Abstract:

This article is first of three describing a study of a group of 60 Polish language examiners working for a regional examination committee. The study concerned familiarity with chosen principles of the Polish language and methods to assess the language skills of middle school students based on their written work. The study revealed that examiners knowledge of the rules of spelling and punctuation was not satisfactory. Owing to the large scale of the problem and since students depend on teachers’ competence in these skills to pass examinations, there is a need to take remedial action requiring cooperation at school and university levels.
