Abstract
<jats:p>The book is a collection of glottodidactic experiences of the School of Polish Language and Culture at the University of Silesia. The respective texts of the volume, preceded by an introductory article describing the history of the School and its development, concern the most important areas of the institution's activity and the interests of its staff and close associates. The publication is not only a record of the activity of a specific institution, one of the many that contributed to the creation of Polish-language glottodidactics in the 1990s, but also a reflection of the trends and transformations of this relatively young discipline, which experienced its heyday in the years of the School's establishment and solidification. The chapters of the book are arranged in such a way as to show these trends and transformations.</jats:p>
