Authentic texts» 
were defined as those which were de-
signed for native speakers: they were «real» texts designed 
not for language students, but for the speakers of the lan-
guage in question (Harmer, 1991: 185-88).
However, nowadays a new definition has been provided. It 
is not merely based on 
who 
designs the material and 
to whom 
is addressed, but on whether the language used sounds au-
thentic in part or in its entirety, and on whether students are

likely to hear or read it in real situations. For these reasons we 
should not define authentic material on the basis that it has 
been designed for native speakers.
Consequently, anything a native speaker of English would 
hear or read or use can be described as authentic: theatre 
programmes, newspapers, magazines…Because authentic 
materials are not designed for the EFL student they are not 
graded for level, although some are obviously more difficult 
to understand than others. Thus, the teacher should select 
the material carefully, with the needs and interests of the stu-
dents in mind, and also decide what the students are to do 
with the material. So the same piece of authentic material 
can be used at different levels; an easier task can be set for 
lower level students and a more difficult task set for higher 
level students.
A non-authentic text in language teaching terms is one 
that has been written especially for language students. Such 
texts sometimes concentrate on the language we wish to 
teach.
There are a number of clues which can show us that the 
language used in this type of material is artificial:
 
— Both speakers use perfectly formed sentences all the 
time. Yet, conversation between people is just not like that!
 
— The language is extremely unvaried.
 
— Their aim is to isolate bits of language so that students 
can concentrate on it.
Such material should not be used, however, to help stu-
dents become better listeners or readers. The obviously ar-
tificial nature of the language makes it very unlike anything 
that they are likely to encounter in real life. Whilst some may 
claim that it is useful for teaching structures, it cannot be 
used to teach reading or listening skills.
According to Harmer (1991:185–88), in addition to the 
two previous types of written materials, we should consider a 
third type, called
