This article discusses the MA curriculum, focusing especially on three types of courses: methodology of linguistic research, Polish linguistics and didactics of Polish as a foreign language compared to didactics of other foreign languages. The author elaborates on the reasons of changes made in the curriculum and discusses the features of the curriculum in comparison with other Polish foreign language teacher educational programs. The article also presents „Computer assisted language learning (CALL)", a program which was introduced for teaching Polish as a foreign language in 2009.
