ARGUMENTS FROM SCIENCE AND PRACTICE SUPPORTING THE USE OF REAL TEXTS IN LINGUODIDACTICS THAT INCORPORATE LANGUAGE GAME ASPECTS

Abstract

This paper looks at the justifications for integrating real texts into linguodidactics, especially when such texts include elements of linguistic games from both scientific research and real-world applications. With their genuine language use, real texts give students a wealth of contextual and cultural cues that are crucial for improving their communication skills. By encouraging creativity, cognitive flexibility, and a deeper understanding of language structures, language games like riddles, puns, and metaphors improve the learning process. Real texts and language games together not only improve language competency but also encourage motivation and active learning, according to research from cognitive linguistics and educational methodologies.
