Sažetak
In ESP (English for Specific Purposes) classrooms, learners can be exposed to both non-authentic, i.e. adapted, and authentic texts. Choosing to introduce materials through the ICT method can also add to their authenticity since learners are often exposed to authentic materials via computers and mobile devices. In our study, we aimed to investigate the effects of technology and authenticity of teaching materials on student motivation and reading comprehension. By manipulating levels of authenticity (non-authentic vs. authentic materials) we discovered greater comprehension was achieved with learners exposed to non- authentic texts through ICT whereas motivation in learners is still better achieved with authentic texts and ICT. Our pre-test motivational survey points to a strong correlation between authenticity and ICT and student motivation although better comprehension is still achieved through the use of classroom-adapted materials.
