The present study investigates the specifics of English language teaching at the Department of Ukrainian Studies of the University of Warsaw in the context of dealing with heterogeneous groups of adults. The focus of the paper is on the problems and advantages of teaching English to Poles, Ukrainians, Belarusians and occasionally students participating in the Erasmus plus program. Based on the theory of the authors, such as Ur (2005), Scrivener (2005) and Harmer (1998), the paper discusses in detail the case of the Department of Ukrainian Studies of the University of Warsaw. On the basis of her findings, pedagogical implications are discussed and recommendations for further research are suggested.
