THE USE OF AUTHENTIC MATERIALS IN CLASSROOMS

Abstract

Abstract: The sources of authentic materials that can be used in the classroom
are infinite, but the most common are newspapers, magazines, TV programs, movies,
songs and literature. One of the most useful is the Internet. Whereas newspapers and
any other printed material date very quickly, the Internet is continuously updated, more
visually stimulating as well as being interactive, therefore promoting a more active
approach to reading rather than a passive one.
