 abstract={The article is a contribution to the discussion on the issue of sociolinguistic competence in teaching Polish as a foreign language for specialist purposes. The text has a research character and constitutes one of the concepts of achieving a definition of sociolinguistic competence. An in-depth analysis of the content (the existing state) of the textbooks on teaching Polish medical language is placed in the linguistic and socio-cultural stream of linguistic research, while the functional context of the tested materials places the presented considerations within the methodological specificity of glottodidactics. In the cognitive dimension, the aim is to broaden the knowledge of the development of sociolinguistic competence in teaching specialist languages on the example of medical language. The first part of the article presents theoretical approaches to sociolinguistic competence in language teaching for general and professional purposes. The second part presents the authors’ concepts concerning the presence of a sociolinguistic component in the materials for teaching Polish medical language. The third part confronts these concepts with the actual state and content of the textbooks. The analysis of the glottodidactic materials made it possible to indicate the most frequently used techniques for teaching sociolinguistic skills, to which the fourth part of the article is devoted. The results of the analysis have shown that in the vast majority of textbooks the authors do not explicitly emphasise sociolinguistic competence in the description of the objectives of teaching Polish medical language, although in the textbook materials themselves the sociolinguistic component is present to a greater or lesser extent. The weak points of the analysed materials include the presentation of only doctor-patient dialogue situations, omitting at the same time doctor-patient family, doctor-doctor, doctor-medical staff communication. As a result, the sociolinguistic component is not fully presented to the learner.},
