Nauka języków obcych osób w wieku senioralnym – przegląd nurtów badawczych i postulaty badawcze
Abstract
The aim of the paper is to present the current state of knowledge in the field of teaching foreign languages to third-age learners as well as suggest some directions for future research. The selection of the studies to be included in the paper was done by choosing the most important keywords and in the second stage verifying the abstracts of the studies found. After the initial search, 27 papers were found for the analysis. The results show the growing interest in the subject among the researchers both in Poland and abroad, but they also pinpoint the challenges connected to working with this age group. In the light of the presented research studies, developing methods and strategies of teaching third-age learners seem crucial and in longer term preparing materials adjusted to third-age learners needs.
