attitude towards Polish language as a subject, as well as students’ works created during the distance learning in 2020.  According to the author, any changes in the curriculum should be preceded by research conducted on students in order to determine their needs and skills. Addressing changes to unspecified target is the main reason for ill-success of the reforms which were introduced during the past 20 years. Polish language teaching in schools of each level should be more focused on enhancing students’ linguistic skills. The changes should also include the sphere of literature, culture, and media knowledge. The author points to the fact that the reform should involve also teachers-to-be and the way they are prepared for teaching, as well as further education of Polish language teachers.

The Impact

In connection with the harsh situation in the world in the spring of 2020, there was a problem with the organisation of school education throughout Russia. This article is devoted to the influence of distance learning on the results of the unified state exam in Mathematics (profile level). First of all, the dynamics of the total number of participants in the Maths exam over the past three years was considered. The article goes on to analyse the changes that occurred in 2020 in the content of control and measurement materials for Kostroma Region. The results of the exam participants were analysed in several groups – those who had not reach the minimum score, those who had scored 40 points or less, from 41 to 60 points, from 61 to 80 points and from 81 to 100 test points. Methods of qualitative and quantitative assessment (Pearson's criterion is applied) of percentage distributions of results of exam participants in various groups for 2019-20 years are described. Conclusions are drawn about the impact of the distance learning period on the results of the Maths exam.

Reflecting on the experience of teaching two fully online papers in Chinese at the Bachelor of Arts (Chinese) program at Auckland University of Technology (AUT) (delivered for a total of ten times since 2008), the object of this paper is to examine the problems along the way, and to address issues which arise. The problems are all pedagogical by nature, instead of being technical concerns upon which a large proportion of online language teaching research has been focused. The issues at stake are two very important assumptions: that there exists a Virtual Classroom, and that one can move the class to the cyberspace and build an Online Learning Community in online language teaching. Discussions are centred on the changing learner profile and the changed learner behaviours in online learning, and their far-reaching impacts on the way we traditionally teach. This author argues that both assumptions are mere myths, and urges a re-think of the online pedagogical approaches which still treat online courses as “classes” and insist on building the online learning community to re-invent traditional classroom-learning in cyberspace. An urgent call is then made for a radical pedagogical shift in online language teaching from teacher-centred approaches towards a personalised, small-group orientated, multi-dimensional model of teaching. In this spirits, a proposal on online language teaching design is formulated with specific and practical suggestions for online language teachers.

This article discusses Aimiri Baraka‘s concern with the history of black people in his poem ―Beginnings: Malcolm‖. The writers try to shed some light on the way Baraka‘s historiography challenges the white supremecist discourses through a rewriting of the African American past that blurs the boundaries of myth and history, fact and fiction, in a postmodern manner. It is argued that through the use of the central African myth of Esu/Elegba and drawing on traditions of Christianity and Western literature/culture, Baraka‘s poem offers an uncanny insight into the past.

Our first Window of Practice contribution introduces a simple and effective language teaching technique called loops, which was developed as a part of the act and speak® method at Jeviste, a language school in Prague that specializes in using drama and theatre in language teaching. Loops allow for an intensive, focused, and engaging practice of narrowly selected language points, and they provide an easy start for improvisation and creative writing activities. The essence of loops lies in combining dramatic play with language drills in the form of repetitive dialogues. The dialogues must bear two important features: ambiguity and dramatic tension. The article provides suggestions on how teachers can create their own loops, and it describes the way loops can be used in the language classroom.

Our understanding of the nature of teacher competence shapes the way we conceptualize the nature of teacher learning, and in turn, how we design teacher training and teacher development programs for language teachers. In this paper I will briefly consider 10 qualities or characteristics of exemplary language teachers in an attempt to conceptualise the nature of competence, expertise, and professionalism in language teaching. 教師の能力の本質に対する我々の理解が、教師の学びの特質を概念化する方法に影響を与えているが、同様に、語学教師のための教師養成と教師研修プログラムを計画する際にも影響を与えている。本論では、典型的な語学教師の10の資質・特徴を簡潔に述べ、語学教育における教師の能力、専門知識、専門性などの特質の概念化を試みる。

<p>In recent years the topic of intercultural language teaching has attracted considerable research interest, few in the form of empirical studies of teachers' belief related to intercultural language teaching. Arguing the need to make a clear direction for further research of this kind, this paper intends to review the common issues investigated in these studies, and the similarities or differences between their findings. The review found the research focus of these studies can be mainly divided into six categories: teachers’ teaching objectives of language teaching and culture teaching; language teachers’ distribution of teaching time; the content and the way of language teachers culture teaching; language teachers’ belief on ICC and ILT; students’ attitudes towards ILT; and the degree of teachers familiarity with foreign culture. Apart from language teachers’ distribution of teaching time, the way of language teachers’ cultural teaching and language teachers’ belief on ICC, the findings of other aspects vary among different studies, even in the same study. In light of these findings, factors affecting the above differences and areas for further research are suggested.</p>

The article presents lexical terminology of children relating to their age, which are present in the region of Pogórze Ciężkowicko-Rożnowskie (on the border of tarnowskie and nowosądeckie counties). The Language material was gathered by means of a questionnaire. It was answered by almost 200 people, who represent two age groups: middle-school students, and the oldest inhabitants of the area in question. The results revealed significant differences in the way a child is perceived by the students and by the oldest generation. The respondents representing these two groups determine different caesura for adulthood, and they also justify this choice differently. Lexical terminology of children relating to their age constitutes a significantly larger number of lexical items in the language of the older inhabitants of Pogórze. Students more frequently quote names common in general Polish language, both in its colloquial and regional form. Older respondents are more keen to use differentiating dialectal terms, including lexical items referring to the past reality of village life. Students are familiar mainly with the dialectal lexical items for children that are widespread in the area in question and have numerous derivatives.
