An ELT Glossary Authentic Materials

Sabtu, 28 Februari 2015




  • Definition : The term authentic materials refers to texts not specifically written for language learning but originally intended for a native speaker audience 
  • Examples : an article from a UK or US newspaper; a travel brochure; a film on DVD 
  • Many writers distinguish between the authenticity of the text itself and the authenticity of the purpose for which it is used.  "Authentic" uses of texts may be eg reading/listening for pleasure (a film) or to get information (a travel brochure) while studying any of these texts  to focus on the language they contain would be a  non-authentic purpose.
