Tematyka dziecięco‑młodzieżowa w badaniach naukowych i praktyce dydaktycznej Katedry Dydaktyki Języka i Literatury Polskiej

The sketch characterizes the research areas of the staff of the Chair of Linguistic Didactics and Polish Literature, and especially the one devoted to literature for children and teenagers. The author of the article presents the beginnings and development of reflection on writing for a young reader, which, thanks to the involvement of Mieczysława Mitera-Dobrowolska, Zofia Adamczykowa and other employees, has become the foundation of studies on “other” literature, and thus the hallmark of Katowice’s teaching of Polish literature and language among other Polish universities.
