Authentic Materials when teavhing writing

The author clarifies the process of selection of materials should be focused on the age, context, learning needs, outcomes set, and so on. Considering these aspects allows language learners to use and improve their language skills, cultural knowledge, and real use of language in real life.

The authors emphasize that not all materials can be used with all kinds of learners and learners from different backgrounds. However, they suggest audio, visual, and printed material can be included in the development of writing activities since using an array of materials promotes motivation, critical thinking, cultural knowledge, and others.
