What does REALIA mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
Real objects and materials from everyday life, used as teaching aids to make a subject more concrete.
In language and history teaching, realia are actual items brought into the classroom instead of just described or pictured, such as foreign coins, tickets, packaging or tools that let students handle something genuine rather than a textbook illustration. Museums and teacher-training courses use the same word for objects chosen to represent a period or culture as directly as possible. A closely related legal sense narrows realia to real, tangible things as opposed to intangible rights or documents. In every use the point of realia is the same: they are physical and concrete, not abstract or invented for the lesson.
