Abstract EN
The mastery of the speaking skill is deemed to be radical for successful language learning.
However, the majority of foreign language learners (henceforth EFL) encounter difficulties in oral interaction.
Some of these difficulties may range from poor fluency, mis-use of spoken grammar, to the lack of vocabulary.
Stressing the importance of speaking, this paper aims to provide insights about the integration of audio authentic materials as a motivational factor in teaching speaking.
In order to achieve the intended objective, a qualitative study was carried out in relevance to the nature of the study.
In order to collect data, the researchers used four data collection methods wherein a number of audio authentic materials were put into practice in five observation sessions.
The application aimed to investigate the speaking performance progress, as well as the perceptions of, and reactions towards, the used materials.
A purposive group consisted in 12 students of third year students of English in Biskra University.
Examining the yielded findings, the results revealed that audio-authentic materials can help EFL learners to improve their fluency, accuracy, and vocabulary.
Also, the results reported an observable progress in learners’ motivation since this study stressed the importance of incorporating authentic materials for better learning.
Finally, this paper concluded by suggesting some pedagogical implications and recommendations for teachers, learners, administratives, educators, and further researchers.
