Realia refers to the objects associated with everyday life to be used in the classroom. Using realia in the language class means bringing real objects as teaching aids as it is a tangible teaching-learning aid which:

  • includes coin, newspaper, map, tickets, fruits, vegetables, etc.
  • makes learning more interesting by bringing the class to real-life.
  • ensures the use of accurate and realistic teaching-learning materials.
  • Encourages classroom interaction and helps in meeting individual differences.

Key Points

  • Realia has also been included as part of CLT (communicative language technique), i.e. posters, advertisements, maps, train schedules, graphs.
  • The tasks set have a specific communicative purpose and train the learners to be fluent as well as accurate, although CLT has tended to emphasize fluency over accuracy. 

Hence, we conclude that using ‘realia’ in the language class means bringing real objects as teaching aids.
