Adapting Authentic Material for Language Learning

Adapting Authentic Material for Language Learning

Abstract

This article discusses the issue of simplification (or adaptation) of authentic English language materials for learners of lower English proficiency. Such authentic materials are defined as those taken directly from real lifesituations, such as railway schedules or content-specific Internet websites, rather than materials designed specifically for language study. Two main forms of simplification are noted: linguistic simplification and learning task simplification, and the pros and cons of each form are outlined. To illustrate such kinds of simplification, several sample lessons using simplified or adapted authentic English learning materials for an undergraduate ESP course in sport and communication are outlined. この論文は英語力の乏しい学習者のための信頼のおける英語資料の平易化(適応化)の問題を考察している。そのような信頼のおける資料は、言語研究のため特別にデザインされた資料よりむしろ鉄道時刻表、内容の特殊なインターネットウエブスターのような実際の生活状況から直接に取った資料として特徴づけられている。平易化の二つの主な形式が示されている。つまり、言葉の平易化と学習課題の平易化そしてそれぞれの形式の賛否両論が略述される。そのような種類の平易化を例証するために、スポーツとコミュニケーションの学部ESPコースで平易化され、適応化された信頼のおける英語学習資料を使ういくつかのサンプルレッスンが略述されている。
