„Teksty” a Teksty – implikacje glottodydaktyczne ich stratyfikacji

The main objective, as well as a starting point for all glottodidactic studies, is to clarify the meaning of the term "text". This need results from the fact that in the process of language acquisition the language learner must, on the one hand, develop an ability to understand other texts (linguistic utterances) and, on the other hand, produce his/her own texts (linguistic utterances). In the process of foreign language learning and teaching, texts constitute the key didactic material that enables the language learner to develop specific language skills (conlpetences). The basic assumption of this article is that each text has been produced by a specific author and is based on his/her (specific) knowledge of the language or, in other words, on his/her linguistic competence.
