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 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 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. This article explores Dörnyei's insights into the relationship between discursive and communicative competence and examines practical implications for language teaching and learning
