he research problem addressed in this article concerns the method of constructing images of “otherness” and of “the Other” by authors of Polish multicultural literature for young readers in the last two decades. Multicultural literature is defined as literature that challenges a social order that is based on discrimination against minority groups. Multicultural literature deconstructs cultural stereotypes and prejudices and promotes intercultural dialogue and inclusiveness. Weronika Kostecka assumes that due to the ethnic and national homogeneity of Polish society, a literary character that uses a language other than Polish, has a skin color other than white, or cultivates other traditions than those commonly identified as Polish, is perceived (in an intra-textual sense and probably also by many prospective young readers) as “the Other.” This leads her to consider — from a postcolonial perspective — the difference between the concepts of otherness and cultural diversity; she points out that the former concept is related to privileging only one — dominant and ego-centric — way of perceiving socio-cultural reality. Finally, Kostecka analyzes the construct of “the Other” on the basis of Polish children’s literature about refugees. She argues that the authors focus on the trauma experienced by the characters as a result of forced migration and solely on their identity as refugees. In conclusion, Kostecka points out that this way of creating refugee stories significantly limits characterization, although it probably serves to emphasize the ethical responsibility of target readers.

This article presents the ideas of factfulness created by H. Rosling and “new realism” presented by R. Bregman in his book Homo Sapiens. The author connects these ideas with subjects and topics present in obligatory reading according to “Podstawa Programowa” [core curriculum]. The author is convinced that “people are better than we think” (Bregman, 2020) and that we should use critical thinking and the idea of factfulness. In this article, she analyses whether those obligatory books are somehow still up-to-date for primary school students and presents some alternative books worth reading in class in order to bring hope and an optimistic look at the future of humanity.

Addressing the challenges of the contemporary world, the climate crisis among them, Samanta Dryja-Zabielska presents her reflections on the function of assigned reading at school and on the role of the teacher in educating young generations. After analyzing the core curriculum and the texts of Polish educators, she goes on to recommend methodological pluralism in literary education. This idea consists in taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the ecocritical reading model in combination with the ethical and intertextual methods of reading literary texts. Dryja-Zabielska presents the main assumptions of these two methods and justifies her choice. A comparative analysis of poems by Czesław Miłosz and Artur Rojek enables her topoint out references to traditional literary and cultural motifs. In the final part of her article, the author emphasizes the role of the teacher, who needs to be open towards the Other: both the student and the literary text. The aim of this approach is not solely to make possible an intellectual and an emotional experience, but also to teach students how to be critical and responsible readers as well as creators of culture and the surrounding world.

The work focuses on pedagogical translation as motivational tool. In particular, as a tool that works on the motivation of the beginner L2 student. The specific working language is Czech, but we believe that what has been observed may also apply to other languages, whose teaching is characterized by a small number of students. The aim is to offer a theoretical and practical framework to better frame translation as a teaching tool even for beginners L2 at the University. After presenting what we mean with lower-frequency language, pedagogical translation and beginner group, we move into the work with translation and how this activity fits into the investigation of motivations in the LS.

The aim of the article is to consider whether Agata Tuszyńska and Iwona Chmielewska’s publication is a literary redefinition of the act of testimony. The author analyzes the relationship between text and image, at the same time referring to the life-writing trend. Moreover, the author raises questions about the relationship between the borrowed past and collective memory. In the article, the author also draws attention to the creation of a child’s perspective, which is mainly generated through the mother tongue. The parent is the only person who creates the imaginary synthesis of the individual elements of Polish culture in miniature. Therefore, the author analyzes the stylization aspect of Tuszyńska’s story on the child’s perception, which often turns out to be simultaneously inscribing the extreme situation into the space of a fairy tale.

On the basis of diaries and memoires of children of the Holocaust (Rywka Lipszyc, Renia Knoll, Helga Weissova, Dawid Sierakowiak, Dawid Rubinowicz, Maryla, and Rutka Laskier), Justyna Szewczyk outlines the image of God that emerges in the minds of the protagonists. Using the methodology of the linguistic image of the world, she analyzes this image based on a number of categories: God as seen in tradition and in everyday life; God as seen through feelings, through human identity, fate, suffering, and fatherhood. Of great importance in extrapolating the image of God found in diaries and memoirs is personalization. Personalization manifests itself, for example, in replacing God’s central position, during religious holidays and festivals, with human problems; in transferring God’s traditional competencies to the worst enemies; and in describing God in terms which are familiar to children (spatial ones and those related to the senses). In the analyzed texts, God also acquires a historical coloring: as the creator of tradition and the performer of great miracles in the past, but also as an entity whose presence is no longer experienced today. Some personal accounts testify to a psychological manner of perceiving God, as when the protagonist transfers to God tasks not fulfilled by his or her earthly father.

The article shows the universality of Dr. Jacek Kurek’s conception of teaching through rapture. Originally used in teaching history, this idea can be successfully adapted to lessons of the Polish language, literature and culture. Alicja Podstolec indicates three interpenetrating levels of didactic activity: unusual use of school space, building relationships with students and a congenial atmosphere in classes, and various educational activities that give the teacher the opportunity to implement the principles of teaching through rapture (involving the use of music, literature, and painting to create a space for experience and emotions). Podstolec shows that the idea of experiencing rapture, as conducive to cognition, also works well in the space of Polish language lessons, but should never be a simple duplication of solutions and ideas of other educators.

This article is an attempt to examine whether literature can be a remedy for the problems faced by children of different ages. The report Children’s rights from the perspective of children, parents and teachers was published in 2019 by UNICEF Polska. It has been used to diagnose the reasons for unhappiness among children aged 12—17. Among the reasons are: school and education, relationships with loved ones, relationships with peers. In her article, Katarzyna Kotaba refers to such authorities as Irena Borecka, Maria Molicka, and Bruno Bettelheim and to their unanimous opinion that good and valuable literature takes seriously children, their concerns and difficulties; moreover, this kind of literature helps children to overcome difficulties by building their self-confidence. Kotaba identifies the main thematic motifs in Gawryluk’s fiction and shows how this writer’s novels can help under-age readers cope in specific life situations, such as the parents’ divorce, emigration, and racism. In conclusion, she suggests that Gawryluk’s novels could be regarded as a cure for young readers’ problems as identified in the UNICEF report.
