Prepared by: sarsenbaeva Gulkhatisha Bekniyazova Elzira What is authentic material in language teaching? - Authentic material is any material written in English that was not created for intentional use in the English language classroom. Using this content to teach the English language can make the learning process even more engaging, imaginative and motivating for students. It can also be useful to elicit genuine responses from learners.
What is authentic material in language teaching? - The great thing about using authentic material is that it is everywhere, which makes it easy to find, and simple for learners to practise English in their own time. Remember that it isn’t limited to articles from newspapers and magazines. Songs, TV programmes and films, radio and podcasts, leaflets, menus – anything written in English constitutes authentic material.
What are the advantages of authentic materials in English teaching? - There are lots of advantages to teaching English with authentic texts and materials. For example, you can more easily:
1. Teach to your students’ interests - After getting to know your student (or students) on your first day of tutoring online, you’ll know plenty about their interests, goals and challenges.
- You can then easily curate lesson materials that directly relate to a student’s personal or professional interests and goals.
2. Show how far they’ve come - When you stick to coursebook materials, students often feel like they are bowling with guardrails. By sharing and working on real-world texts, videos, and listening materials, students often feel more motivated.
- After all, they see that they can really comprehend real-world texts (rather than course book materials).
- What should you be aware of?
- Make sure to monitor carefully, be patient, and walk them through the content as many times as needed, so they don’t feel discouraged if they find it more difficult than expected.
