In modern era, using authentic communication and meaningful language use in real-life situations is a pivotal approach in language teaching and learning, emphasizing the importance of real-world relevance and practicality. This pedagogical strategy is grounded in the belief that language acquisition is most effective when learners are engaged in communication that mirrors authentic situations they are likely to encounter outside the classroom. Authentic communication necessitates a grasp of cultural nuances, social norms, and context. It fosters intercultural competence, enabling learners to communicate more effectively and empathetically with speakers of the target language.
