MULTICULTURAL ASPECTS OF IMPROVING STUDENTS' DISCOURSE (WRITTEN) COMPETENCIES

Abstract

There are a number of ways to improve students' written discourse competences during their learning and research period. It is clear that a large number of students face certain issues, as written academic discourse is unfamiliar to many. What does it mean, and why is it important? As a general principle, individuals who use a language must communicate not only orally but also in written contexts. Indeed, these constructions should be built on solid, rigorous foundations.However, learning or studying students' needs won't be enough without an awareness of multicultural aspects. Initially, it would be necessary to understand the concept of 'multicultural,' which pertains to various cultural varieties or elements that manifest in a multicultural society. Education plays a crucial role in these findings, and in this perspective, the cultural dimension becomes the most significant aspect of acquiring any language. To achieve the desired result of learning a target language, the form of writing will certainly be a priority.Discourse inherently encapsulates culture; language cannot exist independently of culture. The objective of this research is to enhance students' written discourse in a straightforward manner. The study will draw upon observed experiences and methodologies employed during the instruction of learners with mixed proficiency levels. Various approaches, including essay writing, technology utilization, and interviews, were implemented with university students to highlight the need for individualized instruction. This scientific endeavor will undoubtedly influence written discourse competence, while also considering visual outcomes.
