Laburpena

Authentic materials are especially important for ESP trainees, since they reproduce an immersion environment and provide a realistic context for tasks that relate to learner�s needs. Realia and authentic materials increase learners� motivation but are difficult to adapt to the learners� level of language, especially at the beginning level. It is also important to note that preparing such materials can be very time-consuming. Nowadays, authentic materials must be constantly updated, as they are more and more frequently on demand in ESP or EAP classes. A review of the different opinions of experienced authors and their arguments for and against the use of realia and authentic materials in the ESP classroom is offered in this article.
