Teaching with Authentic Materials: Ready-to-Use Activities for Teen Learners

Katherine Reilly

How can we help teens use English beyond the classroom? In this practical workshop, teachers will explore two engaging activities that combine intercultural learning with authentic language use. Through a Cultural Detective task and a €500 Around Europe travel challenge, participants will discover how photos, advertisements, maps, schedules, menus, and websites can spark curiosity, develop intercultural competence, and promote meaningful communication. Teachers will leave with ready-to-adapt ideas that bring real-world English into their classrooms.
