The article discusses the results of a longitudinal study of how the use of conjunctions, as an aspect of spoken discourse competence of 13 selected advanced students of English, developed throughout their 3-year English as a foreign language (EFL) tertiary education. The analysis was carried out in relation to a number of variables, including 2 reference levels, one representing English native discourse and the other observed in teacher talk in actual EFL classes, language type exposure, as registered by the participants of the study on a weekly basis, and teaching procedures. The study investigated possible factors determining the development of 3 aspects of conjunction use: (a) formal conjunctions, (b) specific conjunctions, that is, those conjunctions that are both characteristic of natural English discourse and are underrepresented in L2 discourse, and (c) conjunction diversity. The results point to a restricting effect of teacher talk on the development of specific conjunction use and conjunction diversity. These 2 aspects of conjunction use enjoyed only a slight rise, approaching the teacher reference level. On the other hand, formal conjunctions use did increase radically throughout the study, exceeding the native reference level. In this case teacher talk played a reinforcing role at most. As indicated in a correlational analysis, although there was a clear tendency of the participants’ development of conjunction use towards the native reference level, exposure to authentic English may not have been facilitative of the development of this discourse aspect. An interesting observation was made with reference to the effect of formal instruction on the development of conjunction use: Although the subjects did receive intensive training in conjunction use in the 1st semester of their EFL course, it was not until the 2nd year that their levels of formal conjunction use in spoken output increased. This suggests that formal instruction may have no immediate effect on the development of spoken discourse competence.

The subject of legal interpretation is the text of a legal act as the source of law. Adequately ascertaining the substantive contents of the law therefore requires knowledge of the intrinsic characteristics of the act of law as a form of normatively defined mode of utterance. Due to the high level of conventionalization of the texts of acts of law, their interpretation requires specialized knowledge of legal interpretation of the texts of law, which may be classified as legal communicative competence. Because this competence characterises individuals who are professionally prepared to interpret acts of law, and at the same time who function in a given community of discourse, it is in essence a type of discursive competence within the law.

The paper presents and discusses the concept of the discourse competenceof an academic FL teacher as a researcher and a professional. For the sakeof theoretical argument we also investigate the different kinds of discoursecompetence present in FL teaching and learning.We propose that discourse competence should be the object of continuousdevelopment for teachers who aspire to develop their disciplinaryand epistemological awareness: two components of a teacher’s professionalismwe consider indispensable in the teaching and learning process.

The purpose of this paper is to present theatre workshops as a tool for reducing the linguistic anxiety of students and supporting the development of linguistic competence, discourse competence, personal and interpersonal competence in the context of teaching and learning French as a foreign language at the Romance philology. As a first step, we look at the sources of inspiration and the approach, mission, objectives and conditions of the theatre workshop, then we go on to briefly describe how it works and, finally, we concentrate on the challenges of the Teaching act.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the concept of discourse competence as the way to develop university students’ skills: listening, reading, speaking and writing in German as a foreign language. The inspiration for the discussion on this issue was a survey carried out in 2014 among the university students of Applied Linguistics and German at the Marie Curie Skłodowska University (Lublin). The present paper takes didactic proposals as lesson plans into view, which focus consistently on the development of discourse competence with their individual specified skills.

This article is about a task which required learners to reformulate a story which they had listened to in writing. In the context of foreign language learning, the original text provides a discourse model, whereas the way it is rephrased reflects students’ skill to use the new information in their own words. Retelling can also be treated as language practice focused on learning and practising new vocabulary and sentence structures. The re-search concentrated on fragments of text that were an extension of the original text that was retold by an elementary group of students of French philology (A2 level according to The Common European Frame-work of Reference for Languages, 2003) in Polish and French (the for-eign language). Comparison of speech produced in the two languages made it possible to consider the nature and function of the learners’ dis-course competence which, depending on the students’ personal goals and communicative experience, differed in the two cases. The data col-lected can serve as a starting point for planning further steps to develop students’ metadiscoursal awareness with the use of the retelling of a sto-ry as a learning strategy.

In this article the relation between the discourse production dynamic and the linguistic competence development is discussed. This problem is considered with regard to two types of language activities based on reformulation tasks: 1) written reconstruction of a story heard, 2) written production of the end of the story. The analysis of experimental data shows that in the second case the approach to the discourse is more complete which positively influences application of complex morphosyntactic structures in students production.

Drawing on the concept of discourse competence this paper asks about the possibility of the incorporation of the discourse analysis with the development of the translation skills in the simultaneous interpreting field. The paper sets out to show, how to solve problems arising from the simultaneous interpreting based on lack of knowledge about discourse competence and skills necessary for the discourse analysis.

Autorka upatruje w analizie interakcyjnej narzędzie opisu, które jest w stanie uchwycić specyfikę konkretnego typu dyskursu. Interakcja konstytuuje komunikację i stanowi podstawę odróżnienia głównych form mowy: monologu i dialogu. Jej istotą jest koordynacja, współpraca, zestrajanie aktywności rozmówców i dynamiczne zmiany kontekstu. Elementem interakcji jest również relacja interpersonalna, która podlega parametryzacji ze względu na dwa kryteria: siłę i ustosunkowanie. Celem artykułu jest opis tych uwarunkowań interakcji, które mają decydujący wpływ na jej przebieg w medialnym dyskursie politycznym. Z badań wynika, że pod uwagę należy wziąć: publiczny charakter kontaktu (w opozycji do kontaktu prywatnego), występowanie rozmówców w rolach społecznych oraz masowy charakter komunikacji.

W pracy koncentrujemy się głownie na określeniu zakresu użycia pragmatycznych wariantów znaczenia predykatu modalnego moc w konstrukcjach konwersacyjnych dzieci przedszkolnych. Opis konkretnych realizacji orzeczeń modalnych w wypowiedzeniach dotyczy niektórych aspektów modalności zdaniowej i fakultatywnej oraz wybranych zagadnień systemowych, sytuacyjnych i interakcyjnych języka. Biorąc pod uwagę kontekst pragmatycznojęzykowy i interakcyjny konstrukcji modalnych i innych, obecnych w tekstach, zwracamy uwagę na jakość kompetencji dyskursywnej dzieci przedszkolnych.

The paper concerns the analysis of the modal logic and intentional constructions with the modal verb móc in preschool discourse. Some aspects of pragmalinguistic and systemic-functional theory provide tools to characterize the ways in which children use constructions in the colloquial-conversational language and text. Our analysis is focused on the sense of predicate móc in particular applications and on the process of creation of indirect acts of speech. It also provides information on the development of discourse competence of children.
