alleryCLT classes use "authentic texts", meaning texts written:
ABy the teacher for the class
BOnly in simple grammar forms
CFor purposes other than teaching
DIn the learners' mother tongue
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. For purposes other than teaching
1. CLT uses authentic texts such as newspapers and notices.
2. These are written in the target language for purposes other than language learning.
3. A text made by the teacher for the class is not authentic in this sense.
4. A text in simplified grammar or in the mother tongue is also not authentic.
**Why not the others:** Teacher-made texts and simplified texts are made for teaching. A mother-tongue text is not target-language material.
