THE EFFECTIVENESS OF USING AUTHENTIC MATERIALS IN DEVELOPING STUDENTS' READING SKILLS
Keywords:
The incorporation of authentic materials in foreign language education has been widely discussed in the literature. Nuttall (2005) [1] emphasizes the importance of exposing learners to real language as it is used in everyday contexts, arguing that such exposure fosters better reading strategies and comprehension skills. Authentic texts, in her view, allow students to encounter linguistic forms and vocabulary in more natural settings, helping them bridge the gap between classroom language and real-life communication.Abstract
In today's ESL classrooms, reading is regarded as a fundamental language skill crucial for both academic success and effective communication. Conventional reading resources, which are typically designed specifically for educational purposes, often struggle to engage students or accurately represent how language is used in everyday situations. As a result, there is a growing trend to use authentic materials—such as narrative stories, poems —sourced from the real world to connect classroom learning with practical language use.
