This lesson taught me how to distinguish between authentic and non-authentic materials. It also helped me to refresh my knowledge on the ESA lesson plan format. I find myself using mostly non-authentic materials in my classes, but I would like to make more of an effort to bring in authentic materials for some of my lessons. I have used newspaper articles occasionally, but sometimes that language is much too difficult for my students to understand. If I was teaching a business English course, I would try to find materials related to their field of business, and ask the students to complete activities that may be useful in their line of work.
