In the field of foreign language teaching, the development of grammatical-discourse competence has emerged as a critical linguistic-didactic goal. This competence integrates grammatical accuracy with the ability to produce and interpret discourse in context, enabling learners to communicate effectively and appropriately in the target language. This article explores the theoretical foundations of grammatical-discourse competence, its significance in language education, and practical strategies for its development in the classroom. By bridging the gap between form and function, grammatical-discourse competence fosters both linguistic proficiency and communicative competence, making it an essential objective in modern foreign language pedagogy.
