Esej szkolny – przykładem mocowania się ucznia ze słowem

Abstract

The aim of the article is to present attempts at writing a school essay as a means of effective and attractive training of students’ linguistic skills. An essay necessitates an application of a wide range of conscious linguistic devices, and helps develop an elaborated code, as it stays in contradiction to parataxic thinking, which, by definition, is a source of restricted code training. The examined essays exhibit special attention to language, which is absent in other types of compositions. It frequently leads to linguistic and stylistic errors but potentially constitutes a big chance to shape students’ individual language.
