Abstract
The article is devoted to analysing and interpreting seniors as a new group of active students who learn foreign languages. Changes in the social structure confirm the thesis of sociologists that the 21st century will be the period of emancipation of seniors. Active nestors in the public space will become not only depositaries of history, culture and tradition, but also take an important voice in intergenerational discussion, breaking negative stereotypes shaping the attitude of ageism. The involvement and interest of modern seniors in the course of classes organized by Third Age Universities prove that they are able to use the life opportunities offered by the retirement period. Therefore, the challenge for contemporary glottogeragogues is to develop programs, textbooks and teaching aids for learning foreign languages, taking into account the needs and interests of seniors.
