Why do we use authentic materials in the classroom?

[41Hathaichanok081]

In my opinion, authentic materials are very helpful to L2 learners. There are several authentic materials for a teacher to choose in teaching. Apart from attraction which AM can provide, it makes students get closer to an authentic language use in L1. In the coursebook, the audio is made for learning. If the students learn from the coursebook only, they will not be familiar with authentic L2.
