Learning a foreign language and being able to use it for communicative purposes require more than the rote learning of vocabularies and grammatical structures. In order to use efficiently this international language which is English and to acquire the capability to communicate effectively in it, Beninese English learners need to improve their communicative competence. In general, communicative competence can be defined as the learner‟s ability to apply and use grammatical rules, to form correct utterances and to know how to use them appropriately (Brown, 2007). In other words, the basic idea of communicative competence remains the ability to use language appropriately, both receptively and productively in real life situations. For this to be possible, various sources of input are considered among which authentic language input through AM. Morly and Guariento (2001) claim that the purpose of using AM is to prepare students for their social lives. In other words, they are used in order to bridge the language gap between classroom knowledge and real life.
