The actuality of the research work. We know that one of the difficult skill, among 
listening, speaking, writing and reading, is reading. Because it demands much time to 
do some kind of tasks, to understand its meaning (reading comprehension), to teach 
that skill to students. That’s why to solve these problems in this course work there 
were find several effective ways one of them is using authentic materials in teaching 
that skill and also it will provide information about facilitation of this procces and its 
difficulties and inconveniences. 
One of the main reason for using authentic materials in the classroom is once outside 
the “safe”, controlled language learning environment, the learner will not encounter 
the artificial language of the classroom but the real world and language how it is 
really used. The role of the teacher is not to delude the language learner but to 
prepare him, giving the awareness and necessary skills so as to understand how the 
language is actually used.
In the first part of this course work, it will be explored literature dealing with usage of 
authentic materials and with some other important components that should be 
included in teaching language which are somehow connected with authenticity. 
In the second part of this work, it will be described teaching project. There are three 
projects with three different classes of different levels. It will also describe the results. 
This is my first opportunity to use my ideas in practise. I will work under experienced
teachers, who can help me to discard my unrealistic ideas, if there were some and give 
me some valuable pieces of advice. Of course it will be a good base for my future 
teaching career, because it is definitely going to use some of my ideas, which will 
show up to be good in my next practice.
