Abstract

This research aims at describing the discourse competence as part of communicative competence of higher intermediate students in delivering final project presentation. Higher intermediate level was chosen as the subject of the research because it is the highest level in learning English for high school students at an English course in Bukittinggi City. Qualitative descriptive method was used in conducting this research. The subjects were eleven students of higher intermediate class of the English course in Bukittinggi City. There was usually only one class of higher intermediate level each term. Their presentations were recorded and were then transcribed to get the written data. The data were analyzed based on łivković model of academic oral presentation. The result showed that students were not fully aware of discourse competence. They had tendency in choosing the expressions and phrases for the moves of presentations, then none of the students explained the purpose of the talk nor introduced the visual aids, and only one student thanked the audience for paying attention. Meanwhile, even though the students used some expression and phrases for moving from one idea to another, they were sometimes found using non-authentic expressions or phrases
