LESSON 9

Collaborate: Authentic materials


There may be different sources of authentic materials : the teacher, the learners or a key contact, such as a line manager or company training manager. If possible, texts in electronic format should be requested so that they can be converted into useful materials for classroom use.

For this task you wish to source authentic texts for three different ESP courses to be delivered for the following groups :
  1. Travel agency staff
  2. Nurses at an international medical center
  3. Maintenance staff of an oil company

Collaborate to produce three lists, one for each of the above groups. Contribute one new example of an authentic text type, e.g. emails, to each list.
