ZOLTÁN DÖRNYEI'S PERSPECTIVE ON DISCURSIVE COMPETENCE AND ITS INTEGRATION WITH COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE

<div>Zoltán Dörnyei's perspective on discursive competence and its integration with communicative competence offers a comprehensive understanding of language learning that encompasses both motivational and linguistic aspects. Dörnyei</div> <div>emphasizes the importance of developing a learner's ability to create coherent and cohesive discourse in various communicative contexts, a key component of discursive competence. This competence is closely linked with other aspects of</div> <div>communicative competence, such as grammatical, sociolinguistic, and strategic competence. By combining these elements, language learners can achieve a well rounded proficiency that allows for effective and meaningful communication. Dörnyei's approach also highlights the role of motivation and self-regulation in language learning, suggesting that as learners improve their discursive competence, they may experience increased motivation and engagement. The integration of discursive competence with communicative competence creates a holistic framework for language education that supports learners in becoming proficient and confident communicators across different contexts.
