摘要尽管在外语课堂上提倡使用真实的语篇已经成为一种趋势，但是关于确定语篇真实性的标准还没有达成共识。 相反，研究人员经常提供不同的，有时相互矛盾的定义，什么构成了真实的材料。
本文借鉴语篇分析的研究成果，试图通过文本类型的真实性来确定文本的真实性，并为课堂教学提供启示。文本可以被认为是口语或书面口头单元，并且文本类型可以被描述为特定类型的口语或书面单元。因此，例如，教科书作者为了教授特定结构而编写的文本类型“教科书对话”可能不能被定义为“真实对话”，在这种文本类型中，母语使用者为了教授他们的语言之外的目的而说话。此外，从最真实到最不真实的会话文本类型的排名提供了一个衡量标准，以判断课堂上使用的材料的价值。
ABSTRACT Although there is a trend to advocate the use of authentic texts in the foreign language classroom, a consensus regarding the criteria determining textual authenticity has not been reached. Instead, researchers often provide varying, sometimes conflicting definitions as to what comprise authentic materials.
This paper draws on research in discourse analysis in an attempt to determine text authenticity through text type authenticity and provide implications for classroom materials. A text may be considered a spoken or written verbal unit, and a text type may be described as a specific type of spoken or written unit. Thus, for example, the text type “textbook conversation,” written by textbook authors for the purpose of teaching specific structures, can probably not be defined as the text type “authentic conversation,” in which native speakers engage in speaking for purposes other than to teach their language. In addition a ranking of types of conversational texts, from most to least authentic, provides a scale by which to judge the value of materials used in the classroom.
