    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2021-02-22) Cevallos Calle, Jessica Daniela; Pauta Morocho, Sandra Katherine; Santillán Iñiguez, Juan José
    This research synthesis aims to discover the effects and perceptions that have been reported on the use of authentic materials in the EFL classroom. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria for this study, 21 empirical studies which used different instruments and occurred at different levels, were selected to be analyzed. The findings of this research show that the effects of the use of authentic materials in linguistic and non-linguistic skills are positive. In addition, the analyzed studies indicated that both teachers and students presented more positive than negative perceptions towards the use of authentic materials. The outcomes of this analysis can serve as future reference for teachers to include those materials in the EFL classroom.
