Abstract

In this article, I discuss the figure of Tomasz Judym - the main character of Homeless People using biographical methods. The first part of article indicates the most important aspects of the role of biography in teaching the Polish language, and presents the methodological and definition difficulties related to the subject of personal patterns in pedagogy. Two research questions are posed: 1) How should we teach about personal patterns?, 2) what values should be transmitted through biographical teaching in Polish language lessons. Then, the latest concepts in Polish methodics are described, related to the issues of experience, dialogue and performativity. It shows how their discoveries can be used for the modern use of the biography of Polish language education (answer to the first research question). The second part of the text reflects on the figure of Tomasz Judym in the context of biographical research and the theory of personal patterns.

Then, sensitivity and empathy are indicated as the characteristics of the protagonist and which should be taught in Polish language lessons as part of the reflection on the hero's biography. Specific teaching solutions are shown (answer to the second research questions).
