      The purpose of this research is to display and reveal the recent trends in narrative discourse and how both of Genette’s narrative discourse and Jauss’s reception theories are integrated to form a narratological approach for narrative discourse.  The research started with illustrating the definitions of narrative in general and narrative discourse in specific; identifying narrative from other discourse genres and explaining the elements of narrative discourse as well. The features of the narrative discourse’s perspectives, which are social interactional perspective, conceptual structural knowledge and narrative coherence (macrostructures), and linguistic knowledge and narrative cohesion (microstructure) have also been mentioned, clarified and supported with various studies conducted on different samples of language learners. Finally, an integration between Genette’s and Jauss’s theories has been illustrated and pedagogical implications in teaching narrative and literature have been recommended.
