However, the dictionary should be used with certain reservations, as it is not the result of specialised lexicographical research.
It can be recommended for checking short texts of medium difficulty.

TECH-DICT.PL is a Polish-English / English-Polish dictionary of technical terms, which
has an ever-growing database of terms from various fields of science, technology and
industry, including computer science, medicine, military science, mechanics, agriculture, business language and biology and chemistry.
and biology and chemistry. As such, it is a helpful tool for
reading/translating technical and specialist texts, and can be successfully
used in Polish language classes at advanced level (B2+ - C2) or in specialist language courses.
or during specialist language courses. However, the tech-dict.pl dictionary cannot be the
the only point of reference when working with the text, as it is not the result of a
lexicographical work - so if in doubt, refer to PWN dictionaries. A weak
point of this online dictionary is also the unattractive and unintuitive layout.

1. The teacher presents the electronic dictionary platform, how to use it and the limitations of this online working tool.
2. The teacher selects from a portal or a blog material about the labour market in Poland (e.g. https://www.bnpparibas.pl/blog/rynek-pracy-w-polsce-w-2020-roku-jak-zarabialismy-w-czasie-pandemii)
Note: Depending on the level of knowledge of Polish (B1, B2 or C1), the size and difficulty of the proposed material will be determined.
For B2 level:
3. The teacher suggests that students read the selected material and lookup seven terms in the dictionary (e.g. labour market, black market, labour force, unemployment, employee, employer, job).
4. Students are challenged (guided conversation), using the vocabulary they have learnt, about changes in the labour market in recent times. What changes have they noticed have occurred during the pandemic? Which categories are most affected by unemployment?
Other activities
Students are challenged to choose three keywords from the field they are interested in (IT, economics, marketing, medicine, etc.), look up specialist phrases and collocations in the dictionary.
Depending on their level of knowledge of Polish, they will search the Internet (and the National Corpus of Polish) for a 120/150-word fragment on the topic.
