Questão 3166815

educators deliberately overlook communicative competence, assuming English as a set of abstract grammatical rules detached from real contexts, thereby undermining its essential role in interaction, problem-solving, and practical language use.

students universally prefer grammar-based tests over communicative tasks, as these forms of assessment are believed to demand less cognitive effort, provide clearer and more predictable formats, and be perceived as more enjoyable than authentic language use.

traditional assessments are often presented in educational debates because they are regarded as scientifically validated tools, considered effective for promoting higher-order thinking skills, such as critical reasoning. They are also seen as cultivating collaboration among learners in structured ways, supporting organized interaction and cooperative problem-solving.

systemic factors such as exam-oriented culture, large class sizes, lack of resources, and limited teacher training reinforce traditional practices, making them easier to apply and align with curricular and institutional expectations.

educational policies and traditional school practices favor a grammar and vocabulary-based syllabus; they tend to limit opportunities for students to engage in communicative or multimodal assessment activities.
