Teaching materials play a key role in language programs by serving as a resource for presenting grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation concepts to learners. They also provide stimulus for classroom activities and support less experienced teachers. While authentic materials capture real language usage, created materials can be tailored to fit learning objectives; teachers should consider both in balancing authenticity with meeting curriculum needs.
