Abstract
Communicative approach towards language teaching has changed the conventional teacher centered perceptions and attitudes. It has placed the learner at the center of the language teaching process and all other parameters of the process that include teachers, methodology, curriculum, and teaching materials have to align to the needs of the learners. This paper explores the importance of language teaching materials and their relationship with learners where the taught language is not their native language but is a second language: how these can help the learners to become autonomous and make a case for using authentic materials in language teaching classroom at Intermediate level in Pakistan.
