00:00:00.570 --> 00:00:03.020 
>>In that sense authentic,
and I'm now going to borrow

00:00:03.020 --> 00:00:06.910 
from the sort of popular jargon
of what language teachers tend

00:00:06.910 --> 00:00:09.660 
to view that the simple
definition is always language

00:00:09.660 --> 00:00:13.070 
produced by native speakers for
native speakers to be consumed

00:00:13.070 --> 00:00:16.970 
in a native environment, so that
kind of is just a general rubric

00:00:16.970 --> 00:00:18.420 
if you think of what's
out there,

00:00:18.420 --> 00:00:21.490 
well almost all literature
would fall into this category;

00:00:21.490 --> 00:00:26.030 
anything in the media, and in
press, in a film, on television,

00:00:26.030 --> 00:00:28.020 
all of that's authentic.

00:00:28.020 --> 00:00:30.760 
That being said, not all
authentic language is what we

00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:33.680 
want to bring to our classroom,
so we are looking still

00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:37.490 
in a sense to manipulate, to
massage good authentic materials

00:00:37.490 --> 00:00:39.400 
to make them appropriate
for our classrooms.

00:00:39.400 --> 00:00:42.510 
But to give our students
as much as we can,

00:00:42.510 --> 00:00:46.090 
the sense that they are indeed
encountering the very language

00:00:46.090 --> 00:00:49.320 
they will encounter without
question once they get

00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:49.830
into country.
