What are the disadvantages of Authentic material mentioned by Gardener and Miller (1999)?

• Authentic materials may be too culturally biased or too difficult to understand outside the language community

• Authentic materials do not keep students informed about what is happening in the world, so they do not have an intrinsic educational value.

• Authentic materials may contain items, particularly vocabulary, which are of low frequency and of peripheral use to the learner and may never be encountered again
