Poziom efektywnej biegłości użytkowej – kto mierzy się z poziomem C1 na państwowym egzaminie certyfikatowym z języka polskiego jako obcego?

Abstract

The 11th examination session for foreigners taking the state examination in Polish as a foreign language at four levels (B1–C1) was held at the University of Warsaw in autumn 2019. The group taking the examination at the level of effective operational profi ciency (C1) were subject to a survey. The paper describes its selected aspects, such as age, gender, education, nationality, and motivations of the examinees. The results of the examined foreigners’ selfassessment were compared to the results they achieved in individual language skills. The motives for taking the examination were discussed extensively and particular attention was drawn to the new legal reality, which played (and will probably play) a major role in selecting the C1 level.
