  2. Why Authentic? • Elliptical structures, repetitions, long pauses, seemingly irrelevant words etc. , all these characteristics of genuine discourse are often ignored by course book writers or, at best, they are tackled in an unsystematic way. • If learners expect over- explicit messages, they may be confused and discouraged by the elliptical nature of everyday language. --- Gabrielatos (2002)

  3. Authentic Materials and Improvement of Listening Proficiency • Chinese learners’ difficulties with authentic listening in general and in the environment of online learning in particular • randomly selected 25 examples of listening materials with a word count of 5617 from the WTE Chinese lessons • classified the speech features into 7 categories: 1. incomplete sentences (meaning recoverable or non-recoverable) 2. Insertions/fillers

  4. Speech Features 3. Repetition 4. Improper grammar usage 5. Unclear and unintelligible utterance 6. Correction 7. Accent

  10. Authentic Materials and Improvement of Listening Proficiency Lin: “第三项,就是说,那么,地面发射一个卫…一颗导弹,最后和这个卫星能够碰下来,就是说,能够接起来,啊,这证明什么呢?也就证明呢中国现利用它来测试,就是未来中国的航天啊,空间站,和这个飞船的对接技术。当然来讲,这个对接不能这么快了,对啊,它到时要,要减慢速度,这样。那么,中国现在有个军事专家,啊,解放军,也讲,他说这个试验呢证明中国有空间对接的能力,所以一箭三雕。"http://wte.dliflc.edu/products/wte/cm_mil073/cm_mil073_act8.html
