ON UNDERSTANDING THE TERMS: SPELLING ERROR, GRAPHIC ERROR AND SPELLING MISTAKE BY TEACHERS OF POLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE – A SURVEY STUDY

The article deals with the issue of spelling errors in teaching Polish as a foreign  language  (PFL). Its aim is to present how PFL teachers understand the terms: spelling error, graphic error and spelling mistake, and to present  definitions of the aforementioned  terms which  would identify the differences between them. The research material comes from an online survey  and it  indicates  that the term graphic error is used to refer to misuse of both allographs  and  graphemes.  Survey answers  also  suggest that  the term spelling mistake  is to a large  extent  unstable  and  should be further  specified. The article concludes  with a suggested spelling error classification which takes into account the results of the study.
