Specyfika nauczania dialektologii na polonistyce w Iwano-Frankiwsku w perspektywie glottodydaktycznej

The article discusses the specificity of teaching Polish dialectology and dialectology terms in the context of teaching students of Polish Studies at the Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University in Ivano-Frankivsk. This knowledge is expected to help students understand the linguistic diversity in Poland, and prepare them to teach the language in different contexts. It is also intended to boost their understanding of dialectal differences in the Polish language, which may be relevant to linguistic, literary, and cultural studies. A course in Polish dialectology should help the students realise that there are other systems of communication than the literary language, to convince them that dialect is not an inferior system of communication, but simply a different one. Studying dialectology also facilitates the understanding of developmental processes that have taken place over the history of Polish, and those that are taking place in the contemporary language.
