Why Using Authentic Materials?

Brings up the Study of Culture as part of the language being studied

Authentic materials should be clearly identified and systematically treated as a regular feature of the language instruction.

Authentic Materials

• Speeches• Public announcements• Poems/idioms • Letters/emails• Directions• Invitations• Textbooks• Newspapers/ magazines • Menus/ recipes

• Labels• TV.

Programs/advertisements• Photos/stamps• Games• Songs• Interviews• Phone conversations• diaries

Goals of Using Authentic Materials

1. Recognizing cultural images and symbols

2. Working with cultural products to teach language

3. Examining patterns of everyday life

4. Examining cultural behavior, values and attitudes

5. Exploring and extending language experiences through the context of culture

Arabic Culture

Example: Poemsالشعر

:أبواب• الصائغ عدنان العراقي للشاعر

� بابا أطرُق�أفتحُه�

� بابا نفسي إال أبصر الأفتحُه�أدخُل�

آخر باٍب# سوى شيء الربي يا

عني يفصلني � بابا كْم-
