But there's always a reason to read. It is a daily activity and a crucial component of our everyday existence, which are greatly undervalued and typically thought to be within the reach of all. The aim of reading greatly influences the motivation behind reading. The benefits of exposing students to genuine language in a real situation are explored, along with the usage of authentic resources in the classroom.

Using real materials also has the benefit of being very motivating, fostering a sense of accomplishment upon comprehension, and inspiring further reading.
