EFL books are great and fun to use, however, they always avoid most controversial topics. Violence, gun control, death penalty…. Should we really ignore these issues or should we allow them in our classrooms? Should we also never teach swear words, even if our students ask us what they mean? And where is the line we should never cross? Sensitive topics and swear words are all part of our real life, and life is all about taking risks and sharing opinions. Why not get real at your lessons?

One of the main differences between adult and teenage learners is that the former know exactly why they are learning English and what they need it for. That’s why they are more determined, demanding and choosy in terms of contents. To meet the adult learners’ needs and keep them motivated the contents should be relevant and meaningful for them. One way to do it is to bring real media into your classroom.
However, although media give learners access to authentic language it also represents a double challenge for language teachers.
In today’s talk we will discuss how encourage communication and authentic language use, utilise your students’ previous knowledge and, above all, maintain a fun atmosphere in the classroom with the help of BBC materials.
