Authentic vs Non-Authentic Materials by Pavithira Sivasubramaniam is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Authentic material refers to texts, photos, videos and other resources that were not designed for language teaching, such as magazines, newspapers and song lyrics. It has advantages like motivating learners and exposing them to real culture and language. However, it also contains difficult language. Non-authentic material refers to resources created for teaching like worksheets and textbooks. It is easier for learners to understand but lacks authenticity. Both have benefits depending on the teaching needs.
