The document discusses the use of authentic materials in language learning. It provides arguments for and against restricting authentic materials, as well as supporting details. It argues that exposing students to authentic materials is highly motivating, gives a sense of achievement, reflects real language use, and promotes different language skills. However, it also notes that learning depends on what materials teachers provide and could limit exposure.

• Restricting SL material could lead to:
• Loss of motivation
• depends on materials provided by teacher
• Less exposure of authentic materials
• Students should be exposed to authentic material to
aid SLL because...
• AM is highly motivating

• The language that learners hear
and read serves as input to their
language development.
• The cognitive processes that
allow them to learn from input
are not ‘shut down’ when they
are interacting with other
learners.
• Group and pair work activities
are very useful for the learners
to make them encourage and
promote second language
development. It will contribute
to language teaching and
learning like speaking abilities
of the students.

• Students can only learn the language they are
exposed to, they do not learn everything they
are taught. Sometimes, they learn a lot of
language items that they are not taught.
• -There are some teaching methods which give
learners the opportunity to learn only a
restricted number of words and some
sentences types, these teaching methods
should be suitable for the learners’ age,
interests, needs, experiences and learning
styles.
• -If the language taught is appropriate for the
students’ levels, learning and teaching process
can be successful.

5. • Learning theorists have suggested for some time that children's'
concepts evolve through direct interaction with the environment, and
materials provide a vehicle through which this can happen.
• Authentic materials are important to let the student derive their own
understanding and knowledge of the world with any of the language
they have learnt.
Question 13
Teachers should use materials that
expose students only to language
structure they have already been
taught.

• Cognitivism
• Natural Approach by Chomsky.
• - Learners learned by imitation and repetition
Question 14
When learners are allowed to
interact freely (for example, in
group or pair activities), they copy
each other’s mistakes.
- AGREE -
• Constructivism
• Students construct their own understanding and
knowledge of the world, through experiencing things and
reflecting on those experiences.
• When they encounter something new from what they have
been thought, they will reconcile it with their previous
ideas and experience, maybe changing what they believe,
or maybe discarding the new information as irrelevant.
• In any case, the students are active creators of their own
knowledge. We can see that they will ask questions,
explore, and assess what they know.
Question 15
Students learn what they are
