Using Authentic Materials to Teach Speaking
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to find out whether the using authentic materials on teaching speaking is effective for foreign language learners. In this research a group of language learners who study at language center on intermediate level, at the age of 17.1 on average, participated. To get results participants had two extra speaking lessons. In the first lesson group of learners were taught and did activities with usual and non-authentic materials. Their interest and activeness were observed. In the second meeting participants were observed too. But the difference between two lessons was that they were taught with authentic materials. Both observation and results showed that using authentic materials in teaching speaking is more efficient than using usual class materials.
