This study explores the perceptions of secondary school teachers about the use authentic material in Pakistani English language classrooms. For this quantitative study, data was collected through a survey questionnaire. The questionnaire was adapted from Yeung Ting-fai (2011) and was modified according to the needs of Pakistani educational system. A total of 40 Pakistani secondary school English language teachers responded to the survey questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to interpret the data. The results of the study show that most of the teachers liked using authentic material in their classes but were reluctant to do so because of the constraints created by curriculum, examination system and administrative pressures. The study recommends adapting the curriculum and examination systems to facilitate Pakistani secondary school teachers for using authentic material in English language classrooms.
