The Role of Oral and Written Speech in the Formation of Discourse Competence: Based on an Integrative Approach

Abstract

This article delves into the intricate relationship between oral and written speech in the formation of discourse competence, drawing insights from an integrative approach. Discourse competence, encompassing linguistic, sociolinguistic, and pragmatic dimensions, is crucial for effective communication. The integrative approach explores how the symbiosis of oral and written communication contributes synergistically to the development of discourse competence. Through a synthesis of theoretical frameworks and empirical studies, this article seeks to illuminate the interconnected nature of oral and written speech and its implications for nurturing comprehensive discourse competence.
