Abstract
This study was designed to explore the use of authentic materials in English lessons at Hadero Secondary and Preparatory School at grade eleven. The research was designed following mixed approach to achieve the objective of the study. The data for the study were collected by using questionnaire, semi-structured interview, classroom observations and text book evaluation. The necessary data were collected from Eleven English teachers and eighty students from the given grade. Then, the collected data were analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative methods of data analysis. The four types of data were merged in the interpretation stage to integrate them each other. The study revealed that all the teachers had not used authentic materials in English lessons. On the other hand, it was found that grade 11 English textbook had not incorporated authenticity in its content and teachers hardly taught English with authentic materials. Moreover, English language teachers had not used any supplementary materials along with the text book. The study also portrayed that most of the students could not communicate effectively with the teacher in the classroom interaction and teachers taught English without context in their actual teaching. In so far as the contribution of the teaching /learning is concerned, the study indicated that the use of authentic materials in English lessons as well as in ELIC centers create a fertile ground for learners to use the language in meaningful way especially in a social context. The results of the study also indicated that almost all of the teachers and students strongly agreed up on the benefits of authentic materials in English lessons, but they didn‟t give considerable attention to the supplementary materials. Finally, based on these findings, the researchers made conclusions and recommendations for the necessary measures and further research works on the issue.
