Authentic and Non-Authentic Materials: Their Strengths and Weaknesses - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
Imagine you are in a language class and the teacher has given you a task. You are excited. The last time you completed an assignment like this one you gained a greater sense of confidence in the target language. After completing the last assignment the confidence gained from it gave you the courage to strike up a conversation with the waiter at the restaurant where you were dining. He was from the country of your target language. You said "hello" and also read the menu and ordered it in the TL. Why? Where did this confidence come from? I do not want to oversimplify the answer because learning a language takes time and effort, it is a compilation of many things, but in this instance, the reason is that your teacher brought a menu from a local restaurant...

1. Take advantage of pre-teaching.
2. Focus on a single language point and give your students a clear goal.
3. Vary the role authentic materials play in your lessons.

Alumni Experiences
Nowadays the ESA method is used all over the world to teach English. ESA is the first letters of the phases of an English language lesson. These three elements are; Engage, Study and Activate. The classic method only included study phase. It wasn't important to teach how to speak the foreign language in the past. However, it is a big issue now. It is hard to improve speaking skills in a country where English isn't the first language as the students aren't surrounded by English and don't have the opportunity to practice realistic situations.

Teaching Ideas
Authentic materials and created materials are some of the most effective materials an instructor teaching English as a foreign language can use. You can use both created materials and authentic materials in teaching a wide variety of students and the result will remain the same.

In going through the TEFL certification course, you learn the different group levels of students you could be teaching.
