The author discusses the important issue of acquiring phraseological competence and presents selected aspects of phraseodidactics in foreign languages. The aim of the article is to signal and present significant issues that appear in applied phraseology, especially in the field of phraseodidactics. In the first section, the tems “language competence” and “phraseological competence” are discussed. The term “phraseological competence” has not been widespread in the publications on the subject of phraseology or glottodidactics. Nevertheless, phraseological competence represents a higher level of lexical and collocational competence, which is indispensable for learning phraseology, particularly in a foreign language. The second section presents research on teaching phraseology of French as a foreign language. The research shows the character of scale in phraseologization from the perspective of non-native users of phraseology and its meaning in glottodidactics. In the third section the author carries out a synthesis of foreign phraseology acquisition and distinguishes between its most important stages.
