Introduction
This English Curriculum is intended to be used by students who have entered primary language
education in a second language in primary school, and therefore provides for the continued learning of
the foreign language. The program is open to:
the described ways of achieving the goals and content should be treated as a proposal, and it is the
responsibility of each teacher to supplement them with the methods of working with the student they
prefer, adequately to the needs and capabilities of the institution where the program is implemented.
Whoever decides to implement the program should take into account the diversity of schools, classes,
groups, learners and therefore educational needs. According to the title of the program, the objectives
and content of language education and the methods of their implementation are aimed at shaping key
competences, because competences are more than knowledge or skills: they are also attitudes.
Knowledge of a foreign language is a key competence in itself and it is one of the competences of the
future. Language skills will be a tool for the learner in the future and they are not an end in themselves.
Therefore, it is worth considering how to work in order to achieve social and motivational goals in addition
to the objective goals. Work on the student's motivation should take into account their need for
individuality, autonomy and uniqueness, the need to develop cultural expression and be based on
cognitive curiosity. Internal motivation is an invaluable driving force - hence the focus on the autonomy
of the student and methods conducive to the development of key competences that will be useful to our
pupils throughout their lives. This is the case with social, digital, learning or technical competences,
which - regardless of the achievement of the subject goals - come to the fore when we realize that our
student -
the charge will function in the future in society, and our task is to prepare him for the challenges of a very
complex and dynamically changing world, including working conditions.
The program is based on the assumptions of constructivism, participation and student orientation:
1. Objective knowledge is necessary, but not an end in itself, the skills and competences based on it are
important.
2. The role of the teacher is not to be a source of knowledge, but to create a positive learning climate
and organize the conditions for acquiring it.
3. The methods and techniques used by the teacher should foster the student's activity, autonomy,
independence and responsibility.
4. Providing students with the opportunity to build knowledge together is one of the basic principles of
effective didactics.
5. The work techniques and tasks used in the didactic process should be student-oriented, adapted to
their psychophysical abilities, interests, and at the same time
close to his potential life experiences.

The core curriculum for a modern foreign language1 loosely refers to CEFR, which is reflected in the
structure of the document. The general objectives (general requirements) and specific requirements
(content) are set out in the basis for five CEFR language activities: knowledge, reception, production,
interaction and mediation -
each time on the level of spoken and written language. The table below
presents the provisions of the core curriculum in terms of the requirements for a second foreign
language at the third stage of education.
Detailed requirements result directly from the provisions of the core curriculum and are presented
below.
See Regulation of the Minister of National Education of 30 January 2018 on the core curriculum
for general education for general secondary schools, technical secondary schools and sector secondary schools.

1) introduces himself and other people;
2) makes social contacts; starts, conducts and ends a conversation (e.g. during a chat conversation);

The above contents should be implemented during the educational stage, the core curriculum does not impose
their implementation in a specific order: the teacher's right is to decide on the implementation of selected
contents in the most convenient, from the point of view of their students' learning, moment of the language
competence education process.
As a rule, teachers determine the order of implementation of the content in the document entitled Material distribution,
following their arrangement in the textbooks selected for the classes taught. The Focus Second Edition 1 and
High Note 2 textbooks organize the contents of each chapter as shown below.

High Note 2
Nevertheless, the textbook is not a determinant of the goals and content of education, and
here also the teacher has the freedom to decide on a possible resignation or the need to
extend specific parts of the material.
In addition to the objectives directly related to language skills, the core curriculum defines:
9

(b) specific objectives for the development of communication and compensation strategies, such as:
- the student uses communication strategies (e.g. guessing the meaning of words from the context,
identifying keywords or internationalisms);
- the student uses compensation strategies when he or she does not know or cannot remember a word
(e.g. simplifying a form of expression, replacing it with another word, description, using non-verbal means);
- the student is linguistically aware (e.g. of similarities and differences between languages).
This program will become an integral part of the school curriculum once it is accepted for implementation in
a given institution. The core curriculum imposes on teams of teachers teaching individual departments the
joint implementation of goals, described as school tasks. The provision of the core curriculum2 applicable
to teachers who follow the core curriculum at the third stage of education is presented below. The analysis
of the records shows that a significant part of the school's tasks can be carried out directly or indirectly
during English lessons.
The aim of general education in general secondary school and technical secondary school is:
1) treating orderly, systematic knowledge as the basis for shaping skills;
2) improving mental and linguistic skills, such as: reading comprehension, creative writing, formulating
questions and problems, using criteria, justifying, explaining, classifying, reasoning, defining, using
examples, etc .;
3) developing the student's personal interests and integrating subject knowledge from various
disciplines;
4) acquiring the ability to formulate independent and thoughtful judgments, justify one's own and other
people's judgments in the process of dialogue in an investigating community;
5) combining critical and logical thinking skills with imaginative and creative skills;
8) developing students' respect for knowledge, developing a passion for learning about the
world and encouraging them to apply the acquired knowledge in practice.

The most important skills acquired by a student during general education in general
secondary school and technical secondary school include:
The synthesis of both types of thinking is the basis for the comprehensive development of the student;
2) reading - the skill that combines the understanding of both meanings and symbolic meanings
statements; key linguistic and psychological skill leading to personal development, active
participation in the community, transfer of experiences between generations;
3) the ability to communicate in the mother tongue and in foreign languages, both in speech and
writing, is a basic social skill, the basis of which is knowledge of linguistic norms and creating the
basis for communication in various communication situations;
4) creative problem solving in various fields with conscious use of methods and tools derived from
computer science, including programming;
5) the ability to efficiently use modern information and communication technologies, including
care for respect for copyrights and safe navigation in cyberspace;
6) the ability to independently reach information, make its selection, synthesis and evaluation,
and reliable use of sources;
7) acquiring the habits of systematic learning, organizing the acquired knowledge and deepening
it;
8) the ability to work in a group and take individual actions.
The provisions of the core curriculum refer to the document of the European Commission of 17
January 2018. There, the key competences that every European should have in order to ensure
their efficient functioning in society have been redefined.
3. Goals of education
The program assumes the implementation of universal goals of education, common to the needs
of all students, individual goals embedded in the tradition of the school and the local community
should be completed in establishments that decide to implement this program. The task of every
teacher is not only teaching, but also
educational. When planning the implementation of educational goals in subject lessons,
11
Machine Translated by Google
assumptions of the preventive and educational program of a given institution should be taken into account.
The school should shape students' socially desirable attitudes and competences, which will
foster - on the one hand - the individual development of students, and on the other - their
participation in social life. The catalog of expected features, behaviors and attitudes is long, so
it should be remembered that each teacher teaching a given team should contribute to shaping
them, to the extent possible for him, which results, for example, from the number of hours of
work with students.
During the lesson, students should develop personal culture, honesty, responsibility,
perseverance, self-esteem, and an attitude of respect for other people. It is also worth developing
their cognitive curiosity, creativity, entrepreneurship, willingness to participate in culture and
take initiatives and teamwork.
These attitudes should be shaped by the teacher's own example and the use of teaching
methods conducive to shaping key competences: e.g. project methods, methods using digital
competences, such as WebQuest or FTC methods, as well as methods and techniques that fit
into the concept of cooperative learning.
The contribution to the formation of specific attitudes should also be the implementation of the
content of education regarding positive patterns of social life, tolerance, culture, etc.
The English language lesson is also a place for shaping citizenship in the context of
respecting the traditions and culture of one's own nation without violating the goods and
traditions of other nations, while at the same time shaping the attitude of openness to other
cultures and traditions, which is to prevent any kind of discrimination or intolerance.
The main goal is the harmonious coexistence of people of different culture, origin, skin color,
social status or education.
The program assumes that a graduate of a general secondary school or technical school will be
prepared to function in a civil society, will become a member of the civil society aware of its
competences, boldly setting and implementing individual goals, without prejudice to other
members of the community.
The adopted method of formulating goals and content in the applicable core curriculum -
education goals as general requirements, and content as detailed requirements - in no way
obliges the teacher to implement them in a specific order. The teacher decides on the distribution
of the material himself, usually with reference to the textbook whose content
he realizes with his students.
To facilitate the division of the content to be implemented throughout the educational phase,
below is a breakdown of the teaching material by topic, grammar and language functions. The
list is based solely on the core curriculum, no reference to any textbook has been accepted.
The program can be implemented with any textbook approved for school use or educational
material, or without a textbook. The order of implementation of individual issues should be
12
Machine Translated by Google
adapted to the needs and teaching materials with which the teacher will work.
The core curriculum indicates thematic blocks and their selected aspects, preceded by the
abbreviation "eg", which suggests the possibility of adding further aspects within a given thematic
block according to the needs of students:
1) human (e.g. personal data, periods of life, physical appearance, character traits, personal
belongings, feelings and emotions, skills and interests);
2) place of residence (e.g. the house and its surroundings, rooms and home furnishings, household
chores);
3) education (e.g. school and its premises, teaching subjects, learning, school supplies, school
grades, school life, extracurricular activities);
4) work (e.g. popular professions and related activities and duties, workplace, casual work, choice
of profession);
5) private life (eg family, acquaintances and friends, activities of everyday life, determining the time,
forms of spending free time, holidays and celebrations, conflicts and problems);
11) health (e.g. lifestyle, well-being, diseases, their symptoms and treatment);
12) science and technology (e.g. inventions, the use of basic technical devices and information and
communication technologies);
13) the natural world (e.g. weather, seasons, plants and animals, landscape, threats and
environmental protection);
14) social life (e.g. social events and phenomena).
The grammar issues proposed in the curriculum result from the specific objectives set out in the
core curriculum. This is not an exhaustive list. The teacher can realize more content, but must adapt
the requirements to the capacity of the group being taught. It should be remembered that the teacher
is obliged to follow the core curriculum of the subject he or she teaches.

Most of the interactions are a bundle of many linguistic functions. The above list does not exhaust the
catalog of functions useful in communication, but it enables interaction at the level required by the core
curriculum.
The implementation of the program assumes the application of standards of didactic procedure3 - the so-called
teaching principles. It is recommended, as far as possible and adequately to the objectives of the lesson, to follow
the rules:
- pictorial;
- accessibility in teaching;
- conscious and active participation of students in the education process;
- regularity;
- the sustainability of students' knowledge;
In accordance with the requirements set by the core curriculum - in terms of implementation conditions -
the implementation of the program should take place in a studio adapted and equipped with teaching aids
for teaching a foreign language. It is recommended to use didactic measures affecting sight, hearing and
touch, as it promotes polysensory teaching.
Recommended are:
- visual aids: picture cards, grammar tables, pictures (including films), natural objects, diagrams, symbols; -
aids for practicing listening comprehension: CD, MP3, CD players, MP3 recordings;
- teaching aids, enabling the use of polysensory teaching, e.g. multimedia projector, TV, computer with
Internet access and projector, if possible an interactive board; possibly (if available) measures automating
the teaching process, e.g. a language laboratory.
Currently, educational publishing houses offer many teaching aids to help learners to master selected
teaching content, and for teachers - to differentiate between forms.

work, i.e. making classes with students more attractive. These include, in addition to the textbook, workbook
and teacher's book, also videos with worksheets, applications for mobile phones (e.g. for learning
vocabulary), additional worksheets, recordings, project work proposals. Often, interactive whiteboard
software is also offered.
All of the above-mentioned components can contribute to increasing the motivation of learners due to their
attractive form, which in turn translates into higher learning outcomes.
complementing the communicative approach with other known methods and techniques of work
adequately to the needs, abilities and preferences of students. In the communicative approach, an important
factor contributing to or limiting the possibilities of achieving educational goals is the size of the group -
the optimal group would be a group of 14–15 people. Such a number allows the use of all social forms,
gives the possibility of individualising work with students and their participation in the activities carried out
during the lessons. It is worth taking care of the division into groups at the level of the facility where the
program is implemented. If this is not possible at the branch level, interdepartmental groups can be created.
The analysis of the above statements allows us to draw the following conclusions. The student should be
informed what goal he or she will achieve at the end of the stage of education and how to achieve what goals
18

this will enable him to make a conscious decision to what extent these goals are his goals, that
is, they are of value to him. One should also take care of shaping the learner's autonomy,
including independence and responsibility for the choices that must be offered, for example, by
co-deciding on the form, time, manner of executing a sentence or offering a choice of two options.
The tasks proposed to students should be an intellectual challenge for them and create a chance
for success, i.e. they should not be too easy or too difficult: otherwise they have a demotivating
effect on the students.
In order to achieve the objectives of this program, it is planned to use methods and techniques of
work that can be used to develop key competences in students, with particular emphasis on the
development of competences:
a) learning;
b) social;
c) digital;
in terms of preparing the student to function in the future as a member of the community. The
above assumptions are met by the project method4 , which is a method boils down
of education
to the factwhich
that a
team of learners independently initiate, plan and carry out a certain project and evaluate its
performance. [...] It is best if the source of the project is the world of everyday life, and not -
abstract science. The starting point should be a problematic situation, an intention, taking some
initiative, setting a goal, and the reaching point - a broadly understood project5 .
All teachers are obliged by the core curriculum to use the project method, understood as a group
implementation of a problem task. Project activities are carried out in a planned and phased
manner:
1. choice of topic, formulation of the problem;
2. creating a team, defining the rules of cooperation;
3. formulating goals, planning activities; 4.
monitoring and documenting own work;
5. presentation;
6. project evaluation.
During the project implementation, students develop many skills, such as teamwork, logical
thinking, planning, IT skills, and effective communication skills. Attitudes of responsibility,
regularity, reliability and cooperation are also shaped.
For example, in the High Note series, teachers and students will find a whole range of ready-
made ideas for (mini) projects.

We should also remember that students are eager to implement their ideas. Therefore, it is
worth creating a space for them and developing a bank of project topics with them, which can
be used, each time adapting it to the needs, possibilities and conditions of implementation of
the contractors of a given initiative. The implementation of projects and the presentation of
their results also creates the possibility of shaping the digital competences of students as a
result of the use of tools such as interactive posters, kahoot or prezi.
A method that creates a similar range of possibilities for shaping many key competences as
the project method is the WebQuest6 method , focused on "research
the Internet
by students",
is the starting
in which
source of information. In this method, students are asked to explore a given topic on the basis
of information
found (in the network), but processed and allowing conclusions to be drawn.
The method is attractive in foreign language lessons, because it not only teaches the effective
use of the Internet as a source of information, but also allows you to practice mediation, i.e.
processing information given in a foreign language, and also prompts you to select and verify
the information found.
Other advantages of the method include broadening students' general knowledge and
developing creative thinking. WebQuest is a problem-based method that supports motivation.
The difficulty in working with the WebQuest method is the correct formulation of tasks for
students. They must be constructed so that using the Internet does not come down to checking
information or copying it. For example, the Check Food Prices in a UK Web Store task is not
a WebQuest task. In the WebQuest method , the task could be: You have the amount of PLN
200, plan grocery shopping for a family of four (mom, dad, daughter - 12 years old, son - 6) in
an online store for the weekend. The family should eat 3 main meals and have no food or drink
at home. Make a shopping list in English with the cost of individual food products (check prices
online).
Enter the names of the expected dishes. Then check whether you could buy the same products
in an English online store for PLN 200. In order to convert

Not all tasks based on obtaining information from the Internet are identical to the WebQuest
method, but my experience shows that many textbook tasks can be reformulated into the WebQuest
method, which is attractive to students.
An equally interesting and necessary method, especially when the teacher focuses on
individualisation, may turn out to be the flipped classroom method7 . It consists in shifting the
content from the KNOWLEDGE / INFORMATION area to the extra-curricular area, so that during
the lesson you have more time for the presentation, application of the acquired knowledge and its
evaluation. To achieve this, students should be able to access the educational content at home
before the lesson in which they are to be introduced. This can be done on paper (prepare
e.g. a note for students) or using modern ICT tools, e.g. by providing students with information in
the form of podcasts, videocasts, videos, mp3 recordings, etc.
The teacher plans his lesson on the basis of the material that the students have read before. The
method can be used at any time, it does not require any special revolution in the field of applied
methodological procedures. The teacher's workload consists of finding or creating suitable material
for students. The benefits are undoubted and - what is important - they bring mutual benefits, both
for the teacher and the student -
the teacher has more time in the lesson for exercises, the students are introduced to independence
- the development of the student's autonomy is created and the preparation for lifelong learning
takes place8 . Contrary to appearances, finding a short instructional video, even on grammar
issues, is not a challenge in the Internet age. Working with the flipped classroom method does not
relieve the teacher of responsibility for the course of the teaching process. On the contrary, the
teacher should be particularly vigilant in the process of systematizing the content and processing
information that the students learn by themselves at home, so that they do not perpetuate mistakes.
5.4.4. Developing the student's autonomy and shaping his key competences
Teachers when asked about the most important problem they encounter in language lessons
English, indicate, among others on motivation, or rather the lack of it - reluctance to work with their
students. A whole range has been devoted to considerations about the student's motivation to learn
publication. A DELPHI9 survey was conducted a few years ago , the results of
which were described in detail by Vlastimil Polák 10. The survey asked about effective forms of
learning and teaching. The surveyed teachers listed, for the most part, the forms of learning and
teaching characteristic of the idea of autonomy of learning - they have already appeared

in many concepts of foreign language teaching and are not entirely new. According to the respondents, these
are:
- positive learning and teaching atmosphere;
- taking into account individual predispositions / structures of learning and thinking;
- action-oriented forms of work and lessons;
- teaching methods adequate to the content;
- the use of varied / diverse forms of work and learner activity;
- the highest possible independence of learners' work;
- joy as an integral part of learning;
- activation of knowledge that the learner already has;
- learners should report on their activities / learning;
- belief in the relevance of the taught content;
- learning in different places;
- repeating learned content;
- learning in interpersonal contacts with others;
- striving for specific content development.
The results of the above study largely correlate with the concept presented by Dr.
Annegret Schmidjell11 (2005), who in turn indicated several aspects of a good foreign language lesson:
8. A good foreign language lesson allows the possibility of individual (by the learners) selection of the content
on the basis of which the learners learn the language.
9. A good foreign language lesson prepares for continuation of learning a foreign language after the end of
school education, maintains and supports interest in what is learned in a foreign language.
10. A good foreign language lesson uses and integrates language skills and experience acquired outside
school, as well as language learning skills.
11. A good foreign language lesson uses the natural possibilities of language acquisition and supports them
with appropriate structures and cognitive methods.
12. A good foreign language lesson uses the opportunity created by the media and personal contacts to
present different types of foreign language speakers.

17. In a good foreign language lesson there are precise criteria for the evaluation of achievements, especially oral
statements.
By reading the results of Polák's research and the aspects identified by Schmidjell that contribute
to the fact that the foreign language lesson is good, it is difficult to resist the impression that the authors of the core
curriculum knew them. In the section Conditions and method of implementation, the authors of the core curriculum
they took over many of the indicated factors that contribute to the development of key competences and fulfill the
postulate of autonomy of learning during a foreign language lesson. Both studies show that the autonomy of
learning is a desirable alternative in teaching a foreign language to the one-person, often authoritarian,
teaching and learning (subject, work methods, pace, strategies) . Partial handing over of responsibility and control
for learning and teaching into the hands of students should be successful. It is recommended to include in the
implementation of this program
the repertoire of methods used - activating methods in which the role of the teacher has changed. He became the
organizer and coordinator of students' work, thanks to which it activates
them for creative activities. Its new features are:
- counselor - is available when students have a problem with solving a task or do not understand something;
- animator - initiates methods and explains their importance for the learning process, presents goals and prepares
materials for study and work, but is flexible and open to modifications or more serious changes;
- observer - observes students at work and shares with them the observations from these observations;
- participant in the didactic process - he gives an example that you can learn from anyone, at every stage of life
and everywhere.
The proposed program assumes the teacher assuming the above roles in specific educational situations and
emphasizes the development of student autonomy, as it is an effective way to achieve the goals related to the
development of key competences.

This curriculum simultaneously focuses on the formation of three spheres: the student's
cognitive competences in the field of language education, his social competences and
work on motivation. An approach that allows these three areas to be pursued simultaneously
is learning and cooperative teaching. It is a concept based on working in small groups (3-4
people). While students collaborate on an assignment
the conditions specific to cooperative learning should be met.
There should be:
a) positive interdependence between learners;
b) supportive interaction;
c) individual responsibility of each student;
d) using and developing students' social skills;
e) reflection on the quality of cooperation, i.e. group processing.
Introducing vocabulary at the third stage of education - similarly to the earlier stages -
should be multichannel. The student should hear a new word,
see, associate with previously learned words, pronounce, write, and then apply in a
sentence. Explaining the meanings of words should be carried out in various ways, e.g. by:
- giving the Polish equivalent (the least effective technique);
- guessing the meaning of the word from the context;
- definition of meaning (descriptive form);
- providing a synonym or antonym;
- showing an illustration with a word equivalent.

You can read about the advantages of the cooperative learning concept in the quarterly "Foreign languages at school" (1/2018).

Various techniques are used to memorize vocabulary. It is worth introducing students to use:
- juxtaposing grammatical phenomena of the Polish language with the English language: pointing out
similarities and differences prevents interference errors;
- conducting translation exercises in the relation: Polish ÿ foreign language;
- the use of numerous fixations: a)
imitation exercises - introducing the student to uttering a given structure;
b) substitution - repeating the same structure in other examples;
c) transformation - transforming sentences according to a formula;

authentic language. It is worth ensuring that listening comprehension exercises are conducted with the
use of various sources and teachers, not only the recordings from the textbook.

Organizational forms of teaching depend, inter alia, on from the set goals of education, the size of
the group, time possibilities, place and even the material resources of the school,
that is, access to teaching aids.
In the course of the teaching process, the teacher may or may not promote interaction between
students through tasks favoring the individualization of students' work, competition between
students or collaboration between them. Much scientific research shows the advantages of an
approach that promotes interaction and the advantages of positive interdependence. Collaborative
learning methods and techniques do not rule out other social forms, however. In
In this program, it is recommended to use all known social forms, adequately to the set goals and
needs:
- frontal lesson (teacher's lecture, student's talk, teacher's talk with the class) -
recommended especially in the case of providing knowledge, clarifying, explaining, presenting
new lexical or grammatical issues;
- group work - recommended for the implementation of mini-projects and projects, development
problematic issues;
- work in pairs - recommended for imitating situations, conducting dialogues, playing roles in
genre scenes, a particularly valuable form of work - in interaction with a colleague or
the fear of being assessed by the teacher disappears with my friend, the language barrier remains
33
Machine Translated by Google
defeated;
- individual work - consolidation exercises, working with the text, it is conducive to the individualization of
learning.
Due to the different preferences of students, a variety of social forms should be used, bearing in mind,
however, that only the systematic implementation of methods and techniques of cooperative learning will
allow students to develop social competences, while achieving the subject objectives at the same time.
Students following the core curriculum (variant III.2.) Will not acquire - in the course of the program based
on the provisions of this variant - the skills required for the matriculation examination in a modern foreign
language. Possible preparation for the exam will require additional commitment, time and other
extracurricular forms of learning English.
Regardless of the teacher's preferred and used repertoire of teaching methods and techniques, the most
important issue is the relationship between the student and the teacher, i.e. their mutual sympathy13.
During the lessons, you should ensure a friendly atmosphere, provide students with a sense of security,
give them the right to make mistakes, create a field for the implementation of their individual needs and
ideas. The lesson should be an incentive and an invitation to take an interest in independent English
learning in the future.
Therefore, it is important to emotionally involve the student in the didactic process by building positive peer
relationships and arousing cognitive curiosity.
The student's internal motivation focused on the subject should be strengthened by the teacher as a result
of using forms and means of work that are attractive to the student in the lesson.
It is recommended to use language games and games, IT, multimedia: including computer programs,
videos, websites, English-language television, radio dramas, various iconographic materials related to the
English-speaking language area, establishing contacts with peers from English-speaking countries, e.g.
using the program E-twinning14, international exchanges, club meetings and / or language evenings
organized at school.

In accordance with the Regulation on the assessment, classification and promotion of students, §
6 sec. 1. each teacher is obliged to individualize work with a student during compulsory and
additional educational classes, according to the development and educational needs and
psychophysical abilities of the student.
Other regulations of the Ministry of National Education, including those on the organization of
psychological and pedagogical assistance, also regulate issues related to the individual needs of
students. Virtually every student requires individualization, the only issue is its scope.
Dyslexics or gifted pupils need different support, and yet another - pupils who are educationally
neglected by their family or pupils with disabilities (hearing impaired, sight impaired, slightly
disabled), not accepted by the class team, etc.
The need for individualization results not only from the above-mentioned ones - in a foreign
language they will additionally include: different language levels of students, pace of work, level of
motivation, group size and even gender, or different sensory preferences / modality.
The role of the teacher is to diagnose and, if possible, adjust: 1) content;
In my experience, it is most difficult for teachers to adjust the content, since each student has the
same core curriculum. If, for example, we are implementing a topic which includes working with a
long and difficult text, we can:
35
Machine Translated by Google
correctly done, gives new tasks to those students who have already completed the tasks from the first pool.
It should not be forgotten that adaptation does not mean lowering the requirements, i.e. if the core curriculum
assumes the implementation of a specific thematic scope, then even a student with hyperdyslexia applies
this scope. It can be implemented in a minimal dimension, omit more difficult vocabulary or implement the
subject on easier texts.
In addition to the individualization carried out in the course of the lesson, it is also recommended to
individualize homework by e.g.
- offering students two versions of the homework (easier and more difficult - to choose from): more capable
students can do both versions of the homework;
- offering students various tasks - to choose from;
- offering students the possibility to choose the form in which they will present the task, e.g. a paper,
presentation, poster.
A tool that facilitates the application of individualization is an interactive whiteboard with functions
curtain type, underline, the ability to add annotations, save the course of the lesson and use the record for
revision.
Students with different needs are also favored by: - materials
appealing to many senses - POLYSENSORY;
- tasks / work based on interests;
- tasks based on the strengths of individuals;
- adjusting the requirements to the possibilities - the degree of difficulty of the task should increase in direct
proportion to the increase in interests and the ability to perform it by the student;
- adequately formulating tasks with an extensive structure: rather short, the first part easy or referring to the
content known to students, so that they would experience success at the beginning of the task.
When we focus on helping students diagnosed by a psychological and pedagogical counseling center or
with visible deficits, we can easily overlook the needs of gifted students. This is evidenced by the cases of
diagnoses / tests in which regression was found in students with relatively high "entry" scores. This confirms
that teachers focus and work with students with lower linguistic abilities, perhaps leveling the level in groups,
but at the expense of gifted students' progress. In order to prevent such a situation, it should be assumed
that in each group we will find a student who stands out positively against its background. So what to do in
order not to neglect it? Here is a list of proposed actions:
- creating a database of students with the highest language competences in each group;
- monitoring their progress;
- individualisation of work with a gifted student in terms of content, methods of work and forms of tasks;
- organization of competitions (inter-school, inter-voivodeship) for students with above-average language
skills;
- the offer of language clubs and devoting additional time to this group of students;
36
Machine Translated by Google
- organizing cooperation on online platforms, so that students can perform additional tasks, e.g. design;
A good solution for such a student could be support in the form of mentoring, tutoring, coaching, or a
form of personalized education. It all depends on what sphere the giftedness concerns. However, it
should not be forgotten that school support is often the only development opportunity for such a
student.
6.2. Working with a dysfunctional student, including - with the syndrome of inadequate
school achievements
A large proportion of students are diagnosed with dysfunctions. Each of them is an additional burden
for the student and an obstacle in the free acquisition of language knowledge and skills, because it
causes, for example, perception, memory, visual-auditory, motor and spatial coordination disorders,
which often means also disorders of linguistic functions or their coordination.
The dyslexic student usually doesn't learn the way we teach him - and that's not his fault. Each teacher
can help a dyslexic student on many levels:
- psychological, showing understanding;
- substantive, helping to master language skills.
Technically speaking, subject experts15 recommend that the student be seated close to the desk. This favors
the concentration of his attention, encourages him to ask questions when he does not understand something,
helps the teacher to control the student's work, e.g. to check whether he is keeping up with writing.
Other solutions that can help in certain situations, e.g.
1) allowing a student who has problems with spelling or writing to write with a pencil
(the student then feels that he can always correct what he wrote);
2) not asking a poorly reading student in the classroom, and in the case of severe dyslexia -
permission to use spoken books;
3) permission to use the spelling dictionary permanently (also during class work);
4) allowing dysgraphic students to record the teacher's lecture and do their homework with the help of
a computer;
5) failure to respond to immediate response (dyslexics have a problem with quick recall of dates,
dates, words, long strings, sequences, reactions, etc.);
6) extending the time to perform tasks (dyslexics work slower) and taking more breaks (dyslexics get
tired faster);
7) replacing dictations with writing from memory;
8) teaching new concepts on specific examples;
9) relating the material to the everyday life and experiences of the student;
10) assessing written works in terms of content, and not spelling;
11) the use of polysensory teaching involving as many senses as possible;
12) preparation of tests in the form of tests: selection or with gaps;
15
See works by prof. Marty Bogdanowicz and / or Dr. Anna Jurek.
37

13) writing in larger font, with larger spaces, not justifying texts, using Arial font;
18) individualization, ie adjusting work methods and content to the psychophysical abilities of
the student;
19) treating written and oral works equally;
20) using pair work (fear of evaluation disappears in relation to colleagues);
21) outsourcing activities at home - systematic exercises;
22) abandoning the emphasis on assessment and teaching phonetics;
23) constructive feedback - indicating what and how the student can improve;
24) creating situations in which the student will be able to achieve success according to his own measure -
he will be able to express himself freely and be heard;
25) organizing help from friends.
Students with dyslexia have to put in much more work and effort to learn the same things as their peers
without impaired reception. However, if this hard work does not translate into positive achievements in
school, they become discouraged, lose faith in their own abilities, their self-esteem drops. Such students,
despite having good intellectual abilities, do not have results adequate to their abilities, then we are talking
about students with a group of inadequate school achievements. Special support is needed for this group of
students, especially from an educator and / or psychologist. The task of the subject teacher, however, is to
plan the work in such a way as to enable the student to succeed: e.g. by grading the difficulty of the tasks in
the test.

and stick in the appropriate places in the table (under the drawings of a suitcase, a basket and a white spot) elements of the
lesson that they consider particularly valuable and which will be useful in their further learning (suitcase), those that turned
out to be useless (basket) and those which, according to the students, were absent from the lesson (white spot).
The implementation of the program objectives assumes achieving the A2 + level adequately to the version of the core
curriculum - III.2. The level of A2 competence according to CEFR for the five language activities is presented below. The A2
+ level means that, in selected aspects, the student will gain competences slightly higher than that provided for by the A2
level as a result of the implementation of this program.
The assumed achievements are identical to the detailed requirements described in the core curriculum.

"Lack of proper feedback is the most serious threat to development for both the individual teacher and the
education system" 17. UNESCO adds: "[...] the purpose of evaluation is not to assess learning outcomes
but to gain greater control over it" 18 .
Therefore, if we want to fully "control" the education process and have an impact on its shape
and results, we should measure student achievement,
remembering to use its result to provide students with feedback that helps them learn and to improve their
own workshop.
The presented program assumes the division of requirements into basic and secondary. The first - basic,
that is, easy to learn, certain scientifically, practical, necessary for further education and useful, for which
the student can obtain a satisfactory mark. The second - secondary - are those difficult to learn, creative,
theoretical, scientific, for which the student can get a good or higher grade.
Such a division of requirements into the basic ones (the foundation obligatory for every student in the group)
and secondary education allows the use of individualization and, for example, two-stage teaching.

the teacher refers to the requirements that he gives to students at the beginning of each school
year and recognizes the level and progress in the student's mastery of the knowledge and skills
resulting from the variant of the implemented core curriculum (III.2.). For this purpose, at the
beginning of the first grade, it is recommended to conduct an initial diagnosis and examine the
skill level of students of the second educational stage. The initial diagnosis will be the benchmark
for diagnoses during the cycle. The student's educational achievements are assessed, i.e. the
state of knowledge and skills as well as the progress made by the student.
Educational requirements given at the beginning of each class should be adapted to the
individual developmental and educational needs and psychophysical abilities of the student (e.g.
on the basis of decisions and opinions of a psychological and pedagogical counseling center).
According to the regulation of the Ministry of National Education regarding the
assessment and promotion of students, regardless of the rules and the assessment scale
adopted in the school (e.g. point, descriptive, weighted average), the annual assessment should
be expressed on a six-point scale from 1 to 6.
As a result of the assessment, the following takes place:
a) informing the student, parent or legal guardian and teacher about the level of educational
achievement and the student's progress;
b) assisting the student in independent development planning, developing talents, overcoming
difficulties;
c) motivating the student to further progress in learning and behavior.
Various measurement tools should be used to check the knowledge, skills and educational
progress of a student, such as: observation of the student during educational activities,
participation in exercises, tests, tests, written assignments, quizzes, oral statements,
homework, participation in project works and other measures provided for in the internal
school assessment rules. The student's grades are open: at the request of the student, his / her
parent or legal guardian, they are justified, and the assessed written works -
inspection (on the terms set out in the Articles of Association). Each grade can be corrected in
the manner specified in the internal school grading rules. Tests and their scope are announced
at least two weeks in advance, cards from the current material are not subject to this rule. Tests,
small tests or written assignments announced by the teacher are obligatory. The teacher informs
about the dates and scope of homework on a regular basis. The annual assessment is
determined in accordance with the intra-school rules

9. Program evaluation
In order to assess the effectiveness of the program, it is recommended that the teacher who implements the program
undertakes evaluation activities that will allow for the assessment of the implementation of the provisions in the core
curriculum, including the effectiveness of the methods used, for the assessment of the usefulness of the educational content
and for the assessment of the attractiveness of the classes for students.
The subject of the evaluation should be:
1) the degree of implementation of the core curriculum;
2) the effectiveness of the applied methods and techniques of work,
3) attractiveness of the program for students.
46
Machine Translated by Google
In order to check the degree of implementation of the core curriculum, it is recommended to adopt the following
evaluation tools: tests, diagnosis, mock eighth-grade exam,
eighth grade, analysis of school documentation, observation of students.
Students should also do a self-assessment. For this purpose, you can use the Self Check revision lessons from
the Focus Second Edition series.
The attractiveness of the teaching methods used can be tested by using evaluation questionnaires during and at
the end of the education cycle, analyzing school documentation (grades and attendance) and observing students
on an ongoing basis. Based on the data obtained, conclusions should be drawn and the program should be
modified in order to improve the quality of one's own work and improve the educational results.
