I have always thought that authentic materials like songs, movies or fiction books is a fun and engaging source of a language, something that gives a student the touch and feel of what language really is. Most of the course books, even if they are well-composed, do not provide the same level of involvement, immersion in language, however still can be used by a teacher to get a sense of direction and to give a certain slant to the class. The best idea will probably be to mix course book’s materials with the examples of language use in a real life, be it newspaper interviews, tv shows or song lyrics. We need to remember that language only lives and evolves out there in the streets, in the mass media, on the tv screens etc. etc. etc. while course books sometimes struggle trying to be up-to-date and topical. For what it’s worth, different authentic materials may come as a marvelous inspiration for all language-learners to explore new linguistic horizons.
