Authenticity is the key for a successful language classroom!!!

    As English teachers all what we do in class whether in Comprehension, Grammar, Vocabulary or writing; aims for leading our students towards fluency and accuracy in producing the English language orally and in its written form. The best way to do this is through applying authentic activities and presenting authentic situations where the students can really use what they are learning.

 
    For example, when teaching Vocabulary or Grammar it will be beneficial to introduce them through corpus, pragmatics and discourse analysis. Corpus is a wide dictionary where all the English words and grammatical structures are listed so that people can benefit from it and see how and when and in which situation the words they aim to see is used. Pragmatics deals with language in use and the contexts in which it is used including the taking of turns in ta conversation. And discourse analysis deals with how meaning of words and structures change in conversations form country to another.

      In this way, students will discover the new things the teacher is presenting through real life situations that reveal how a specific word or grammatical structure is used in different situations.
How meaning of structures and words change in conversations with respect to where the conversation is taking place and who are the participants in it.

   These aspects give teachers in classrooms tremendous and huge numbers of endless resources that they can easily get access to. Such materials will also trigger the students' interests and encourage them to participate more during the courses.
