Mission

The Long Anglicist Night is a unique night filled with lectures and presentations prepared by English Faculties and Departments from Universities all over Poland. This one-of-a-kind event, organized for the first time this year, has the ambition to become a cyclical meeting gathering of current and prospective students as well as research and teaching staff from national centers of English studies.

Our mission is:

• to present the practice and scientific potential of English Studies in Poland
• to disprove a myth that English studies are only about learning the language
• to present research results achieved by English-speaking scholars from Poland and abroad in the field of literary studies, linguistics, translation studies and methodology
• to emphasize interdisciplinary research combining humanities, natural sciences and medicine
• to share the latest methods and achievements in English language teaching
• to spark and generate interest in the English Studies among prospective and current students
• to exchange best practices and ideas among the teachers of English from all over Poland

The events will be held in Polish and/or English. In addition to online lectures available to everyone, local high school students will also be taking part in workshops (on campus or remotely). In the program of the Long Anglicist Night, you will find information about the workshops offered, links to online tools (YouTube and MsTeams or Zoom) and registration details.
