It is assumed in the paper that the communicative situation tasks proposed during classes of French as a foreign language in the French Philology Department should contribute to the academic discourse learning. In the paper we present an analysis of two fragments of argumentative situations; the first one concerns the so-called everyday argumentative situation and another one illustrates an argumentative orientation of academic discourse.frargumentative competenceforeign languageargumentative discourseFrench languageLe développement de la compétence argumentative et l'initiation au discours académiqueThe development of argumentative competence and introduction to academic discourseArtykuł
