A number of new Teacher Training Colleges for Foreign Languages (Nauczycielskie Kolegium Jezykow Obcych) had also opened in Poland to attempt to meet the increased demand largely for English teachers at the primary and secondary school levels. I was asked to teach American Literature to these students. The only problem was, the college had no books for this course. So, we read photocopies of whatever short stories and poems I could get my hands on. Oh well, the relative gentility of the Teachers' College proved a welcome contrast to the often raucous Politechnika. And as you can see, some of the same stereotypes hold up in Poland as in the United States. Technical programs tend to attract male students while teaching attracts more female students.
