Unit 14 taught me that almost anything an english speaking person would hear or read is an example of authentic materials. This can range from newspapers and magazines to films and menus. I also learned that there are both advantages and disadvantages to using course books. An advantage being that it provides security to both teachers and students and a disadvantage being that they can be outdated and uninteresting for the students. I also learned that we should not use course books for the entire lesson. An alternative to authentic material can be created materials such as crosswords which, unlike authentic materials, can be graded to the level of the students.
