- 1. BENJEL JOY S.DIMAPILIS Authentic vs Created
- 2. OBJECTIVES • Define authenticand created materials • Differentiate authentic and created materials • Determine the advantages and disadvantages of using authentic and created materials
- 3. Authentic Materials - It refersto the use in teaching of text, e.g. photographs, video selections and other teaching resources, that were not specially prepared for pedagogic purposes. - also known as real-life or genuine materials
- 4. AUTHENTIC MATERIALS Nunan (1988)defines authentic materials as the materials "which have been produced for purposes other than to teach language“ Nunan (1999) defines authentic materials as spoken or written language data that has been produced in the course of genuine communication, and not specifically written for purposes of language teaching.
- 5. • Jacobson etal (2003, p. 1) sees authentic materials as printed materials, which are used in classrooms in the same way they would be used in real life.
- 6. • On theother side, Little, Devitt, and Singleton (1989) as cited in Peacock (1997) identify real-life materials as materials which are created and used for a social purpose in the language community of the native speakers.
- 7. • According toHerod (2002) authentic learning 'materials and activities' are designed to imitate the real-world situations. • Herrington and Oliver (2000) suggested a new pedagogical term, called "authentic learning".
- 8. • Wong, Kwokand Choi (1995) describe those authentic materials are identified by their authenticity in time, people and location. These materials exist in the target language country, used by the people of that country and exist in the current situation.
- 9. Authentic Materials Many authors have examinedthe use of authentic materials in the classroom practice. They agree that the use of materials is prominent for the students.
- 10. Authentic Materials Sherman (2003), mentions thatthe importance of authentic materials resides in the fact that "it is a window into culture."
- 11. TYPES OF AUTHENTIC MATERIALS Genhard(1996) classified authentic materials into three categories
- 12. AUTHENTIC LISTENING MATERIALS • radionews, cartoons, songs, etc.
- 13. • SONGS • Videoclips EXAMPLES
- 14. AUTHENTIC VISUAL MATERIALS • streetsigns, magazines. newspapers pictures, post cards, etc.
- 15.
- 16. AUTHENTIC PRINTED MATERIALS • sportsreports, newspapers, restaurant menus, train tickets, etc.
- 17. EXAMPLES • News article• Essay
- 18. Harmer (1994) statesthat authentic material has positive effects on learners, in that it (1) helps learners to produce better language. (2) helps learners to acquire the language faster. (3) makes learners more confident to deal with real life situations. (4) exposes learners to real language. (5) is more related to learners' needs. (6) has a positive effect on learners’ motivation. (7) brings cultural information to the list students' attention. ADVANTAGES OF AUTHENTIC MATERIALS
- 19. • It supportsa more creative approach to teaching. • It relates closely to the interests of many language learners. ADVANTAGES OF AUTHENTIC MATERIALS
- 20. • Miller (2005)states that authentic materials are "too difficult and time consuming to select, edit and prepare.“ • In addition, Martinez (2002) argues that authentic materials are regarded too culturally biased and difficult to comprehend by learners in the classroom. • He adds concerning the cultural effect, that "authentic texts from one culture may give a false impression to students from another. DISADVANTAGES OF AUTHENTIC MATERIALS
- 21. • Klickaya (2004)believes that using authentic materials with weak learners frustrate and demotivate them. • Using authentic materials is a burden for teachers. DISADVANTAGES OF AUTHENTIC MATERIALS
- 22. Created Materials It refers totextbook and other specially developed instructional resources. (Nunan, 1988)
- 23. Created Materials Those that arespecifically designed for the language learners. They are either adapted or simplified or written keeping in mind the language proficiency of the learners in question. (Awasthi, 2006)
- 24.
- 25.
- 26. • It canbe used as motivation for learners. • It is generally built around a graded syllabus, and hence provide a systematic coverage of teaching items. • It is considered more suitable and appropriate for the learners. • Through the use of created materials, it is easier for the learner to master the lesson. • They are efficient: They save teachers’ time enabling teachers to devote time to teaching rather than materials production. • It helps to standardize instruction ADVANTAGES OF CREATED MATERIALS
- 27. • Quality materialstake time to produce and adequate staff time as well as resources need to be allocated. • They may distort content. • They may not reflect students’ interest. • Sometimes it is expensive. • They may contain inauthentic language. DISADVANTAGES OF CREATED MATERIALS
- 28. Author and academiccentered Uncertain global market Europe focus Sell what is published Culture and methodology of origin English for its own sake Past and Current Trends in English Language Textbooks Market led Specific fragmented markets Pacific Rim/Latin American Focus International or local culture Indigenous learning situation English for specific THEN NOW
- 29. UK/US publisher dominance Nativespeaker expertise Culturally insensitive Low risk/competition Little design Artificial texts and tasks Single-volume titles Past and Current Trends in English Language Textbooks Rise in local publishing Nonnative speaker competence Culturally sensitive High risk/competition Design rich Authenticity Multicomponent/multimedia THEN NOW
- 30. Real-life purpose Teachers needtime to choose the appropriate authentic materials. Not based on curriculum, just real life information. Based on culture Giving exposure to the real English language use in daily life AUTHENTIC MATERIALS CREATED MATERIALS Teaching purpose The created materials are already examined. Based on curriculum, made to be systematically aligned with it. Not based on culture, not really considering it. Giving lack of exposure to the real English language use in daily life Authentic and Created Materials can both used to help and guide students in learning.
- 31. • We canemploy both authentic and created materials inside the classroom to attain the goal of mastering the competencies outlined in a country's prescribed curriculum. CONCLUSION

Editor's Notes
- #4 Purpose It can be used to give information, instructions and many more which related to real life.
- #5 In other words, Stubbs (1996) defines authentic texts as "actual, attested, and such that they that they have real authentic instances of use."
- #6 In other words, Stubbs (1996) defines authentic texts as "actual, attested, and such that they that they have real authentic instances of use."
- #9 Teaching materials are a very essential part of teaching and learning a foreign language. These days, the resources for days, teaching materials are available for everybody. The internet is regarded as a very important and rich source for authentic materials. According to Carter & Nunan (2001, p. 68) authentic materials are "ordinary texts not introduced specifically for language teaching”
- #10 Teaching materials are a very essential part of teaching and learning a foreign language. These days, the resources for days, teaching materials are available for everybody. The internet is regarded as a very important and rich source for authentic materials. According to Carter & Nunan (2001, p. 68) authentic materials are "ordinary texts not introduced specifically for language teaching”
- #20 using authentic materials is a burden for teachers. In order to develop learning resources around authentic materials, teachers have to be prepared to spend considerable amount of time locating suitable sources for materials and developing activities and exercises to accompany the materials.
- #27 However, as non-authentic materials are designed and simplified by teachers, it makes non-authentic materials seem unnatural. Textbooks and simplified learning materials are considered giving lack of exposure to the real English language use in daily life. Thus, it is argued that giving the learners authentic materials should be encouraged. Brosnan, Brown, and Hood (1984) as cited in Oura (2001) argue that authentic materials reflect the naturalness of a language. Learners should be exposed to the variety of language form and vocabulary. He claims that simplification of non-authentic teaching materials will increase the difficulty of the task. The focus is on the comprehensive process which takes place when the students extracting the information and knowledge from the materials and make use of them. Therefore, the complexity of the materials should not be a constraint. Unedited authentic materials are suitable for learners to improve their English. As the materials expose various grammatical rules and language features, the learners will keep extracting new knowledge of the language. Gilmore then adds that learners will not be able to learn new things if they are not being exposed to it. Once they get used into the complicated world of the language features, their language proficiency will be more likely to improve.
