Using authentic material from the real
world to teach English
STEFFANIE ZAZULAK
There are lots of resources available to
English language teachers today: from
textbooks to online teaching tools, they can
all aid and enrich English lessons. Many
teachers also introduce authentic English
material into their lessons to expose learners
to the language as it is spoken in the real
world.
Authentic material is any material written in
English that was not created for intentional
use in the English language classroom. Using
this content to teach the English language
can make the learning process even more
engaging, imaginative and motivating for students. It can also be useful to elicit
genuine responses from learners.
The great thing about using authentic
material is that it is everywhere, which makes
it easy to find, and simple for learners to
practice English in their own time. Remember
that it isn‟t limited to articles from newspapers
and magazines. Songs, TV programs and
films, radio and podcasts, leaflets, menus –
anything written in English constitutes
authentic material.

TEACHING GRAMMAR IN THE POST
COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH ERA
D I A N A B A U D U C C O
Grammar. To teach or not to teach? This
has been the question that language teachers
have asked themselves for ages. It has been
a matter of debate for teachers, linguists and
second language acquisition experts.
Historically, language teaching approaches
and methods have moved from one extreme
of the spectrum to another as regards the
explicit teaching of grammar. Long before our
times, grammar was at the centre of language
teaching, as it was believed that the study of
the grammar of X‟s language was the best
way to its mastery. So, from medieval times
till around the 1970s, the fixation of language
teaching on the study and description of
structures manifested in approaches such as
the Grammar Translation and the Audio
Lingual method, with short interludes of the
other approaches such as the Direct Method,
Total Physical Response and the Silent way
which although claiming to differ still based
their syllabus on grammar points.
From the Grammar-dominated end of the
spectrum, we moved to the Absolutely-noGrammar end. Grammar based approaches
proved inadequate in that students were
unable to communicate outside the
classroom. Based mainly on Hymes‟
“communicative competence” and Krashen‟s
models of language acquisition, the
Communicative Approach emerged as the
meaning-focused alternative to the formfocused approaches of the past. Strong
versions of the approach emphasized the
teaching of functions and absolutely
discouraged the teaching of grammar structures arguing that communication – and
not language description- was the aim of
language teaching.
However, the studies of the last 30 years
have proved that the lack of grammar
instruction has not encouraged language
acquisition. On the contrary, more recent
studies show that grammar instruction and
explicit knowledge of the target language do
have positive effects on language acquisition.
So, how should we approach the teaching of
Grammar in the Post- CommunicativeApproach Era?

Ba-room, ba-room, ba-room, baripity, baripity,
baripity, baripity. Good. His dad had the pickup going. He
could get up now. Jess slid out of bed and into his overalls.
He didn't worry about a shirt because once he began
running he would be hot as popping grease even if the
morning air was chill, or shoes because the bottoms of his
feet were by now as tough as his worn-out sneakers.
"Where you going, Jess?" May Belle lifted herself
up sleepily from the double bed where she and Joyce Ann
slept.
"Sh." He warned. The walls were thin. Momma
would he mad as flies in a fruit jar if they woke her up this
time of day.
He patted May Belle's hair and yanked the
twisted sheet up to her small chin. "Just over the cow field,"
he whispered. May Belle smiled and snuggled down under
the sheet.
"Gonna run?"
"Maybe."
Of course he was going to run. He had gotten up
early every day all summer to run. He figured if he worked
at it – and Lord, had he worked – he could be the fastest
runner in the fifth grade when school opened up. He had to
be the fastest – not one of the fastest or next to the fastest,
but the fastest. The very best.

Future Cars at CES
The Consumer
Electronic Show (CES)
ran in Las Vegas from
the 5th to the 8th
January 2017, and the
big part of the show
was about cars that
can detect emotion, or are self-driving or are voice
controlled. Honda’s latest concept, equipped with a
digital assistant named HANA, can detect the
driver’s emotions and play appropriate music.
It can also function autonomously as a
ride-sharing vehicle making money for its owner
while the owner is at work or asleep. If you fancy
speaking to your car, the Oasis concept car might
interest you as it is voice-controlled. Its rear is
designed for cargo like parcels or pizzas, and there is a small garden in the dashboard to make
the space more personal.
If you do not want to interact much with
your car, the self-driving ones will do just fine.
Nissan’s Seamless Autonomous Mobility system
will help autonomous vehicles make decisions in
unpredictable situations.

phonetic transcription of the highlighted words in

GEORGE FLOYD, FROM ‘I WANT TO TOUCH THE WORLD’ TO ‘I CAN’T BREATHE’
Mr. Floyd had big plans for life nearly 30 years ago. His death in police custody is powering a movement against police brutality and racial injustice.
HOUSTON — It was the last day of 11th grade at Jack Yates High School in Houston, nearly three decades ago. A group of close friends, on their way home, were contemplating what senior year and beyond would bring. They were black teenagers on the precipice of manhood. What, they asked one another, did they want to do with their lives?
“George turned to me and said, ‘I want to touch the world,’” said Jonathan Veal, 45, recalling the aspiration of one of the young men — a tall, gregarious star athlete named George Floyd whom he had met in the school cafeteria on the first day of sixth grade. To their 17-year-old minds, touching the world maybe meant the N.B.A. or the N.F.L.
“It was one of the first moments I remembered after learning what happened to him,” Mr. Veal said. “He could not have imagined that this is the tragic way people would know his name.”
The world now knows George Perry Floyd Jr. through his final harrowing moments, as he begged for air, his face wedged for nearly nine minutes between a city street and a police officer’s knee.

“Millions of children, every year, start school excited about what they will learn, but quickly become disillusioned when they get the idea they are not as ‘smart’ as others,” writes Jo Boaler. That’s because parents and teachers inadvertently give out the message that talent is inborn — you either have it or you don’t.
Text 3A2-I
“Millions of children, every year, start school excited about what they will learn, but quickly become disillusioned when they get the idea they are not as ‘smart’ as others,” writes Jo Boaler. That’s because parents and teachers inadvertently give out the message that talent is inborn — you either have it or you don’t.
As a math professor, Boaler has seen this firsthand. Many
young adults enter her class anxious about math, and their fear
about learning impacts their ability to learn.
“The myth that our brains are fixed and that we simply
don’t have the aptitude for certain topics is not only scientifically
inaccurate; it is omnipresent and negatively impacts not only
education, but many other events in our everyday lives,” she
writes. Even though the science of neuroplasticity — how our
brains change in response to learning — suggests learning can
take place at any age, this news has not made it into classrooms,
she argues.
Some of our misguided visions of talent have led to racist
and sexist attitudes, she writes. For example, many girls get the
message early on that math is for boys and that boys are better at
it, interfering with their ability to succeed and leading to gender
disparities in fields of study related to math. Similarly, people of
color may also have to overcome stereotypes about fixed
intelligence in order to thrive.
How understanding your brain can help you learn.

I- The b is silent in doubt, comb and bomb. In the word tomb, the b is pronounced.
II- The p is silent in the following words: psychology, raspberry, receipt, cupboard.
III- The l is silent in talk, walk, chalk, would, half.
IV- The h is silent in heir, hour, honor, honest, helicopter.
V- The t is silent in listen, Christmas, castle, whistle.
