"Authentic corpus" refers to language materials from real communicative scenarios that are not adapted for teaching purposes, such as films and TV shows, podcasts, and news.
In second language acquisition research, authentic corpus is considered able to provide richer vocabulary, sentence patterns, and pragmatic information, helping learners encounter natural speech rates, accent variation, and cultural context.
Authentic corpus has problems such as uncontrollable difficulty and dense unfamiliar words, so it often needs to be used with supporting tools (such as subtitles, annotations, and leveling).
