Summary/Abstract: Authentic documents have been intensively advocated as effective tools for foreign language education, and enthusiastically embraced by foreign language teachers. The present contribution reviews advantages and limits in using authentic documents in language classrooms, but also advocates for the creative use of such documents which also have artistic value, namely comic strips, photographs and films, audiobooks based on literary texts. A general introduction for each of these authentic documents is provided, as well as some didactical suggestions which may support language teachers in their attempts to create stimulating learning activities.
