� Written and oral communications produced by members of a language and culture group for members of the same language and culture group (Shrum & Glisan, 2005, p. 74)
� Primary source documents – an authentic historical
document of an actual event � Authentic materials are usually NOT textbooks
What are our students’ Interpretive Skills?
What are our students’ Interpretive Skills?
Interpretive Listening Skills
Interpretive Reading Skills
Rationale for Authentic Texts
� Expose students to real language in context � Moving beyond translation � Interesting way to allow students to discover new
information � Students interpret language even with limited knowledge � Cultural exploration � Higher order thinking skills � Extra time and effort are rewarding � Role shift: teacher à facilitator learner à discoverer
Considerations for choosing Authentic Materials and creating associated tasks for the classroom:
� Change task NOT text � Not just translation
� Avoid glossing – ask leading questions � Part of performance tasks (IPA Presentational & Interpersonal)
� Higher order thinking skills – analyzing, synthesizing, evaluating
� CULTURE � Lower affective filter
÷ Pre-reading/Pre-listening tasks ÷ Whole/small group à individual à assessment ÷ Questions in English v. Target Language
