1. Introduction

The authentic materials are very important and effective in enhancing oral communicative competence which is the main objective of language learning. Nunan in his book Language Teaching Methodology states that success of mastering language is measured in terms of the ability to carry out a conversation in the target language. It implies that speaking is an indicator of mastering the language which is considered to be as an achievement in acquiring second language. Learners who reached this level in developing skills in their native language are likely to have fewer problems in acquiring those skills in other languages, i.e. in second language learning. Teachers accomplish different pedagogical approaches and different teaching methods like behaviouristic, cognitive, and communicative related activities according to the needs of the specific groups of the learners. The activities encourage students to use and access to authentic materials such as cable TV, Satellite TV, radio, newspaper clippings, magazines that provide them exposure to the use of authentic language to develop oral communicative competence and higher order thinking skills of the learners.
