authentic-based materials as the materials
which are prepared for native speakers
and not designed to be used for teaching
purposes. In other words, authentic

real advertisements, cooking

songs, web pages, radio & TV broadcasts,

4. Authentic texts provide exposure to
real language.
5. Authentic texts relate more closely

6. Authentic texts support a more

that is useful and connected to them.
Using the authentic materials, the teachers
can get all students’ attention and
