"This paper explains how authentic materials can be effectively used in the ESL classroom.

"With the focus on language, communication, and culture in the national standards for foreign language learning (1996), foreign language teachers are continually searching for better ways of accessing authentic materials and providing experiences that will improve their students' knowledge and skills in these target areas. As the Internet transforms communication around the world, it is natural that it should play a major role in the foreign language classroom."
