ORIGINAL RESEARCH I conducted research assisted by the moje-ankiety.pl online survey tool. This project was created to supplement the activities of the LabSEE Socio-Economic Laboratory. 311 foreigners from every continent (52 countries around the world) have taken part in the study. The study is devoted to foreigners’ perceptions of Polish language politeness. The results of this study and an analysis of them were included in my doctoral thesis The research results also helped me to put together the practical part of my thesis, which focuses on the teaching of Polish language politeness and may be regarded as a glottodidactic proposal directed at teachers of Polish working in other countries.
