Abstract:
The usage of authentic materials in language education has emerged as a pivotal strategy in enhancing the acquisition of a second language. This article investigates the impact of integrating authentic materials—defined as resources originally produced for native speakers, such as newspapers, songs, movies, and social media content—on the process of language learning. The findings of the research underscore the importance of authentic materials in creating a more engaging, motivating, and effective language learning environment, suggesting that their strategic use can significantly impact language acquisition.
