There are five pillars of education: the teacher, the taught, teaching materials, teaching methodologies, and testing procedures. These pillars are interdependent, and together, they serve the purpose of the education system. One of the pillars is the teaching materials, without it,the education system would collapse, so the focus of the present paper is on teaching materials, especially, authentic materials. In the beginning, it is discussed why teachers are highly dependent on textbooks,and how it is affecting the current education system.
