7.
students discuss the ideas in the text 
8.
teacher review the thoughts on the board 
The estimated time is 45 minutes to an hour, and the planning time is 20 
minutes. All of these activities are practical and significant. Notice, though, that only 
one piece of authentic material (in this case, an article containing no more than 300 
words) is encountered during what amounts to an hour of class. Besides, assume 
that the teacher was to spend 20 minutes discovering some fascinating articles from 
the newspaper, with no vocabulary list or worksheet. Each article could be read 
aloud by the teacher during class, with the students following along in their copies. 
This would give extraordinary contribution with normal intonation and 
pronunciation of new words and names. Anyone could then discuss or ask questions 
about any words or phrases that confused them. The teacher could lead a class 
discussion of the substance of the content, following up on whatever points were of 
particular interest to the students. These activities would be more genuine and 
spontaneous. They are more student-centered because the students themselves select 
the vocabulary and ideas to be examined.
Conclusion 
Authentic materials offer the possibility to students to reflect on the context, 
on the environment the foreign language is expressed and developed, by having the 
possibility to detect quick changes that it can represent. Through the use of authentic 
materials, students will have the possibility to feel part of the reality and culture of 
the language they are learning. Thus, the teachers should use more authentic 
materials, because they enable knowing it in its social-cultural, regional and 
individual varieties, within the proper authentic moments of communication. 
Teachers should be more concerned with using appropriate materials that will help 
their students learn the language the most effectively. Teachers should also offer 
updated authentic materials, which are attractive, interesting, motivating, and 
functional and which can adapt to the linguistic needs and students' interest.
