Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to prove that, following recent social and cognitive changes among native digital students, the teaching of academic literacies to neophilological faculty students in Poland should be linked to their practice of twenty-first-century literacies and general competences acquired thanks to the practice of these literacies during their informal learning in their free time. The language activity that interests us is written production: essential in the philological study program, distinctive (especially at C1/C2 levels), practiced during each semester, regularly assessed and subordinated to the final task of writing the BA or master’s thesis. Our methodology is based on the emic perspective of Pike 1967. We will present, in particular, the results from a survey addressed to the students of the Institute of Romance Studies concerning their learning and writing practice in French/Spanish/Italian and Polish, as well as some tracks of interpretation.
