Cooperation with other countries

Our University Unit has a typically didactic character, therefore the cooperation with foreign countries is mainly based on exchange of experiences in the field of education, especially the new trends in the foreign language teaching methodology. Since the accession to the European Union, the learning of foreign languages in Poland has gone far beyond the framework of traditional textbooks. The sense of belonging to the multinational community has enriched the foreign language learning process with multicultural and interdisciplinary aspects. This is no more a process of knowledge transfer, describing the structural or lexical basis of a language – it also focuses on proper functioning and communication in different cultures as well as in specific occupational groups. This is the reason why modern language teaching methods not only pay attention to the correctness of both spoken and written statements, but also include breaking down cultural stereotypes and introduce specialist language from various fields.

Technological development with its modern teaching aids also has an impact on language teaching methods in order to make learning more attractive and compatible with reality around us. The communication and exchange of ideas and experiences with educational institutions with a similar profile as the Foreign Languages Centre has become crucial.

Every Language Team cooperates with institutions from different countries.
