Textual competence is an ability to create and receive information fulfilling the condition of textuality. It has got a number of aspects: communication, creative, pragmatic, volitional, axiological. It constitutes the basic aim of school education in which all the above mentioned aspects should be included. It is an inclination as well as a process, which take place in two phases. The first includes natural language acquisition and the second lasts during the whole school education. A particular role in the development of textual competence concerns the course "The Polish language" and especially language education. It encompasses both the study on language and practical improvement of its usage. Literary education is equally important in developing students’ textual competence. This is the reason why the two subject matters should be integrated.
