Mô tả:

I have conducted an experimental research at a second year English majored class. The following are the findings achieved from the study and then displayed in my thesis: (1) the comparison between pretest and posttest scores of students from control group and experimental group emphasized better improvements in reading comprehension of students from experimental group after the exposure to authentic materials; (2) The interviews conducted with students from experimental group showed students’ preference towards authentic materials since they gave enormous benefits such as updated content, interesting writing style, various cultural values, knowledge about health and education all over the world, better reading comprehension, and cooperative skills with others; (3) Some difficulties were mentioned namely lack of background knowledge, new vocabulary, and unfamiliar writing style. Based on this, some suggestions were made to make best use of authentic materials, which consisted of choosing appropriate authentic texts, pre-teaching new words or providing related background knowledge
