Keywords:
Authentic texts, language games, linguodidactics, language teaching methodology, linguistic competence, learner motivation, pedagogical strategies, contextual understanding.Abstract
This article explores the scientific and practical foundations for the incorporation of authentic texts containing elements of language games in linguodidactics. It highlights the theoretical underpinnings of using such texts, focusing on their ability to enhance linguistic competence, promote critical thinking, and stimulate learner motivation. The paper delves into the pedagogical value of language games as tools for improving contextual understanding, fostering creativity, and bridging the gap between formal language education and real-life communication. Practical examples and case studies are presented to illustrate the effective integration of this approach in language teaching, demonstrating its relevance and applicability across diverse educational contexts. The study concludes by offering recommendations for educators and researchers on designing and utilizing language-game-infused authentic materials to achieve optimal learning outcomes.
