Listy frekwencyjne jako narzędzie ewaluacji leksyki w podręcznikach do języka polskiego jako obcego. Analiza i ocena podręcznika Krok po kroku 1

The goal of the paper was to investigate the vocabulary of handbook for Polish as a foreign language Krokpokroku 1 with the use of frequency lists. It was found that the lexical material of the book is far too difficult for beginners as out of 3021 lexical typesonly 960 lexemes belonged to the lexical list for the level A1 whereas 273 other lexemes from the A1 lexical list were not included there. Among the lexemes exceeding the A1 language fluency level which could be used at that level were: internationalisms, proper names and their derivatives and aspectual pairs of verbs. The presence of others and lack of those lexemes which are very frequent in language is questionable. Control of the vocabulary used in textbooks for beginners is a must according to numerous language teaching experts. It is rarely however taken into account by textbook authors.
