The Use of Authentic Text to Teach Writing Skills to Political Science Students

Journal Title: Science and Education a New Dimension - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 154

Abstract

Using authentic materials in teaching ESP is part and parcel of communicative approach methodology. Unadapted materials bring the classroom closer to real-life language use and make language learning more meaningful and engaging for students. Both a challenge and benefit for teachers though is that from a vast array of authentic materials available today, they have to choose the ones which would meet their students’ needs and expectations. Based on an ESP class taught to political science students, this article offers a suggestion on how to approach writing skills (namely, using cohesive devices) by analyzing the construction of an authentic article.
