Znaczenie wiedzy o dialektach i gwarach dla edukacji regionalnej

Abstrakt

.The author outlines in the sketch the scope of dialectological knowledge that teachers
need in order to conduct regional education and justifies the necessity of this
knowledge. Drawing on many years of research conducted in Silesian schools, she
highlights the communicative and didactic consequences of teachers’ dialectal competence
(or lack thereof). She provides examples of students’ creative use of dialect
knowledge, cooperation with the local community, and the development of an open
attitude among children toward the linguistic distinctiveness of their environment.
She advocates for the dissemination of knowledge about dialects among teachers and
students, the appreciation of their various values, and the restoration of the proper
status of regional education in contemporary schools.
