The article deals with the problem of competence-based approach to education today and its underlying principles. Nowadays, the most accepted instructional framework in foreign language programs is communicative language teaching, whose main goal is to increase learners’ communicative competence. This theoretical term means being able to use the linguistic system effectively and appropriately in the target foreign language and culture. However, the implementation of a communicative methodology is not an easy task since it requires an understanding of the integrated nature of the theoretical concept of communicative competence. This article analyses and distinguishes the terms “competence” and “competency”, identifies and defines integral structure and contents of the communicative language competence, substantiates the choice of the key competences necessary for everyone, and function-oriented competences, which in their unity stipulate the successful adaptation and self-realization of a young specialist in the modern fast-changing world. In the article, particular attention is paid to the development of cross-cultural communicative competence. Taking the intercultural component as the point of departure, the authors present a variety of activities in the four language skills for teaching learners this competence.

Artykuł zawiera krótki przegląd kompetencyjnie zorientowanego podejścia do nauczania języków obcych oraz jego podstawowych zasad. Komunikacyjne ukierunkowanie na nauczanie języków obcych jest podstawową zasadą współczesnych programów nauczania. W opracowaniu przedstawiono analizę i wyjaśnienie pojęć „fachowość” oraz „kompetencja”, ustalono integralną strukturę i treść językowej komunikacyjnej kompetencji, uzasadniono także wybór kluczowych kompetencji niezbędnych dla każdego oraz funkcjonalnie skierowanych kompetencji, które w swojej jedności zapewniają sukces przy adaptacji i samorealizacji młodego specjalisty we współczesnym dynamicznym świecie. Szczególną uwagę poświęcono rozwojowi międzykulturowej komunikacyjnej kompetencji realizowanej przez różne rodzaje aktywności.

Learner-centered approaches to learning and teaching alongside education for sustainable development (ESD) emphasize the education of engaged and active global citizens (UNESCO, 2017). The development of students’ reflective skills and metacognitive strategies is the center of this study that aims at investigating the learner language of a group of adult learners at an upper-intermediate level. It sets out to investigate to what extent learners are able to notice and correct their errors after reflecting on their spoken production. Moreover, it seeks to examine the students’ perception of their self-reflection and their attitude towards using speaking tasks for grammar learning. Comparative error analysis showed that the participants were able to amend 34.6% of total errors. These were made mainly in noun phrases (30% of total errors in Task 1 and 31% in Task 3) and verb phrases (40% of total errors in both tasks). Although no general conclusions could be drawn, the results seem to suggest that after critical, evidence-based reflection, the participants were able to notice and correct some errors, namely, in determination and the use of the past simple. The results of the survey analysis showed that all participants reported on an improved awareness of the gaps in their interlanguage, and all of them considered speaking tasks beneficial to grammar development. The study indicates that carefully planned, repeated speaking tasks might be helpful for learners’ language processing, consolidation of their grammatical knowledge and the improvement of their reflection skills and metacognitive strategies.
