This study investigates the effectiveness of authentic materials in developing speaking and writing skills among intermediate EFL learners. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from 60 tenth-grade students through performance assessments, classroom observations, and learner feedback over a six-week instructional period. The findings indicate significant improvements in speaking fluency, lexical diversity, writing coherence, and learner motivation, supporting the pedagogical value of authentic materials in EFL instruction.
