Abstract. This article examines the importance of using authentic texts in college reading instruction. Teaching reading in a foreign language is designed to ensure receptive mastery of language material and develop the cognitive competence of students, since, on the one hand, this is a type of speech activity, and on the other, the basis for the formation of information and academic skills. Based on these skills, a person is able to navigate modern information flows. The use of authentic materials, which represent a natural speech work created for methodological purposes, will make it possible to more effectively teach all types of speech activity, in particular reading, and simulate immersion in a natural speech environment in foreign language classes.
