What is an authentic text?“Usually taken to mean a text which was not written for
the language classroom, and which hasn’t been
messed with – it retains its original vocabulary and
grammar, and bits of the text have not been cut out.
Preferably it is unprocessed, i.e. not retyped, so it still
looks the same as it always did: the same font and
graphics. In other words, authentic texts are written for
any purpose other than language learning, and are
intact rather than processed, adapted, or simplified.”
