This article examines the theoretical foundations of using authentic video materials in language teaching. It explores the role of authentic audiovisual content in enhancing learners’ communicative competence, cultural awareness, and motivation. The study analyzes key theoretical frameworks, including communicative language teaching, multimedia learning theory, and constructivist approaches. It also discusses the pedagogical benefits and challenges associated with integrating authentic videos into the classroom. The findings suggest that authentic video materials significantly improve language acquisition when applied with appropriate instructional strategies.
