Lizdey Ordoñez Segura

IN YOUR OPINION, WHAT ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PRINCIPLES IN MATERIALS DEVELOPING...I consider that the most important principles in the development of materials is the basis for the selection of didactic material and the good handling of the foreign language, since that is how you reach what you intend to reach.

What are authentic materials? Name at least 5 examples of authentic materials Authentic materials are those that are closest to reality and support students in their knowledge, skills, and attitudes in environments similar to those they will face in everyday life. Example: songs, magazines, news, games, newspapers

What are non-authentic materials? Name at least 5 examples of inauthentic materials Inauthentic materials are teaching materials developed and designed for pedagogical support. These have been modified for educational purposes only. Examples: letters, word search, books, crossword puzzles, scripts.
