Abstract

The use of authentic materials in teaching English as a foreign language has become increasingly significant in modern pedagogy. Authentic resources such as newspapers, magazines, videos, podcasts, advertisements, and real-life conversations provide learners with exposure to genuine language use and cultural contexts. This paper explores the theoretical background, pedagogical benefits, challenges, and practical applications of authentic materials in English language teaching (ELT).
