Zur Entwicklung der diskursiven Kompetenz: Didaktische Implikationen

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.
