3.  Cultural appropriateness (e.g. absence of any phrases or pictures that can be 
offensive, also whether the text is culturally accessible)  
4.  The level of difficulty of the language in relation to the ability of the target

• Tasks should as far as possible be authentic too – they should replicate real 
processes used by readers/ listeners when they deal with texts
