The Polish and English Language Centre for Foreigners (former: Department of Polish Language for Foreigners) has been organising the Polish Language Olympiad for Foreigners since 1990.
The goal of this event is to encourage foreigners to broaden their knowledge of the Polish language, culture and traditions. The participants are Polish language learners and foreigners studying at Polish universities who have lived in Poland no longer than 5 years. They come from nearly all countries and continents.
The participants are divided into:
- foreigners whose first language is Slavic;
- foreigners whose first language is non-Slavic.
There are two stages in the Olympiad: first there are eliminations in particular centres; the second stage is the final composed of the written and oral part. On the first day, there is a four-part written exam encompassing listening and reading comprehension, a short grammar test and editing functional documents. On the second day, students participate in an oral part.
This year's edition is held under the patronage of the Rector of Wrocław University of Science and Technology, Prof. Arkadiusz Wójs, Lower Silesian Governor Anna Żabska, the Mayor of Wrocław, Jacek Sutryk and the Chairwoman of the Wrocław City Council, Agnieszka Rybczak.
The Olympiad is a meeting of people interested in improving their Polish language and provides an opportunity to integrate the academic community.
The coordinator of the Olympiad is Magdalena Lamek, M.A. If you have any questions, please contact us by e-mail at olimpiadajezykapolskiego@pwr.edu.pl
