Connect Your Classroom to the World
Authentic materials bridge the gap between classroom language use and real life
language use by bringing familiar linguistic situations and materials right into the
classroom. When teachers use authentic materials, they are in fact helping ESL
students to make a comfortable transition into the L2 culture.
Give your students some weather reports and ask them to apply for a few jobs on
the web to make learning a part of their everyday life. Your students will
appreciate the lessons and remember new words much better when they need to
use them for survival.
So let’s put away the ESL workbooks and experiment with the “real stuff” out
there!
