The document outlines a workshop on exploiting authentic materials as alternatives to textbooks in English language teaching. The workshop uses photographs to design language learning activities and tasks. Participants work in groups to analyze activities done using a photo and to create new activities for different photos based on criteria like interest, skills practiced, and potential for extension. Groups then present their activities to the class. The workshop aims to demonstrate how photos can be used to develop meaningful, engaging tasks for language learning.
