Barbara Mitrenga Logo ORCID

Abstract

The author's main aim in the article is to present the state of historical-linguistic education based on comparing the curricula in Polish philology studies implemented in ten Polish universities in the academic year 2023/2024. The reference point for the considerations made was selected opinions of linguists on the academic didactics of historical-linguistic courses since 2000. The collected data was discussed and compared quantitatively and qualitatively with a report from 2014 developed by the linguistics education team at the Linguistics Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences under the supervision of Krystyna Kleszczowa. The comparison concerns the number of hours in historical-linguistic courses in 1st and 2nd cycle studies, the courses taught, and their sequence in the education cycle. Next, the author discussed new educational opportunities offered by e-learning and digital tools. The last part of the article presented a new curriculum of Polish philology 1st cycle studies in the field of didactics of historical-linguistic courses, implemented from the academic year 2024/2025 at the University of Silesia in Katowice as part of the so-called New Conception of Studies.
