Spanish teacher Amy Lenord writes,

“With every passing day more and more attention is being paid to the value of using authentic resources in world language instruction. The benefits of authentic resources to both students and teachers of world language are rich, and the time and scrutiny it takes to find a quality resource can be so worth it. But, scrutiny is necessary. While I have been a proponent that authentic resources can be used in teaching any level of language learner, including novices, not every resource is right for every level of a learner, and so some type of criteria is necessary for evaluating the quality and appropriateness of an authentic resource before employing it in instruction.”
