This article discusses the types of audiovisual authentic materials and using them in teaching English. The popularity of English around the world is increasing, including in Uzbekistan. As a result, the demand for learning this language is on the ascendant as a means of communication. Unfortunately, there is a lack of information about teaching pupils with the help of audiovisual aids in our education system. Developing the usage of authentic materials in the class can be an effective way to motivate pupils and it encourages pupils’ interaction during English classes. Audiovisual authentic materials are considered useful tools in teaching English in EFL countries. For this reason, foreign language teachers should pay more attention to authentic materials in their teaching process in order to improve pupils’ communicative competence. Besides that, by establishing teaching English in the EFL classrooms, the types and examples of audiovisual authentic material also evolved due to the teachers’ teaching style and capability. This paper emphasizes the forms of audiovisual authentic materials and how they assist teachers in their teaching process. Also this paper gives some perceptions and hints both to the teachers and learners of English on how to improve their teaching and learning skills by using audiovisual authentic materials in the English classroom.
