Materials

__Authentic Materials__



 Today's technological society provides us with infinite opportunities to expose our students to music, videos, advertisements, reviews, etc from the target community. The use of authentic materials in our classes prepares our students for real-life experiences they could one day have in another country.

Additionally, we are no longer limited to the CD dialogues that go with a text. Work with your colleagues to use Audacity or other recording software to record dialogues that are relevant to your instruction.
