The Kentucky Department of Education has been running a series that focuses on the core practices of world language instruction. In this sixth installment, Dorie Conlon Perugini writes, “While students in traditional classes may be exposed to cultural tidbits through a textbook, authentic cultural resources in a modern class can include websites, newspaper and magazine articles, brochures, infographics, YouTube clips, social media posts, and even live or Skyped-in guest speakers from the target culture. As long as the materials were created for a real audience that uses the target language, and not solely for language-learners, it can be used as an authentic resource!”
She continues, “My personal reason for using authentic resources is allowing students to experience culture, rather than simply learning about culture. They also provide students language input that is representative of how language is used in real life – not simplified or watered down.”
