Abstract

This research explores the concept of written discourse competency, emphasizing its crucial role in academic, professional, and personal communication. It defines this competency as the ability to produce coherent, cohesive, and contextually appropriate texts, requiring linguistic, cognitive, and social skills. The study examines the historical evolution of writing standards across cultures and the challenges writers face, including linguistic barriers and audience expectations. Additionally, it highlights the impact of globalization on writing practices. From an educational perspective, the research underscores the importance of teaching written discourse skills beyond grammar, focusing on audience awareness and textual coherence. Ultimately, it stresses the need for adaptable writing skills to meet diverse communicative demands.
