 Realia refers to everyday objects like photographs, menus, brochures,
receipts, maps, movies, television shows, commercials, etc.

which are used in the classroom, for example, in language classes, to
teach vocabulary or to serve as an instructional tool that aid language
acquisition and production.
 Itmakes vocabulary and language more meaningful and concrete to the
learners. It allows the language learners to see, hear, and in some cases
even touch the objects.

BE USED IN THE CLASSROOM

 Realia brings a welcome change in the class as in after completing a
writing or reading task.

directions in a foreign language, but with the guidance of someone who
speaks fluently and will help them get it right.
 Students will clearly understand the reason they are learning a particular
lesson component.
