Which term refers to materials that are partially authentic and used in language education?

  1. Authentic materials

  2. Semi-authentic materials

  3. Adaptive materials

  4. Virtual materials

The correct answer is: Semi-authentic materials

The correct term for materials that are partially authentic and used in language education is semi-authentic materials. These materials typically contain elements of real language usage and context but may be adapted or modified to suit educational purposes. For example, semi-authentic materials could include modified texts or recordings that retain some aspects of the original context while being easier for learners to understand or more suitable for their levels. This approach balances the need for authenticity in language teaching with the necessity of making content accessible to learners who may not yet have the proficiency to engage fully with completely authentic materials.
