Developing Communicative Competence Through Authentic Materials in B2 English Language Classrooms

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Developing communicative competence at the B2 level requires more than mastering grammatical structures and vocabulary. Learners need to understand and use English in situations that reflect communication beyond the classroom. Authentic materials, such as online articles, interviews, podcasts, advertisements, and professional documents, provide valuable opportunities to achieve this objective. This article examines their role in B2 English language teaching, focusing on material selection, task design, learner engagement, and independent language use. It argues that the effectiveness of authentic materials depends on their relevance to learning objectives and their purposeful integration into classroom activities.
