Özet
The aim of this study is to explore whether newspaper articles can be used as speaking materials in foreign language courses as they include most authentic language patterns. A quasi-experimental study has been carried out at Vocational School of Tourism and Hotel Services in Erzincan University. Thirty-eight preparatory students took part in the study. Speaking courses were designed to include newspaper articles. The study provided evidence to prove the hypothesis: 'Language should be taught by original materials and spoken language is best acquired when it is obtained from authentic sources' (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
