Adult language learners have specific learning goals that reflect
their lives within a global society, and adults negotiate multiple
and changing identities throughout their personal, academic, and
professional lives. Chapters in Authenticity in the Language
Classroom and Beyond: Adult Learners highlight how teachers havethe
ability to transform language instruction from a mechanical
learning experience to a dynamic interaction to assist learners in
reaching real-world goals. Rather than focus only on native-speaker
norms of language production, English language instruction can
provide adult learners with opportunities to create and act on
their own texts, engage meaningfully with audiences, and develop
interactions that mirror their purpose for learning. The chapters
in this volume demonstrate how language teaching practices engage
learners in authentic experiences, using and producing texts to
meet international and localized communication needs.All the
chapters in this volume demonstrate that authenticity is more than
just the materials we use. Authenticity also means using language
for real purposes. It means engaging students in collaborative
learning, involving discussions, negotiations, and decision making.
Authenticity is creating real uses for English, not just modeling
native-speaker language and culture. With English increasingly
being used as a lingua-franca to connect second language speakers,
authenticity takes on new meanings as we seek to develop learners
who can face the challenge of communicating effectively in an
increasingly globalized world.
