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.”
