This article examines pedagogical and methodological strategies for overcoming difficulties encountered
when using authentic materials–newspaper and journal articles, audio and video recordings, podcasts, films, and online
resources–in English language teaching. The study draws on the theoretical frameworks of Communicative Language
Teaching (CLT) and Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT), as well as the scholarly contributions of Stephen Krashen,
Brian Tomlinson, William Guariento, and David Nunan. Core challenges, including lexical complexity, cultural context
barriers, listening comprehension difficulties, and affective obstacles, are analyzed in depth. The article proposes effective
strategies such as scaffolding, graduated difficulty sequencing, intercultural competence development, and the integration
of digital technologies into the learning process. The findings have significant practical implications for teachers
working in Uzbek secondary and tertiary educational institutions
