a) The value of using authentic materials in foreign language teaching
• Authentic materials mean written or spoken texts that were not written for language teaching (The TEFL Academy, 2018). By utilizing authentic travel material, I found that I added more enthusiasm to my activities and I can ensure genuine examples of language that is used in everyday situations, not only for learning purposes found in course books, which encourages them to build up a more extensive language base. It is an approach to make my lesson fun and intriguing for the students as they are at an age where they can travel and enjoy the world if they should choose to do so. By making use of authentic reading materials I can provide information about a target country or place to visit that I want to share with my students. My authentic reading passage provides students with an association with this present reality, the more lesson and activities gains authenticity.
b) Reasons for the selection of this text and the 12 vocabulary items
• Since I am managing with mixed nationality class of 15 advanced students, I have picked this particular topic because it will be fascinating and energizing for students who need to find out about the excellent and beautiful spot in the world so far as that is concerned. I pick a travel article since I need to take students to an authentic learning experience that prompts imagination, creativity, discovery, mindfulness, and advancement in and outside the real world. A huge number of these students already have a broad understanding of the country they currently live in therefore, they will be confident and comfortable enough to discuss this topic. Additionally, the exercises I have picked will improve student’s vocabulary, speaking and pronunciation skills.
