Overview:

The study, with its didactic "flourish", resembles to a large extent a complete textbook for learning Polish. This is a great success and shows that its authors have managed to approach the development of oral linguistic production skills in a holistic way. My final assessment of the described material is very high. It exudes didactic professionalism and extensive teaching experience of its authors. It should occupy an important place among modern materials for teaching Polish as a foreign and second language.- from the review of prof. dr hab. Przemysław E. Gębal The textbook "I speak Polish. Exercises for foreigners ”by Monika Gworys and Anna Mądrecka is a very valuable, long-awaited position, filling a serious gap in the publishing market in the field of teaching Polish as a foreign language. It is a comprehensive set of activities forteaching, learning, and evaluating the speaking skills.- from the review of prof. dr hab. Iwona Janowska  About the bookI speak Polish. Exercises for foreigners is a textbook whose main task is to develop speaking skills for people who know the Polish language up to the pre-intermediate level. It uses the assumptions of the communicative and task-oriented approach; emphasis was also placed on the development of intercultural competence. The publication is addressed to young people and adults who learn Polish as a foreign language or Polish is their second or inherited language. By using the book, the learner can develop independence and creativity in building statements and achieve freedom of communication in various situations of everyday life. The textbook can be used both during standard courses of Polish as a foreign language (individual lesson units may constitute a summary of larger batches of material) and during lessons preparing for the certificate exam.It will also be a good textbook for conversational classes in Polish as a foreign language. You can work with it during organized classes in groups and individually (independently or under the supervision of a teacher). The textbook covers the A1 and A2 language proficiency levels. It has been divided into two corresponding parts. Each of them consists of ten lesson units, which are concentrated around selected thematic circles, described in the "Curricula of Polish as a Foreign Language. Levels A1 – C2 ”(2016). On the introductory cards to the individual parts marked as A2 you can find, among others: a general description of the level of language proficiency and speaking skills, information on the structure of the certificate exam, as well as instructions on how to perform tasks during the oral exam. All lesson units have a similar structure. The chapters usually start with pre-communication tasks aimed at focusing the learner's attention on the topic of the lesson, thus recalling and gathering the necessary vocabulary and grammatical structures. Communication activities designed to develop fluency and fluency are the main part of each chapter. This is achieved, among others, by sample patterns and various visual-textual stimuli, helping to plan the content of the statement.These tasks have been arranged in order from the most structured to those requiring the learner's creativity. In the second (A2) part, each chapter concludes with a set of sample certification tasks from the speaking module. Their structure corresponds to those applicable during the oral exam (see www.certyfikatpolski.pl), but in the textbook they have been expanded in such a way as to prepare the learners for their implementation. For the first lesson at A2 level, recordings of the model exam statements were attached, which can be used as a model for the learner.Each teaching unit contains various auxiliary information: grammatical and lexical, stylistic and cultural. The latter appear in the content of the tasks and as additional information. The manual implements linguistic activities covering reception, production, interaction and mediation. The techniques used include: inference based on graphic materials, preparation of comics, questions and answers, description of the situation, summary, statement according to the given scheme, interview, simulations of the situation and role-playing, statements based on authentic materials (e.g. posters, leaflets, infographics, photos, diagrams and charts), discussion, statement based on the text (e.g. press and internet articles and excerpts from books), presentation.We hope you will enjoy the textbook I speak Polish. Exercises for foreigners, and it will be a useful help in developing your speaking skills during various types of courses or conversational classes, and will also facilitate preparation for the certificate exam in Polish as a foreign language.
