Using Authentic Materials as a Motivational Strategy to Enhance Oral Proficiency: The Case Study of Second Year ‘License’ Students at Tlemcen University

Abstract

The current work highlights the potential of incorporating authentic materials into the EFL classroom. This research work focuses more on whether EFL teachers use authentic materials in EFL classrooms and if they hold positive attitudes toward the implementation of these materials. Also, this study constraints on how these authentic materials contribute to the enhancement of students’ oral proficiency during the oral sessions .As a result of this research problem ,we realized that a substantial input of authentic materials customized to the learners' levels and interests had increased their sensitivity to professionalism in their speaking and listening skills. Moreover, if this authentic material is appropriately selected and efficiently implemented will inevitably strengthen and improve the oral proficiency of the students.
