Abstract:

The article approaches the question of how provisions for the 2008 core curriculum are implemented at lower secondary school within the sub-area of linguistic awareness. It also covers, how Polish language grammar is taught, and student results. Data was obtained from the study: Didactics of literature and Polish language in middle school under the new core curriculum, including results from: tests measuring knowledge and skills involving linguistic awareness, non-participant observation of language classes, information collected from interviews with teachers and students, and questionnaires. The analysis of this varied data allowed construction of a multi-faceted image of linguistic awareness teaching in middle school which emerged to appear highly traditional and geared towards theoretical knowledge of the Polish language. This model does not satisfy the principles for functional language teaching, as prescribed by the new core curriculum. This may explain, why many middle school students experience difficulty in the application of their abstract knowledge to practical situations.
