Using authentic materials Guidance on language skills related assignment.
Authentic exposure • Look at the copies of the two receipts. Think of 5 adjectives to describe each person. • I do not know them at all!
Authentic vs. restricted exposure • Exposure to language is a key part of learning that language. • Your learners are exposed to the language through texts that are specially prepared and simplified (restricted) and unadapted texts from non-specialist sources (authentic). • Restricted texts (listening & reading) are often specially designed to provide clear examples of target language. Or simplified through graded language. Have unusually high numbers of specific target language items. • Authentic texts are none of these things, i.e., ont adapted at all.
Let’s watch someone use authentic materials. • Here is a copy of a page from Metro. • If you were using this in class what would you do? What stages would you design and work through with the students? • Now, let’s compare with what the teacher actually did.
The assignment • What are the stages of a reading or listening lesson? • Let’s compare to the assignment. • What type of short authentic texts could you use with your groups? • Find the assignment in your handbook.
