«Молодой учёный» . № 8 (112) . Апрель, 2016 г. Педагогика a variety of language work and communication activities. Realia also make learning process more enjoyable. Realia is a term for any real, concrete object used in the classroom to create connections with vocabulary words, stimulate conversation, and build background knowledge. Realia gives students the opportunity to use all of their sense to learn about a given subject, and it is appropriate for any grade or skill level. When the real object is not available or impractical, teacher can use models or semi-concrete ob- jects, such as photograph, illustrations, and artwork. Based on the explanation above, the writer concluded that Realia is one of media in teaching learning process, it is a real thing that can see, hear or touch directly. It makes students more interesting and easy to understand the lesson. [3] Realia, authentic documents, and mass media are living daily proof of the value of language. Their authenticity, spe- cialized vocabulary, reinforced grammatical structures, and topics of interest can help encourage interest in the target language and culture. They contain current language on all imaginable topics, and are not artificial or contrived. One of the most compelling reasons for using them is the teacher»s involvement in selecting and adapting materials for class- room use. Mass media can help to dispel stereotypes. Realia such as maps and schedules often contain a minimum of lan- guage and reduce potential frustration: other kinds of Realia lend themselves well to demonstration. Educators differ on whether the materials should be used in their original in an adapted form. The instructor can prepare written materials to accompany the Realia, and can easily prepare audiovi- sual aids with it. One of the key advantages in using Realia is its direct link to culture, allowing attention to subtle and not-so-subtle differences between the target culture and our own. Newspapers, magazines, movie aids, mail-order cata- logs, television commercials, the Yellow Pages, and souve- nirs and other printed materials gathered in travel abroad or requested from other sources are examples of useful Realia. Realia refer to real objects. Indeed authentic materials such as newspapers, magazines, catalogs, timetables, films designed for use in real life situations not for use as instruc- tional tools. Realia and other authentic materials, including non-print mass media provide with range of printed and spoken messages that can be used as primary or secondary material in a foreign language classroom) Realia is actual objects and items which are brought into the classroom as examples or as aids to be talked or written about and used in teaching. [4] Based on the definition above we can say that Realia is one of visual authentic material which can be touched and seen to serve to facilitate for teaching to understand real life situations. Bringing Realia into English lessons is great ice- breaker and serves as a useful tool to prompt conversation. It also takes some of the attention and pressure off you by concentrating the students» mind on the object and word in question. Many students have had bad experiences learning Eng- lish at school, often remember their English lessons as being dull and repetitive. Using Realia and other visual aids will generate interest and help create an atmosphere conductive to learning. To bring real life into the classroom we may teach a subject with flashcards or picture. However, if we bring realia students will be surprised and thrilled and will never forget this lesson. This is what the use of realia in the classroom is all about: the use of real life objects that students can touch, feel, and even smell to effectively teach ESL components.. [1] Using Realia in the ESP classroom serves to foster a more creative and active teaching-learning environment and promotes cul- tural understanding. Realia refers to the practice of using real, tangible things in the classroom to help our students connect with English on a different level. It involves visual, tactile and functional methods for teaching ideas, concepts, vocabulary or grammar. There are many ways to use Realia in teaching learning. In education, Realia include objects used by teacher to improve students» understanding of other cultures and real life situations. A teacher of a foreign language often employs Realia to strengthen students» associations between words for everyday objects and the objects themselves. There are many ways to use Realia, because it is useful for any topic of English lesson, however teachers can improve their creativity in teaching their students using Realia. Actually, Realia is appropriate for any level of students, for beginner until advanced. This might be attributed to the fact that at this level, most students master a wide range of vocabulary in the target language and all of the structures. They also note that at lower levels, the use of authentic mate- rials may cause students to feel de-motivated and frustrated since they lack many lexical items and structures used in the target language. Matsuata (n. d.) states that the use of au- thentic materials is a burden for the instructors teaching be- ginning students as they have to spend a lot of time to pre- pare for authentic materials regarding the ability level of the students. [5] Do all these mean we are not able to use au- thentic materials in lower-level classes apart from post-inter- mediate and advanced levels? According to the findings of the survey carried out by Chavez (1998), learners enjoy dealing with authentic ma- terials since they enable them to interact with the real lan- guage and its use. Also they do not consider authentic situ- ations or materials innately difficult. However, learners state that they need pedagogical support especially in listening sit- uations and when reading literary texts such as the provision of a full range of cues (auditory and visual including written language). There were many teachers have used Realia in teaching learning process. Here some examples the use of Realia in the classroom: 1) to illustrate and teach young learners vocabulary for animals, clothing, and fruit for example, using actual objects or facsimiles there of (pieces of clothing, toy animals, and plastic fruit). For transition period, it»s a very useful tool in making the abstract concrete. 2) bring in a number of objects from everyday life, such as fruit, utensils or articles of clothing.
