S
Semi-authentic material This is authentic material which has been:
1. Adapted for use in the classroom.
2. Specially written for classroom use, but which has the style and format of authentic material.

Typical adaptations include:
  • making the sentences shorter
  • simplifying the vocabulary
  • removing complex grammar.

    Semi-authentic material should still keep the basic “look” and format of authentic material.
