Today I read about Appropriate Classroom Materials. In the ESL teaching
world there is currently a continuing debate as to which type of class
materials for oral and listening activities is more suitable. The choices are
between authentic dialogues and materials taken from authentic sources such as
radio interviews, magazine articles etc. and scripted dialogues prepared
especially for the lesson by the teacher or some other English teaching source.
Generally, the argument for authentic materials is that the materials should
represent what learners will be confronted with in everyday life when using
English. On the other hand, proponents of scripted materials feel that by
preparing the material students are not introduced to issues that may be beyond
the scope of the current level. Both arguments are equally valid, and it is my
own practice to use both types of materials in my classes. Below is a
consideration of what I consider the main advantages and disadvantages of both
types of materials.
