Abstract

This article explores the theoretical and methodological foundations of discourse analysis in foreign language teaching practice. The main aim of the study is to determine the role and significance of discourse analysis in language learning and to identify effective ways of integrating it into teaching practice. The linguistic essence of the concept of “discourse” is examined, and its contribution to the development of communicative competence is substantiated. The effectiveness of a discourse-oriented approach is demonstrated through theoretical analysis and practical examples. The research is based on analytical, comparative, inductive, and deductive methods. The scientific novelty of the study lies in justifying discourse analysis as a systematic methodological approach in foreign language teaching.
