Abstract

The newspaper is the most widely and consistantly read piece of literature published today. As such, it is not only a valid language-learning tool offering up-to-date information on a variety of topics, it is also a wonderful source of authentic text. Yet. it continues to be underused in LSL classrooms and is being overlooked as meaningful and stimulating material for classroom activities. This paper will promote the use of the newspaper for ESL instruction, and suggest a variety of newspaper activities that challenge, motivate and involve learners.
