CLIL2.5

Authentic materials:
site 1  / site 2  / site 3 

Authentic materials : newspaper, magazine articles,  songs, web pages, radio & TV broadcasts, films, leaflets, flyers, posters, indeed anything written in the target language and used unedited in the classroom.

Graded materials : not uncommon in real life,  you will never find these types of situations that resemble real-life conversations.

Authentic materials,are real in the sense that they are not created for students as the target audience but for native speakers. 

Disadvantages :
-  they are not teacher-friendly, and you may need to spend several hours reading or watching videos until you finally find what you need in order to use in your class.
- contain often difficult language, unneeded vocabulary items and complex language structures
-  authentic materials may be too culturally biased and too many structures are mixed, causing lower levels have a hard time decoding the texts.


Advantages :
  • They have a positive effect on learner motivation.
  • They provide authentic cultural information.
  • They provide exposure to real language.
  • They relate more closely to learners ' needs.
  • They support a more creative approach to teaching.
