How can online authentic materials improve English meeting skills

Online authentic materials can significantly improve English meeting skills by providing learners with real-life, context-rich language input that enhances listening comprehension, speaking fluency, and communication confidence. These materials, such as TED Talks, podcasts, videos, and online articles, expose learners to varied accents, professional vocabulary, and natural conversational flow, which prepares them better for real meetings. They also motivate learners by aligning with their interests and offering updated, culturally relevant content that can be directly applied to meeting scenarios.

Specifically, authentic online content helps learners practice active listening and comprehension, improves their ability to understand and participate in discussions, and boosts confidence through exposure to natural language use and interactive formats that simulate real meetings. Additionally, the integration of such materials supports the development of communicative competence, including the skills of speaking, responding, and negotiating in English during meetings.

Using online authentic materials in English learning for meetings also facilitates engagement and autonomy, encouraging learners to interact with materials repeatedly and practice skills in diverse, meaningful contexts, which is essential for mastering the language used in professional environments. ^{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
