There are number of ways to improve students' discourse competences (written) in the period of their learning and research: it is clear that there are some issues that a huge number of students face, as written academic discourse is definitely a form of writing unfamiliar to many students. What does it mean? Why should it be important? As a general principle, people who use a language will need not only to communicate orally but in written contexts as well: indeed these constructions should be built on solid, rigorous foundations. However, learning or studying the case of students’ needs won’t be enough without an awareness of multicultural aspects. Initially, it would be necessary to see what is the 'multicultural' relating to several varieties of culture or cultural elements which manifest themselves in a multicultural society.
