Second-Year Polish III

Undergraduate / Graduate

This course is the third in the intermediate sequence and builds proficiency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Students engage with authentic materials such as websites, music, and film clips that reflect contemporary Polish language and culture. The course continues grammar and vocabulary development while emphasizing thematic topics such as culture, art, and human relationships. Through regular interaction, guided practice, and independent work, students strengthen interpretive, presentational, and interpersonal skills. By the end of the course, students will be able to communicate using sentences and strings of sentences, express basic needs and emotions, describe people and art, and participate in short, friendly exchanges on familiar topics. While errors may occur, students will increasingly create with the language to convey meaning. Students will also deepen their understanding of Polish culture and gain confidence interacting with native speakers accustomed to working with language learners.
