 INTRODUCTION

“teaching materials are tools that can be figuratively cut

 Definitions

 Richards and Schmidt (2010) define authentic
materials as those materials that were not originally
developed for pedagogical purposes, such as the use of
magazines, newspapers, advertisements, news reports,
or songs. Such materials are often thought to contain
more realistic and natural examples of language use than
those found in textbooks and other specially developed
teaching materials.
Nunan (1989) provides the conventional definition of
authentic texts: he says authentic materials are usually
defined as those which have been produced for purposes
other than to teach language.

Authentic materials keep students
informed about what is happening in the
world, so they have an intrinsic educational
value. (Sanderson, 1999).
Students are exposed to real discourse, as in videos of
interviews with famous people where intermediate students
listen for gist.
Authentic materials have a positive effect on learner
motivation.
Authentic materials can produce a sense of achievement
The same piece of material can be used under different
circumstances if the task is different.
Language change is reflected in the materials so that
students and teachers can keep abreast of such changes.
Authentic materials can encourage reading for pleasure
Authentic materials support a more creative approach to
teach
Authentic materials may be too culturally biased, so unnecessarily
difficult to be understood outside the language community.
Too many structures are mixed so lower levels have a hard time
decoding the texts.
Special preparation is necessary which can be time consuming.

from the American sitcom "The Middle".
Suggested procedures

ever does it
( ) We’re really gonna go through these charades again?
( ) We never stick with our resolutions, so what about we picked one for each
other?
( ) I think Axl’s on to something

the real language and content rather than the form.
 Learners feel that they are learning a target language
as it is used outside the classroom.
 Authentic materials help students to understand
and motivate and get real, useful and meaningful
language rather than the form
