Questão 96623

A central tenet of the Communicative Method is the use of 'authentic materials,' which are defined as texts (written or spoken) created by native speakers for a real communicative purpose, rather than for pedagogical purposes.

However, the selection and implementation of authentic materials present significant pedagogical challenges, requiring careful consideration by the instructor. From a strictly communicative perspective, what is the most compelling rationale for prioritizing the use of authentic materials over pedagogically simplified texts?
