My initial impression of this article was surprise how authentic material might help to students in their learning process. Nowadays, the Internet bring us many helpful ESL resources that teacher might use in classroom teaching because on the web exits a lot of tools online. Something that I learned from this article was how to make a lab session and how to apply authentic material in classroom. It is important that in lab sessions teachers take into account that is not just to students play on the computer or pass the time in front a computer because the purpose is that students learn and practice a second language through authentic material as TV show, Radio, news broadcasts, documentaries, movies, and phone messages that reinforce the listening skill.
Another type of authentic materials are photographs, art works, signs with symbols, postcards and picture book that reinforce the visual part of a lab session in classroom. Moreover, printed material as restaurant menus, sales catalogues, travel brochures, blogs, movie posters, and food labels helps in foreign classes.
Something i want to remember from the article is that authentic material plays an important part of students’ life and it is important that teachers introduce common things that happen in their real life for example if the vocabulary that the teacher is going to introduce is food he/she can be use food from their own country because this help to students to get a better idea of what the class is about.
To conclude, incorporate authentic material in ESL classroom help in the process learning of students.
I agree with your opinion. the authentic materials aid students and teachers. Students to involved them in the real life through different websites and other technological resources.Teachers are aid thanks to internet, they can prepared their materials easier. so both are aid students to learn more and teachers to have a better resources for create interesting and interactive classes.
