The study has been conducted within the project 178014 entitled The structure dynamics of the Serbian language, financed by the Ministry of Science and Technology, Republic of Serbia. Academic writing at the C2 level, according to the Common European Framework of Reference, experiences a fundamental change of focus from the lower-order concerns in writing, to the notion of communicative aspect of discourse and towards the higher-order concerns in writing. This study explores the degree of communicative competence in L2 writing that these students exhibit.
