Due to demographic changes and global realities, language and culture seem to play an increasingly important role in contemporary education as they are directly linked to teaching and learning. Teachers need adequate preparation to work with students of different religions, races, ethnicities, and languages. However, despite the new educational reality, authors of foreign/second language teacher textbooks devote little space to issues of diversity and critical perspectives in language teaching. Questions of equality and social justice, which are at the core of education, are also virtually absent from training programmes for language teachers. Moreover, methodological textbooks promote so-called good practices or a series of teaching techniques which encourage copying, and by doing so, limit the teacher's creativity as a person who learns together with students. These issues are present both in Poland and Europe as a whole.
