Resumen
The following investigation has the intention of determining the possibility for authentic or real communication to take place within the Bachelor in Secondary Education with English Specialty classes within the Benemerita y Centenaria Escuela Normal del Estado de San Luis Potosi. The work at hand is in the explorative practice line of research and has its data collection based on observations, questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Inherent characteristics of authentic communication were considered as well as the communicative approach in order to verify if authentic communication took place in the classroom. An analysis of students’ beliefs and class interactions were considered, and it was determined that contextualized pedagogical discourse was present, yet, there was a lack of authentic communication. The professors were able to carry out their roles as teachers and provide a simulated context for language practice to occur, but we must not mistake this for authentic communication.
