USING AUTHENTIC MATERIALS TO BOOST STUDENTS' SPEAKING SKILLS

Abstract

 ANNOTATION: The current study aims to assess whether teaching speaking to foreign language learners with genuine materials is effective. This study included a group of intermediate-level language students from language centers, ranging in age from 14 to 17 years old. To obtain the desired results, participants received two more speaking lessons. During the first lesson, a group of pupils was trained and involved in exercises with both traditional and unauthentic materials. We observed their activity and curiosity. Participants in the second meeting were also observed. However, the fact that they were taught with genuine materials distinguished between the two classes. utilizing actual materials to teach speaking is more effective than utilizing traditional course materials, according to both observation and outcomes.
