AUTHENTIC MATERIALS VRS NON AUTHENTIC MATERIALS


I’ am going to talk about two contrast topics.
First of all I’m going to mention something important about authentic materials.
Authentic Materials are those which were not created or edited expressly for language learners. This definition means that most everyday objects in the target language qualify as authentic materials.
The use of authentic materials in the classroom is a benefit for the students understanding and learning, it is the best way that the teachers use to increase the motivation using positive ideas to achieve the goal in the language. When the teachers use effectively, authentic materials help bring the real world into the classroom and significantly enliven the ESL Class.
Second I’m going to talk about non authentic materials. The Non Authentic Materials are those that help students to learn but in a difficult and tired way. It means that the teacher has to find different ways to teach to involve and maintain students in the classroom; it is because students lost the motivation to see always the same materials to study, they see the class boring and they prefer to do other things. When the teachers have this problem students feel that they do not have a goal to achieve with the language and sometimes abandon the classes.
As a conclusion with these topics is important that we as teachers take into account the differences between them and try to be better using and doing new things to teach and increase the students learning in the classrooms.
