Exposure to authentic materials, such as newspapers, books, movies, and social media content in the target language, plays a crucial role in language learning as it provides real-life context, cultural insights, and opportunities for language practice. Authentic materials expose learners to natural language usage, idiomatic expressions, and colloquialisms that may not be found in traditional textbooks or language courses. Additionally, they offer cultural context and nuances that enhance comprehension and cultural understanding. Engaging with authentic materials also provides opportunities for active language practice, such as reading, listening, and writing, which reinforces learning and improves language skills.
