Resumen

The implementation of authentic material in English instruction has been significant for fostering students' reading and listening skills, providing benefits for both teachers and students. Certainly, the selection of authentic materials in English language in some studies often present a challenge, particularly in ensuring that the chosen materials align with the needs and proficiency levels of the students. One common struggle is striking a balance between authenticity and complexity. Authentic material, such as real-world texts, can sometimes be linguistically demanding, posing a potential barrier for learners with lower proficiency levels. Researchers must carefully curate material that are authentic yet accessible, taking into account the linguistic complexity and cultural relevance. In this research, a sample of 30 7th grade students from the Colegio Público Solingalpa was taken, where a survey was applied to them and an interview with the teacher, in the same way, an observation guide and three diagnostic tests were carried out in order to collect data. As result, the data derived from employing the tools aligned with the research objective, identifying and implementing authentic material tailored to the students' needs and English proficiency level. This demonstrated a noticeable enhancement in their English listening and reading skills during the three cycles, applying the diagnostic tests and giving feedbacks. Teachers have the opportunity to integrate authentic material alongside traditional resources to aid in acquiring the target language developing more structured lessons and making the language learning more engaging and relevant, fostering a deeper connection between language and real-world communication
