         Technology is a collection of tools, including the engine, modifications, arrangements and procedures used by humans or as a tool to help smooth any person. The technology is often used is teknilogi Internet or network (website) are often on call google. Internet technologies most often or a lot of users instead of adults and teenagers only but the kids were able to use or operate Internet technology. Technology provides many benefits to its users. The advantage of using internet technology we are able to access any especially in education, especially for students who are looking for a task d many google. Not only have the advantage there must be disadvantages. The disadvantage of internet technology and more users access the Internet misuse in such negative terms.

             Although many Internet technologies disadvantages than advantages but for me the internet is a very useful technology and education bergunabagi especially for a teacher. I just realized after studying Teaching English Language Learners through Technology (often called EIT). Lessons EIT provides many technological knowledge, especially for a teacher. This lesson, I was taught how to create a blog and post them, who first signed up to google mail (gmail), open bloggers, bloggers we already open and enter al mat gmail we have registration. After I taught mngubah open profile picture, display, how to post and so on. The influence that I can from this lesson increasing knowledge and creativity in the field of internet technology. I think the internet technology is often used for social networks like facebook, but only Internet technology as a very modern teaching media and facilitate the delivery of materials or lessons to students. So, Internet technology as a medium in a very modern teaching and as a novice teacher, we should have to be inovative and creative in teaching with technology media internet                                                                                                                                  

            The definitions of authentic materials are slightly different in literature. What is common in these definitions is 'exposure to real language and its use in its own community'. Rogers (1988) defines it as 'appropriate' and 'quality' in terms of goals, objectives, learner needs and interest and 'natural' in terms of real life and meaningful communication (p. 467). Harmer (1991), cited in Matsuta (n.d., para. 1) defines authentic texts as materials which are designed for native speakers; they are real text; designed not for language students, but for the speakers of the language. Jordan (1997, p. 113) refers to authentic texts as texts that are not written for language teaching purposes. Authentic materials is significant since it increases students' motivation for learning, makes the learner be exposed to the 'real' language as discussed by Guariento & Morley (2001, p. 347). The main advantages of using authentic materials are (Philips and Shettlesworth 1978; Clarke 1989; Peacock 1997, cited in Richards, 2001):

·         They have a positive effect on learner motivation.

·         They provide authentic cultural information.

·         They provide exposure to real language.

·         They relate more closely to learners ' needs.

·         They support a more creative approach to teaching.

          Authentic materials are even more relevant for students who have the aim of going to the country itself. If they are to function in the foreign society they will have to get accustomed to all the trivial reading items that they will encounter every day. So if the students actually need to be able to communicate and interact socially in the target language environment, authentic materials seem an essential preparation for their task. Being able to cope with an English train timetable, to tell if they have the right ticket, to know which notices are important and addressed to them and which are not, all these are vital to their communicative purpose.

          There are some advantages and disadvantages to use authentic materials in TEFL. Richards (2001, p. 253) points out that alongside with these disadvantages, authentic materials often contain difficult language, unneeded vocabulary items and complex language structures, which causes a burden for the teacher in lower-level classes. Martinez (2002) mentions that authentic materials may be too culturally biased and too many structures are mixed, causing lower levels have a hard time decoding the texts.

          Authentic materials provide the following benefits:

           There are many ways to find authentic material and you don’t have to search far to find it. Here are a few examples of original native material that can be used in the classroom: newspapers, literature, video, TV, surveys, guest speakers, cultural quizzes / tests, role plays / dramatizations, songs, anecdotes, travel brochures, menus, catalogues, real estate pamphlets, phone books, CDs, the Internet, illustrations and so on.

            The  use authentic material effectively in the classroom. According Guariento & Morley (2001) claim that at post-intermediate level, the use of authentic materials is available for use in classroom. This might be attributed to the fact that at this level, most students master a wide range of vocabulary in the target language and all of the structures. They also note that at lower levels, the use of authentic materials may cause students to feel de-motivated and frustrated since they lack many lexical items and structures used in the target language. Matsuata (n.d.) states that the use of authentic materials is a burden for the instructors teaching beginning students as they have to spend a lot of time to prepare for authentic materials regarding the ability level of the students.

               According to the findings of the survey carried out by Chavez (1998), learners enjoy dealing with authentic materials since they enable them to interact with the real language and its use. Also they do not consider authentic situations or materials innately difficult. However, learners state that they need pedagogical support especially in listening situations and when reading literary texts such as the provision of a full range of cues (auditory and visual including written language)

               There are some use authentic material effectively in the classroom

1. Use recent material that is not dated

2. Choose material that you can find several copies of

3. Choose relatively short/concise material

4. Laminate or choose material that will be able to withstand over time

5. Choose material that is appropriate for the age level

6. Questions/exercises to accompany the activity

7. Have students work in groups

8. Introduce authentic material to the class

                 In brief, authentic materials designed for the needs of learners to interact with the real target language or languages. Learning by using authentic materials can provide benefits to learners. Learners are motivated to study harder, and teachers will be creative in teaching the use of a foreign language to students
