„Wyjazd to inwestycja w rozwój młodych ludzi, której nikt nie wykorzystuje po ich powrocie do kraju.” Wyjazdy na lektorat zagraniczny i ich wpływ na podejście lektorów języka polskiego jako obcego do siebie i swego zawodu

The article presents the results of the pilot study carried out in the group of 25 the PFL teachers directed to work abroad. The considerations and analyzes undertaken in this article were inspired by the reflection of W. Miodunka (2016) on the need to develop pedeutology as a sub-discipline of glottodidactics. The article presents opinions of respondents on the advantages and disadvantages of working abroad (including cooperation with the Ministry of Science and Higher Education) and its impact on the development of professional, social and cultural competences. On the basis of the collected material, conclusions and suggestions regarding the organization of the process of employing and sending PFL teachers abroad were formulated, including a particularly important one that would oblige the Polish state to rationally manage human potential, as the PFL teachers promote the Polish language and culture in the world. The study presented here opens a new research field in the glottodidactic pedeutology.
