Die grammatische Kompetenz im Bereich des DaF in Polen unter der Lupe. Versuch einer Bestandsaufnahme im Lichte der curricularen Vorgaben in Rahmenlehrplänen und Studienprogrammen für Germanistik.

Quo vadis German Studies in the 21st century? This question has been increasingly asked in relation to German philology. Problems on this topic concern not only changes in the core curricula in primary and secondary schools in Poland, but also the decreasing level of German language skills and numbers of students. This entails specific changes in educational programs in German Studies. These programs often do not respond to the needs of changing reality, which is also why cursory adjustments are made in education programs. We diagnose this situation and try to explain this state of affairs. The background of the discussion are the core curricula of Polish secondary and post-secondary schools for all stages of education, as well as educational programs in German philology, subject to an analysis of how grammatical competence is shaped. The aim is to analyze the development of grammatical competence at all educational stages in the light of the given requirements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
