Abstract

The article discusses the didactic role of tests in teaching Polish, especially among people from Slavic language circles. Sometimes we forget about the potential of tests as a tool supporting the teaching process, focusing only on their diagnostic and evaluative functions. The aim of this paper was to present the benefits of testing in didactics and to present sample didactic (test) materials for both various language skills and levels of advancement. The theoretical part of the text discusses the traditional functions of tests, types of control and the specificity of teaching Slavs. The practical part contains examples of tests and recommendations for their effective use. It also presents a project of an empirical study planned for the academic year 2024/2025: the aim of research is to verify the effectiveness of testing in Polish language didactics.
