Abstract
Authentic texts - are defined as may be thought of as any text that was written and published for the public. Journal articles, blog posts and novels are just a few examples. Authentic texts are written for “real world” purposes and audiences: to entertain, inform, explain, guide, document or convince. We can find authentic texts everywhere: movies, songs, newspapers, books, signs, food label, and various resources on the Internet.
