Abstract

Background: The article is a contribution to the description of historical-linguistic education from a glottodidactic perspective. Purpose: The main purpose of the sketch is to remind that the introduction of selected historical-linguistic problems, in addition to the fact that it trains the basic skills (listening comprehension, reading comprehension, enriched by the understanding of the ancient text), also allows to explain certain phenomena observed in the language, facilitates the understanding of grammar, promotes the learning of new vocabulary, Polish history and culture, but also the history of the Slavs, which translates into a better knowledge of the language and the improvement of cultural and communicative competence. The starting point in the text is to look at the place of the title issues in the curricula of selected Ukrainian Polish schools (Lviv, Kharkiv). With regard to the training of individual competencies, it is necessary to refer to the problems of language development. Thus, one of the goals of the article is to give suggestions for introducing historical-language issues in classes. Results: The general content that allows integrating historical-linguistic and historical-literary knowledge, in connection, for example, with the history of Poland or knowledge of geography, is presented here. However, the proposal discussed here is concerned with grammatical problems – mainly the development of the adjective, side by side also issues of verbal inflection. The theoretical argument is complemented by a discussion of the results of a survey questionnaire, which collected the opinions of Ukrainian-speaking Polish language students on historical-linguistic education. We learn, among other things, that the indicated content is difficult for the students to learn, but made more than half of them curious. Almost all (92%) furthermore note that this knowledge helps them to learn Polish. Key words: historical linguistic education, history of language, Polish studies in Ukraine, diachrony, glottodidactics
