ABSTRACT
This research was carried out in order to determine in what ways Realia contributes to
teaching English language at high school level. Opinions of the teachers on the issue of Realia
will be collected and be analyzed if realia is effective technique with respect to existing
techniques. The research shows Realia as an effective technique that can be applied when
teaching newly presented vocabulary or other language skills. It is, therefore, necessary for
teachers to consider Realia when teaching since it offers a comprehensible input to high school
students, and at the same time it is an effective mechanical tool to teach with the use of realia.
For the long period of time different kinds of audio-video aids are being used
advantageously, for teaching purposes. Realia is one of them. Description presents the
appearance of an object, a place, or a person. It ows its experiencs to the observation of
something concrete. A grown up learner has enough memory to retain his observation and also
he has a storing imagination power to visualize his imaginary observtion before writing a
description. But he can not deal easilywith abstract concepts.realia, on other hand will provide
him with concrete experience. Although it has certain limitations, yet teaching with realia is the
most natural way of teaching.
Though it is true that certain objects cannot be brought into the classroom or they even do
not exist, but we can use it, whenever the concerning object is available and possible to use.
secondary school is a stage , where a student enters in youth. This is the most crucial and
dynamic stage of life. The basic perception and modes of behavior start talking shape and
problems of medication with the new roles in life assume decisive significance. Secondary
education is of vital importance in any system of education. The position of secondary education
in a society all over the world is generally paradoxical. It is expected to play a transitional and
dynamic and interpretive role between primary education and higher education, as well to play a
terminal role by providing necessary manpower for enhancing and promoting the developing of
the area and country, it is the stage when boys and girls are experiencing the most demanding
experience of their lives both physically and emotionally , the output of the secondary schools
primarilly comprises those who want to enter in life by availing in future employment
opportunities (Banny, 1990). Secondary school education provides direction and dimension
towards future career. The students need more variety and awareness of different aspects of
education at secondary level in order to determine their future life.
The researcher decided to work on use of realia in a secondary level language class for
the teaching of a foreign language. Because, Pakistan is a multilingual country. Urdu is its
national language. But English is medium of instruction. And most of the institutions use it as
medium of instruction. It is the language of science and technology. So students must learn
English and be able use it for the purposes of their fields. There are many problems for the
teachers and students of a foreign language learner and instructor. But the researcher picked up
the topic of teaching vocabulary at secondary level. The basic objectives of my study are given
as following.
The objectives of study
1. To explore that if vocabulary teaching and learning is really a problem for both teachers
and students.
2. To find out the effectiveness or realia for the teaching of vocabulary at secondary level.
3. To explore the reality whether the use of realia helps to increase the iterest of students for
the teaching of vocabulary.
4. To get information that whether Urdu medium teachers facing more difficulties in
teaching English language than English medium teachers.
5. To assess that if five senses may play a role for the teaching of a foreign language or not.
6. To find out that if realia may relate classroom to outer world.
Population
The population of the study consists of all secondary school teachers of District Vehari.
Sample
The researcher will select 100 teachers randomly for the purpose of collecting data of the present
study.
Researchinstrument
The most well-known, questionnaire will be used as research instrument to collect the
data, however the researcher will attempt to modify some of the items include in this study with
the help of supervisor.
Data collection
Essential data collection is most suitable for this kind of descriptive survey study. The essential
data will be collected from secondary school teachers. Survey data are collected by asking
members of a population. The researcher will personally visit the schools and collect data from
the respondents. The data will be in quantitative form.
Data analysis
The data will be tabulated, analyzed and interpreted category-wise. The data will be analyzed by
using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and appropriate statistical technique will be
applied.
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
In education realia are objects from real life used in classroom instruction by educators 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 themselves. In many cases, these objects are part of an instructional kit which includes a
manual and is thus considered as being part of a documentary whole by librarian. Realia are also
used to connect learners with the key focal point of a lesson by allowing tactile and
multidimensional connection between learned material and the object of the lesson. They are best
utilized for simple objects lending themselves to classroom settings and ease of control with
minimum risk of accident throughout the student object interaction.
For many years philosophers and experts in education had the belief that the teaching of
vocabulary was based only on the study of grammatical structures and rules rather than the
acquisition of new lexical items. Clearly, vocabulary learning was omitted and suppressed by
predominant and out-of-date approaches, which were influenced by grammar and translation
procedures solely.
Regardless the fact that the teaching of vocabulary can seem a very daunting process
especially when talking about a foreign language , many linguists and methodologists have
attempted to give emphasis on how it should be taught and learned. The main reason of the latter
is that the ways in which words are presented by the teacher, could have a great impact on
students’ motivation to learn a foreign language. Evidently, these days, the real concern has to do
more with the function of a language and its practical and everyday use for communication. In
other words, the techniques used to present vocabulary should contribute to make learning more
enduring and long-lasting. Along with that, no word should be taught isolated, but in a context
Where students can understand the real use of the word and make connections with other words
belonging to the same group or inserted in the same situation.
Essentially, the context and frequency of words in a language is what teachers should
consider at the time they present a new word or group of words.
1.1. EFL IN PAKISTANI CLASSROOMS
English language teaching situation is no more satisfactory in Pakistan. In Thailand, English
language is taught mainly by Thai native teachers and English appears to be taught through the
Thai language as the medium of instructions. The lessons are limited to grammatical points and
comprehension reading which require heavy explanations in Thai. The same situation is in
Pakistan. Moreover, many language teachers have been used to the traditional style of language
teaching since the time they themselves were school students and found it too difficult to change.
Due to the fact that the students only study English to pass examinations, they are not well-
motivated and are deprived of the opportunities to practice English in real life situations. They
are not able to communicate effectively in English due to numerous factors. It is taught as
Literature oriented subject. And mostly its linguistic aspects are ignored. Examinations are
designed not to assess linguistics ability of students but to assess their memory status of few
Specific essays, stories, letters and other contents of already prepared books. And they are
awarded marks, divisions and grades on their memory status not on their linguistic ability.
Teachers mostly focus on to teach literature, grammar and parts of speech while comprehension
and practice of language is ignored. They always force students to mug up some specific essays
and translation of paragraphs and other contents. So students rely on helping books and text
books and never try to attempt some creative work. So students always prepare for exams and
never learn language for future use. So standard of language remains always unsatisfactory.
Another notable thing is that student’s vocabulary level is very weak. This situation is noted by
researcher even at secondary level. So researcher’s whole focus will be on the improvement of
vocabulary with the use of realia. And research will be made about the effectiveness of use of
realia in teaching of vocabulary at secondary level.
1.2. RELIA IN AN EFL/ESLCLASSROOM
The use of realia is a commonplace in the EFL/ESL classroom and is widely considered
to have great value in fostering an active teaching-learning environment. By presenting
information through diverse media, realia helps to make English language input as
comprehensive possible and to build “ an associative bridge between the classroom and world”
(Heaton, 1979). As Berwald (1987) notes, realia “are not only a series of artifacts that describe
the customs and traditions of culture, but they are also a set of teaching aids that facilitates the
simulation of experience in the target culture”. Realia provides language learners with multi-
sensory impression of the language which, as Rivers (1983) notes is “learned partly at least
through seeing, hearing, touching, and manipulating” items. And interaction with authentic
materials aids in contextually grounding instruction by bringing students into contact with
language as it is used in the target culture in order to meet actual communication needs. The use
of realia, then, can enhance linguistic and cultural comprehensibility, which are both
prerequisites for real language learning.
1.3. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Relaia kits for the learning provide students with life like replicas of everyday items ideal
for teaching various languages and life like competencies. Abstract concepts come to life as
students participate in “hands-on” activities by using Realia. Each kit had been designed to target
a specific life skill competency for all language levels. Items in the kits have been carefully
selected to provide a variety of activities and are durable for lengthy classroom handling. All kits
come with easy to carry tote bags and suggested activities for instruction. This research will be
conducted to assess the effectiveness of use of realia for the teaching of vocabulary at secondary
level.
1.4. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

teachers of secondary classes will be participated
CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
2. ACQUIRING OF A LANGUAGE
Human being is the only animal who can speak and is able to convey information with
use of tongue, while other animals make use of their tongue in limited way. Process of learning
of language starts as for as child grows more than six months of his age. In accordance with
Lewis (2007), “learning” is the “cognitive process of acquiring skill or knowledge”. Under
this statement, learning is alleged as the action of gaining information not only from the
classroom realm, but also from practical events in everyday life. By doing this, the new
information becomes part of the way individuals think or behave.
Teachers are the ones who have the possibility to identify observable behaviors from
learners when teaching. This viewpoint is supported by Robert Gagne (1965), a well-known
American teacher, who held that conditions of learning are the various sets of observable
conditions that can be set up for learning to occur. Furthermore, Gagne distinguishes between
two types of conditions, “internal and external”. However, when talking about teaching, the
internal conditions are associated with learners’ own " states", in which attention, motivation and
recall are included.
According to Gagne, “learning is progressive, and in that it occurs progressively it does
so by way of a learning hierarchy”. As a progressive process, learning is developed steadily
through a series of states that can be arranged into different stages. In order to illustrate what has
been mentioned previously, Gagne proposed the phases of learning, which are presented as
follows:
• Phase I: Receiving the stimulus situation
• Phase II: Stage of acquisition
• Phase III: Storage
• Phase IV: Retrieval
From the list of phases shown above, it can be contingent that learning occurs starting
with the first reactions to the motivation, which is a response to something new. Being the
stimulus received primarily, individuals get the knowledge, skills, etc. from what has been
introduced. In order to make clear the concept of storage, Gains (1986) suggested that some
insights must be considered so as to get an understanding of how the learning process works:
“It seems that learning new items involve storing them first in our short-16 term memory,
and afterwards in long-term memory. First, retention in short-term memory is not effective if the
number of chunks of information exceeds seven. Therefore, this suggests that in a given class we
should not aim at teaching more than this number. However, our long-term memory can hold any
amount of information”. From the statement indicated formerly, the new skill or knowledge
should be put into practice, due to the fact that by doing this, the new information is incorporated
into the long-term memory, otherwise it may be lost. When learning is accomplished, learners
are capable of accessing information in memory.
Bearing in mind Piaget’s Stages of Development (1936), emerges the idea of
restructuring the teaching methodologies and techniques towards a teaching aimed at the method
something is taught rather than what is taught. This premise is supported by Piaget as the
cognitive development of human beings, in which individuals learn through memorable
experiences by interacting with the environment. The ways in which these experiences are
encountered or presented to the individuals are essential in their cognitive and learning process.
2.1. ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
When talking about foreign language learning, the Natural Approach was developed by
Krashen and Terrell (1983). They maintained that this approach emphasized “Comprehensible
Input”, and at the same time, it made a distinction between ‘acquisition’ and ‘learning’. Being
the former regarded as “a natural subconscious process and the latter a conscious process”. On
top of that, these theorists argued that the language learning process could not result in
acquisition. The Natural approach whose basis was on meaning, not form, emphasizes the idea
that the more visualization and recreational activities are applied in the language classroom, the
better learners acquire a foreign language on the basis of a natural evolution.
Due to the fact that the students only study English to pass examinations, they are not
well-motivated and are deprived of the opportunities to practice English in real life situations.
They are not able to communicate effectively in English due to numerous factors.
2.2. AUDIO VISUAL AIDS
Audio visual is the term made up of two words audio means related to sounds and visuals
are related to watchable things. Any material other than printed books used for educational
purposes are considered audio visual aids. Many experts defined it in their own ways.
Visual aids are used to increase the effectiveness of classroom teaching-learning process
(Joshi, 1995). Three reports by George; Sheth; and Sonar (all cited in Vissa, 1994) reported that
the use of audio-visual aids enhances learning. From the survey of Bharadwaj (cited in Vissa,
1994), it was clear that the availability of teaching aids is a pre-requisite for their use in teaching.
In a study by Vissa (1994), it was found that the use of visual aids helped better teaching; and a
variety of teaching aids brought about stimulus variation that is essential to sustain students'
attention.
Different experts define audio visual aids in different ways. Some of them are given as
for example. Kinder S. James narrates Audio visual aids are any device which can be used to
make the learning experience more concrete, more realistic and more dynamic. Burton explains
audio visual aids are those sensory objects or images which initiate or stimulate and reinforce
learning. Carter.v.Good says that audio visual aids are those aids which help in completing the
triangular process of learning that is motivation, classification and stimulation. Good’s dictionary
of education defines that audio visual aids are anything by means of which learning process may
be encouraged or carried on through the sense of hearing or sense of sight. Edger Dale: audio
visual aids are those devices by the use of which communication of ideas between persons and
groups in various teaching and training situations is helped. These are also termed as multi
sensory materials.
McKean and Roberts says that audio visual aids are supplementary devices by which the
teacher, through the utilization of more than one sensory channel is able to clarify, establish and
correlate concepts, interpretations and appreciations. KP. Neeraja says that an audio visual aid is
an instructional device in which the message can be heard as well as seen.
But brief definition of Audio visual aids is present in the Anna Curtis chalinder, Ej D and
Irene F cipher’s book AUDIO VISUAL TECHNIQUES FOR THE ENRICHMENT OF
CURRICULUM. The authors' conception of audio-visual enrichment is not a narrow-minded
attitude, but "entails a grasp of the inter- relationship of various areas in the curriculum and the
care- full selection of these aids which are so potent in enriching them.
2.3. THE TEXTBOOKS
Text books are not good source of visual aids. Because it contains limited information
about the subject. Penny Ur (1996: 184-5) gives some reasons for and against the use of a
textbook. In favor of using a textbook she mentions the sense of structure and progress, its use as
a syllabus, its being ready-made, its price (which sometimes is not so reasonable or affordable),
its convenience as a package, its guidance help for teachers and that it gives the learner some
degree of autonomy. Against using a textbook, she mentions its homogeneity and inadequacy for
individual needs and objectives, its irrelevance and lack of interest in many occasions, its
limitation of initiative and creativity, its homogeneity and its over-easiness.
2.4. HUMAN BEING’S SENSORY SYSTEM
Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC) is credited with the traditional classification of the five sense
organs: sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. As far back as the 1760's, the famous philosopher
Immanuel Kant proposed that our knowledge of the outside world depends on our modes of
perception. In order to define what is "extrasensory" we need to define what is "sensory". Each
of the 5 senses consists of organs with specialized cellular structures that have receptors for
specific stimuli. These cells have links to the nervous system and thus to the brain. Sensing is
done at primitive levels in the cells and integrated into sensations in the nervous system. Sight is
probably the most developed sense in humans, followed closely by hearing.
Senses are physiological capacities of organisms that provide data for perception. As
Punta Arenas suggests “The senses and their operation, classification, and theory are overlapping
topics studied by a variety of fields, most notably neuroscience, cognitive
psychology (or cognitive science)”. The nervous system has a specific sensory system or organ,
dedicated to each sense.
Humans have a multitude of senses. Sight (ophthalmoception), hearing (audioception),
taste (gustaoception), smell (olfacoception or olfacception), and touch (tactioception) are the five
traditionally recognized. While the ability to detect other stimuli beyond those governed by the
traditional senses exists, including temperature (thermoception), kinesthetic sense
(proprioception), pain (nociception), balance (equilibrioception), and various internal stimuli
(e.g. the different chemoreceptors for detecting salt and carbon dioxide concentrations in the
blood), only a small number of these can safely be classified as separate senses in and of
themselves. What constitutes a sense is a matter of some debate, leading to difficulties in
defining what exactly a sense is.
These senses have been divided into two types functionally.
1. Mechanical sensory organs
2. Chemical sensory organs
First three senses are mechanical functionally and two others are chemical ones. These
senses are directly connected with mind and information is transported through ions (sodium
ions, calcium ions) which occur in neurons. Sight is connected with eyes. This is the most
powerful and important part of body. Most of learning and acquisition depends on sight. Ears are
the organ which is used to hear the sounds. This is another organ which receives information
related to sounds. Most of information is received through ears after sight. Touch is another way
to receive information from outside environment. The most part of this organ lies in skin. The
example is that when we test if something is hard or soft we feel it by touching. Similarly
pressure and temperature stimulation is also on the part of touch.
Chemical sensory devices are taste and smell. When we want to know that whether
something is delicious or not we get this information by taste. Moreover the taste of different
things is known for information by tongue. Another chemical sense is smell. It is another source
of getting important information available in human body. This is found in nose. Someone may
feel that fragrance of flower is worth smelling and smell of decay of an animal is unpleasant to
mind.
This research may include use all these senses for teaching of English in an EFL
classroom.
2.5. REALIA
Nunan (1999) defines Realia as “objects and teaching props from the world outside
the classroom that are used for teaching and learning”. Under this statement, realia is
considered as real objects, which are used to aid in practicing a new language, as a way to
present meaningful examples from the real world. Along with this idea, the British Council
site states that “realia refers to any real objects we use in the classroom to bring the class to
life.
Richards and Platt (1998) regards realia as “actual objects and items which are
brought into a classroom as examples or as aids to be talked or written about and used in
language teaching such as: articles of clothing, kitchen utensils, items of food, etc.” , while
Zukowsky and Faust (1997) contemplate it as “concrete objects and the paraphernalia of
everyday life” .
According to Wikipedia “In education, realia (pronunciation reel-ee-ah) are objects from
real life used in classroom instruction by educators 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.”
While Saima Abid (2007) narrates that realia are three dimensional things and other
things like flash cards, charts, and photos etc are two dimensional ones.
Examples of realia are models and mockups which are three dimensional things.
Realia materials offer a reality of experience, which are not easily obtained through other
materials and contribute to the efficiency, depth and variety of learning, which stimulate self-
activity on the part of pupils (Ibe-Bassey, 2000).
Realia are concrete objects and the paraphernalia of everyday life. (Zukowski-Faust,
1997
2.6. REALIA AND HUMAN SENSORY SYSTEM
In language learning process human being depends on these five senses. As mobshom
(1997) indicates that “our sensory systems are like little scientists that generates hypothesis about
the world”. Sight will function when your eyes open and they take in what’s around you. Then it
is sent to your brain, therefore you are able to see. As you breathe, anything that is in the air that
you take in enters your nasal cavity: hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, dust, pollen, chemicals. You
don’t “smell” air or dust or pollen, but you can smell chemicals. The olfactory cells are
chemoreceptor’s, which means the olfactory cells have protein receptors that can detect subtle
differences in chemicals.
The senses of smell and taste work closely together. If you cannot smell something, you
cannot taste it, either. Taste buds on your tongue contain chemoreceptors that work in a similar
fashion to the chemoreceptors in the nasal cavity. However, the chemoreceptors in the nose will
detect any kind of smell, whereas there are four different types of taste buds, and each detects
different types of tastes: sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. The ear not only is the organ of hearing,
but it also is responsible for maintaining equilibrium — or balance. To maintain equilibrium, the
ear must detect movement. To hear, the ear must respond to mechanical stimulation by sound
waves. The skin contains general receptors. These receptors can detect touch, pain, pressure, and
temperature. Throughout your skin, you have all four of these receptors interspersed. Skin
receptors gain an impulse when activated, which is carried to the spinal cord and then to the
brain.
The best relationship is narrated by Stice(1987). He says that “students retains 10 percent
of what they read, 26 percent of what they hear, 30 percent of what they see and hear 70 percent
of what they say, and 90 percent of what they say as they do something”..
2.7. WHY REALIA SHOULD BE USED?
“You don't understand anything until you learn it more than one way”. Marvin Minsky ,
(1987).The main advantage of using realia objects into classroom is to make the learning
experience more memorable for the learner. They can also serve as a springboard for a
discussion of underlying cultural values , beliefs, and behavior as well as provide an often non-
lanuage-dependent means of introducing student to the lesson topoc (Short 1991). Further, there
is evidence that through the use of realia teachers may increase the number of student resposes
(Waltz, 1986) and, therefore, overall participation and iterest in learning activities.
To give a couple of simple examples, if you are going to teach vocabulary of fruit and
vegetables it can be much more affective for students if they can touch, smell and see the objects
at the same time as daring the new word. This would appeal to a wider range of learner styles
than a simple flashcard Picture if the piece of fruit of vegetable.(with very young learners,
classroom management can become trickier if you bring in real objects as excitement levels tend
to rise. Last time one of my students bit into an onion we were passing round. I am sure he hasn't
forgotten that class!)
By presenting information through diverse media, realia helps to make English language
input as comprehensible as possible and to build “an associative bridge between the classroom
and the world”(Heaten,1979). As Berwald (1987) notes, realia “are not only a series of artifacts
that describe the coxtoms and traditions of a culture, but they are also a set of teaching aids that
facilitates the simultation of experience in the target culture”. Realia provides language learners
with multisensory impressions of the language which, as Rivers (1983) notes is “learned partly
at least through seeing, hearing, touching, and manipulateing” items.
A second example would be if you are going to teach some functional language for
asking for the timetable for a train. You could use a fictitious timetable or you could use a real
one from the local train station, one from the Internet, of if you’re really organized, some you
brought back from your last trip to the Vehari. In this way you expose students to more language
than simply the times and destinations. They will see information’s about prices and discounts,
bank holidays etc.
2.8. COLLECTING REALIA KIT MATERIAL
Many children in today’s classrooms struggle with the English language. Some come
from homes where a foreign language is spoken; others simply have not developed a large
enough academic vocabulary to thrive in the classroom. In either case, many children are at risk
because of their limited English vocabularies. Realia—miniature objects that resemble their real-
world counterparts provide an excellent tool to help these children develop essential English
vocabulary. Realia enhance meaning and make vocabulary more concrete and, therefore, more
comprehensible. Primary Concepts grants teachers’ permission to project, print or copy the
reproducible pages from this Realia kit for classroom use only. Permission is limited to the
teacher for whom the eBook was purchased. One copy may be stored on a hard drive or retrieval
system, but no other part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by
any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise, without the prior
written consent of the publisher. Primary Concepts has been collecting miniature objects for use
in the classroom since 1984. At that time, its founders, Ruth Ingram and Ilsa Perse, mailed their
first catalog of treasures for the classroom under the name Concepts to Go. Over the years, the
Primary Concepts warehouse has grown to house over 5,000 objects. Teachers have learned to
depend on Primary Concepts to provide the most appealing, realistic miniatures for language
development, phonics concepts, and number work in both Spanish and English. Keeping supplies
of these small miniatures is no easy task, requiring the efforts of a full staff of specialists. We
feel it is worth the effort, however, to provide teachers with these highly motivating, hands-on
learning tools. When the company was in its first year of business, a teacher who saw our early
math activity, Count-a-Dog, said, “These dogs make children want to count!” Just as the dogs
motivate children to count, the thousands of other adorable objects (realia) make children want to
talk, read, and spell. Teachers use realia for a variety of oral language and vocabulary
development activities: sorting, acting out stories and songs, and so on. With this guidebook, we
have compiled our favorite language lessons for use with miniatures. If you are new to the
wonderful world of realia, this guidebook will offer our best tips for keeping your objects
organized and ready for use in your lessons. Once you see how rich your daily language lessons
become when you incorporate miniatures, you will wonder how you lived without them. You
may wish to purchase a collection of miniatures for language development from Primary
Concepts or begin collecting your own. Good places to look are party stores, toy stores; craft
supply stores, and fabric stores. Supplement the bought items with objects you can find around
the house, such as a rock or a stone, a piece of wood, a nail, a screw, a paper clip, a button, a
snap, and so on. The best objects are realistic and three-dimensional and they need to be safe for
classroom use (e.g., no sharp edges). Try to collect a variety of objects from these categories:
a. Animals
b. kitchen play sets
c. Dolls sports equipment
d. Doll clothing accessories tools
e. Doll house furniture toys
f. Foods
g. vehicles
For a few activities, you will want to have a set of objects—such as frogs, cats, dogs,
horses, snakes, or fish—in which each member of the set is slightly different. A set of fish, for
example, could have different colors, shapes, sizes, textures, or patterns. These sets are good for
language lessons in which children describe the differences among the individuals in the set.
Collecting realia can be a continuous pursuit. Once you have a basic collection, you may want to
keep looking for more obscure items that would be useful in your teaching.
2.9. COMPARISON OF REALIA AND AUDIO VISUAL AIDS
Audio visual aids are related to first two mechanical senses. When something is
introduced other than text books and that is watched e.g. film, flash cards, charts etc. or audio
cassettes and other audio aids are used to teach something than students use sight to watch and
ears to hear. These two things are said to be audio visual aids. They put students to use maximum
extent of sight and hearing. So audio visual aids is useful to teach language and helpful to both
teachers and students. Audio Visual AIDS are materials using sight or sound to present
informing. To use Audio/Visual Aids in teaching we have to bridge the gap between the different
types of learners by adding audio/visual aides to your teaching techniques. Implement 'show and
tell' sessions to promote student involvement. Provide audio/visual aides to demonstrate
mathematical concepts to students because this will help students learn to think of complicated
material in a practical way. Watch videos and movies that reinforce lesson plans. Invite guest
speakers to help students learn concepts.
Realia allows students to use their senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch) to connect
words with their meaning, thus making them more memorable. For young learners in particular
it's a very useful tool to make real in their mind what, at the beginning, might come across as
abstract. For example, as a teacher you can stand at the front of the class and explain the
word beetle to your class for ten minutes. The students will listen and then slowly being to
understand what you mean. Hopefully. Many will then translate it into their mother tongue and
write down the English and the translation in their exercise book.
2.10. USE OF REALIA IN EFL CLASS ROOM
Oxford R. L. held that teachers may balance their teaching methods, somehow structuring
the class so that all learning styles are at a time accommodated, so as to achieve effective foreign
language learning. Realia may be used to teach vocabulary in different ways. Paredes Oyarzo
(2008) gives a comparative chart which shows the activities of student teacher interaction in
classroom. “This comparative chart shows some of the most common techniques that can be
used with realia”. This chart involves interaction between student and teacher and material used
in such interaction.

2.11. TEACHING VOCABULARY BY USING REALIA KIT
Without any doubt, in foreign language teaching learners and teachers are continually in
contact with vocabulary.
As stated by Hatch and Brown (1995), vocabulary is defined as “the list of words that
speakers of a particular language use”. This means that the use of vocabulary plays a
predominant role in or to make communication successful no matter what language is being
referred to. Whether you are a teacher or a student, the images in the realia project can serve as
an excellent resource. Within you will find digitized realia, pictures of everyday items and
situations familiar to a given culture, that can enhance the teaching and learning experience at all
language levels, in culture courses or in preparation for travel abroad. Brown (2001: 143) writes
that “realia are probably the oldest form of classroom aid, but their effectiveness in helping
students connect language to reality cannot be underestimated.” Salaberri (1995) highlights
the value of realia to teach vocabulary or as prompts in oral or written interactions and she
suggests some activities to do with realia: follow instructions, guess the objects, classify
objects, “odd one out” or “find someone who”. Many types of activities can be designed around
or enhanced by images. The suggestions below can serve as a facilitator for a variety of activities
be they instructor-led, student driven or extracurricular. Many can be done orally or as written
assignments.
2.10.1.IDENTIFICATION
Describe the objects, persons, places, and actions depicted in the photograph. What colors
and spatial relations are evident?
2.10.2. ELABORATION
What questions do the photos encourage you to ask? Do the photos relate to historical or
current events? To cultural or social issues.
2.10.3.CONTEXTUALIZATION
Focus on comparisons of places through time, especially photos of objects or buildings of
historical significance, e.g., a photo of the Dehli Gate Multan for a discussion of old and new
Multan or the Cold War. Even a photo of a more common object such as a candy wrapper or
cereal box can demonstrate that every culture is in flux.
2.10.4. COMPARISON
Use our Compare Viewer in the “My Favorites” sections to illustrate a pair of photos.
Devise descriptions or comparisons that go beyond those included with the photos. What new
dimensions could you add?
2.10.5.CULTURAL COMPETENCE
Use images to dismiss stereotypes and to balance the images available in traditional
textbooks. Increase knowledge with the look and feel of a region, so promoting more informed
cultural talent. Spark enthusiasm among students to experience first-hand the culture(s) they are
studying.
CHAPTER 3
STUDY
3.1REAIA AS A SUBJECT OF STUDY
At the beginning of the research, bibliography was needed in order to develop general
understanding of the topic. Primarily the search was focused on finding a research in which
realia has been subjected to study so as to verify its effectiveness. During my search I found the
research of Miss Saima Abid (2007) . This study was similar to present study as major tool
A questionnaire was developed for the collection of raw data. The main characteristics of this
study are as under.
Teachers of secondary school were selected from district Vehari and were chosen to
perform this study. As this study was conducted to know the effectiveness of realia for the
teaching of vocabulary. The level was secondary. As in our rural and urban areas the problems
are different for the teachers. So teachers were selected from both such areas. The research of
Miss Saima Abid was carried out in Rawalpindi the civilized and better educated area of
Pakistan. While this study will be conducted in district Vehari. Which is relatively backward and
with fewer facilities. And teachers would be less facilitated during their training then earlier
research. The earlier research was conducted on primary school teachers while the present will
be on secondary school teachers.
Moreover another characteristic of the study is that female and male teachers from whole
district were participated. So that more better results would be achieved. All the teachers were
briefed about the subject so that they would have awareness of the topic and give their honest
and reliable response.
3.1. POPULATION
The population for this study will be all secondary school teachers of District Vehari.
There was no specification of govt. semi govt. or private schools. Every available teacher was
engaged in this study.
3.2. SAMPLE
Researcher selected 100 most experienced teachers for the study and collected data for
present study.
3.3.RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
The most well-known instrument, questionnaire will be used as research instrument to
collect the data, however researcher will attempt to modify some of the items include the studies
with the help of supervisor.
3.4. DATA COLLECTION
Essential data collection is most suitable for this kind of descriptive survey study. The
essential data will be collected from secondary school teachers of District Vehari. Survey data
are collected by asking members of a population. The researcher will personally visit the schools
and collect data from the respondents. The data will be in quantitative form.
3.5.DATAANALYSIS
The data will be analyses and interpreted category-wise. The data will be analyzed by
using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and appropriate statistical techniques will
be applied.
CHAPTER 4
RESULTS
4.1. REVIEW OF QUESTIONNAIRE
The researcher designed a questionnaire for collection of data. The questionnaire was for
the teachers of secondary school teachers.
The questionnaire consisted of two sections. The first section consists of general
information of teachers, about their education, experience and their professional qualification.
The second section was about main aim of the study. It was meant for the collection of
information about view and opinions of the responding teachers. This section consists of twenty
five questions. The questions were close ended. Only two options were to select. Yes and No.
The researcher distributed this questionnaire among 100 teachers of secondary schools. These
teachers were from three Tehsils of District Vehari. They were from rural and urban, private and
govt. schools to have better results. Two types of medium of instruction are lying in this locality,
English and Urdu. So researcher enjoyed both languages during his study.
The raw data is in the form of teacher’s response. Response for all of the categories is
grouped together and total numbers of responses for each category are counted. There percentage
is also calculated. This information is presented, first in tabulated form, then in graphical form
and is used finally, for the interpretation of the data.
Every question is analyzed in the following way.

Explanation:
Since there are two type of medium of instruction are lying in Pakistan Urdu and English.
So It was also necessary to know that whether you are teaching in English medium or Urdu
medium school. So 57% teachers responded that they were teaching at English medium schools
because most of govt. schools are English medium. While some private schools and semi govt.
schools are Urdu medium. 43% schools teachers were from Urdu medium schools. It is notable
that approximately both medium school teachers were equally included. So better results were

CHAPTER 5
5. SUMMARY
A teacher of a foreign language often employs realia to strengthen students association
between words for everyday objects and the objects themselves in many cases, these objects are
the part of an instructional kit which includes a manual and is thus considered as being part of a
documentary whole by librarians. Realia are also used to connect learners with the key focal
point of a lesson by allowing tactile and multidimensional connection between learned materail
and the object of the lesson. They are best utilized for simple objects lending themselves to
classroom setting and ease of control with minimum risk of accident throughout the student
object interaction.
Realizing the importance of realia in an EFL classroom the researcher decided to work on
this very hot issue that whether realia may play any role in teaching of vocabulary at secondary
level. The researcher designed a questionnaire and distributed it among very competent teachers
of his population of District Vehari. The researcher during his research visited these teachers and
briefed them about the topic. He also attended refresher courses and training courses conducted
by education department. Moreover workshops of B.Ed conducted by AIOU at Government
Model High School Tehsil Mailsi were also visited by researcher. Researcher noted that realia
was used in these training courses but the importance of realia is not highlighted,
This study is highly useful for the teachers who are teaching English in secondary schools
by traditional methods. Moreover this study is very informational for the new teachers who have
aims to be good and efficient teachers the results of this study would specially facilitate the
policy makes and planners in devising suitable strategies for the future plan of action, for getting
better quality of English speaking as the foundation of education system and enable the country
to stand side by side with the advanced countries of the world. As far as the significance of the
study is concerned, it would definitely invoke a spirit in the authorities running these schools to
work in much better way, hence improving especially the academic quality of the students
through this system of English speaking.
This study is completed now and its conclusions are as follows.
5.1. CONCLUSION
The task has successfully been completed. The problem was discussed in detail. Data was
collected and analyzed in order to justify the problem. When data was analyzed it was noted that
realia is helpful for the teaching of vocabulary. Moreover, the researcher has drawn certain other
conclusion also. From all above data collection and analysis the following findings have been
noted in following detail.
5.2. FINDINGS
1. Since there are many problems with the teachers of second language but vocabulary is very
serious problem. Teachers were seemed confused when it was questioned. Mostly students
always remain confused during their student life. So vocabulary teaching must be
revolutionalarized and the best strategies be like use of realia be adopted.
2. Another thing that was noted during the research was that student does not have ability to
describe a thing like football in their own words. It is the problem which is lying even in Urdu
medium schools. So realia will be helpful to solve this problem.
3. A noteworthy thing that was noted during research that realia is a good and effective
technique. And EFL classroom needs realia for the teaching of vocabulary. Almost all teachers
give their opinion that it would be easy to work effectively with realia.
4. Another thing that was noted that most of the teachers were very qualified. Most of the
teachers were M.A. While six M.Phil teachers were also working in different schools of Dist.
Vehari. But when it was asked that if they use realia, they give negative remarks. Which seems
lack of professionalism? Most of the teachers were even not familiar with term “realia”. The
researcher was shocked.
5. It is the need of the every school to build up a realia library. It will be useful for teachers. And
most of the problems with vocabulary teaching will be solved.
6. Realia is easy to handle, it was the answer of mostly teachers. While some told that it is not
possible. Some realia are too big and some are too small to overcome. But their models are
affordable.
7. Realia helps to make lessons interesting and long lasting.
8. Realia trips will be also helpful and informative for students if they are arranged. But few
teachers did not agree because they are time taking and costly.
9. Most of the teachers told that they have learnt about realia in their professional training
courses. But most of them were not naming these things as “realia”. Realia is already used in
most of private schools, some semi govt. schools. Govt. schools teachers are not using it
regularly. But some teachers use it.
10. Another noteworthy thing come forward that most of teachers accepted that realia enhances
learning capability of students and flourishes memory of students. Moreover it also stimulates
the mind of students to work better.
11. It was another fact that was noted realia may be better than audio visual aids. Because the
scope of audio visual aids is too much limited. And it is difficult to provide every school of the
district, while realia are very easily available and every teacher can provide it. Because most of
realia is available everywhere in the environment.
12. Realia inspires the students to use their five senses to learn something. So it is need of the
hour to use realia and it should be included in language teaching courses like sceince and
technology.
13. During the research the researcher visited refresher courses and training cousrses of primary
and secondary school teachers. Researcher was pleased that most of the trainer was using realia
but this practice was in very limited way. But in the class room this practice is not entertained
which is not reasonable.
14. Realia is essential part of science subjects of secondary level but it is disappointing that it is
given no importance in language courses.
15. Some teachers told interesting occasions of their long services in education department but
they told that their officers and executives did not seems to be pleased with their such activities
in the classroom.
16. Realia plays the role of bridge between classroom and outer world. Its usage in the
classroom gives the impression of a beautiful garden, a village, or a populated city. So realia
would be highly useful to teach in real life situation.
17. Heads of the department’s institutions are mostly older and orthodox persons. Their way of
thinking and approach is very weak. They are not active in school activities. They are mostly
promoted and seem not interested in modern approaches.
18. During the research, the researcher interacted with the students. Some were very active,
intelligent and highly genius, while some students were very weak. But realia appealed both type
of students.
19. The problems with vocabulary teaching are same whether you are teaching in English
medium schools or Urdu medium schools. The teachers of both medium seem to confused and
mostly their answers were same.
20. During the research researcher visited female schools. The female teachers were telling their
problems that it is not possible for them to visit girls to factories and fields. So realia should be in
concise form.
5.3. RECOMMENDATIONS
5.3.1. Recommendation for the teachers
Most of the teachers seem to be confused during the research. Firstly they should
improve their confidence level. They should be professional as most of the teachers accepted that
their department directed them to use realia. But in most of schools researcher did not noted the
practice of use of realia. They should pay more attention to their duties and responsibilities. They
should realize that they are the builders of nation.
Teachers should try to make their lesson more interesting and comprehensive. They
should inspire the learners by using proper audio visual aids. It is relevant to say that in the light
of the facts mentioned above, realia has not been given the importance it should have as an
effective technique. Indeed, realia cannot simply be regarded as one or more techniques, but it
should be recognized as a valid and efficacious means for the students to store the words easily
in their minds.
Language teaching will become interesting if realia is used. And if teachers want to make
their lessons better, more comprehensive and long lasting they should make use of realia. It is not
necessary that department should take interest for field trips, teachers may arrange such trips at
local places, factories, agricultural forms, dairy forms and shopping malls. Such small field trips
may be seasonal and off and on. The head of institution should also be interested for such trips.
The teachers who are recently entering in the field of teaching they should adopt realia as
an effective technique. it will be extremely fruit ful to them. Because it is the technique which
they can adopt at their own risk and students would help og them and they may help the teacher
in providing realia. In this way an environment of activity of activity will be created. The teacher
should convince the head of institution to provide him required assisstance.
The teacher who are experienced should add realia into their traditional methods. They
should leave their orthodox approach and should adopt new and active methods. Realia is one of
them. Similarly they should teach students with modren and approaching techniques, as with the
passing time students wants more knowledge in short time. Realia is the technique by which you
can teach different language skills including vocabulary.
Urdu is considered as hurdle in teaching vocabulary of English. But researcher noted that
it is rumour which some people issued and published. English is an international language and it
has its own reliability and no one can deny the importance of it. So it would not be heard and
students and teachers should give equal importance to teaching and learning it.
In the last researcher would suggest that teachers should leave old approaches and should
try new and advanced approaches, realia is one of them. Most of teachers use grammar
translation method which is too much orthodox and is no more in use any where. But our
teachers still use it.
5.3.2 Recommendation for Departmental authorities
First of all researcher will recommend that department would arrange the training courses
in which language teachers should be inspired to make use of realia. They should be realized to
perform their duties more honestly and not to pass time.
Secondly realia libraries should be built up in every school while if it is not possible a
realia kit should be provided so that teachers may use it and their lessons should be more
interesting and effective.
Thirdly field trips as realia should be arranged. These trips may be of local level and
national level also. For example a teacher who is teaching about police station, he may visit his
students to police station or if a factory is their subject then their trip would lead to factory. The
teachers and head of the schools should be encouraged and facilitated.
Teachers should be provided with such material that would contain activities and skills
that use realia in natural way. And books and articles regarding realia should be provided.
Teachers should be trained in such way that they should realize realia as the part of their subject.
Department should advise teachers to provide realia in the class. The realia in the
environment may be provided easily, like house hold things, toys, doll’s house contents and
other things like vegetables and grains may be provided physically at any time. So teachers an
students may help eachother to run process of teaching effctively. So department should inspire
teachers to use realia in such way. More over department may add it as extracurricular activities.
The researcher would also tell about realia that in holy Quran Allah Taala asks people
again and again to contemplate into sun, moon, and moutains and other parts of universe. These
all things are examples of realia. So today we should not ignore it.

  • 4. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT First of all I am thankful to Allah who gave me opportunity to work on this hot issue. Then I am thankful to my Loving mother who encouraged me and my wife who inspired me to work day and night. My uncle Mr. Alamgir played his affectionate role also. With the help of all my noted relatives and friends Dr. Muhammad Qasim Ali Ph. D (scholar) and Mr. Muhammad Asif M.Phil (Scholar), I was able to complete this task. From drafting synopsis to this final stage, my sincere thanks go to my Supervisor, Mr. Saeed Ahmad Ph. D Linguistics (scholar) for his sound advice and constant encouragement. I would also like to thank the owner of Sardar Jhandeer Library, Mr. Ghulam Ahmad Jhandeer for his cooperation in completing this project.
  • 5. ABSTRACT This research was carried out in order to determine in what ways Realia contributes to teaching English language at high school level. Opinions of the teachers on the issue of Realia will be collected and be analyzed if realia is effective technique with respect to existing techniques. The research shows Realia as an effective technique that can be applied when teaching newly presented vocabulary or other language skills. It is, therefore, necessary for teachers to consider Realia when teaching since it offers a comprehensible input to high school students, and at the same time it is an effective mechanical tool to teach with the use of realia. For the long period of time different kinds of audio-video aids are being used advantageously, for teaching purposes. Realia is one of them. Description presents the appearance of an object, a place, or a person. It ows its experiencs to the observation of something concrete. A grown up learner has enough memory to retain his observation and also he has a storing imagination power to visualize his imaginary observtion before writing a description. But he can not deal easilywith abstract concepts.realia, on other hand will provide him with concrete experience. Although it has certain limitations, yet teaching with realia is the most natural way of teaching. Though it is true that certain objects cannot be brought into the classroom or they even do not exist, but we can use it, whenever the concerning object is available and possible to use. secondary school is a stage , where a student enters in youth. This is the most crucial and dynamic stage of life. The basic perception and modes of behavior start talking shape and problems of medication with the new roles in life assume decisive significance. Secondary education is of vital importance in any system of education. The position of secondary education in a society all over the world is generally paradoxical. It is expected to play a transitional and
  • 6. dynamic and interpretive role between primary education and higher education, as well to play a terminal role by providing necessary manpower for enhancing and promoting the developing of the area and country, it is the stage when boys and girls are experiencing the most demanding experience of their lives both physically and emotionally , the output of the secondary schools primarilly comprises those who want to enter in life by availing in future employment opportunities (Banny, 1990). Secondary school education provides direction and dimension towards future career. The students need more variety and awareness of different aspects of education at secondary level in order to determine their future life. The researcher decided to work on use of realia in a secondary level language class for the teaching of a foreign language. Because, Pakistan is a multilingual country. Urdu is its national language. But English is medium of instruction. And most of the institutions use it as medium of instruction. It is the language of science and technology. So students must learn English and be able use it for the purposes of their fields. There are many problems for the teachers and students of a foreign language learner and instructor. But the researcher picked up the topic of teaching vocabulary at secondary level. The basic objectives of my study are given as following. The objectives of study 1. To explore that if vocabulary teaching and learning is really a problem for both teachers and students. 2. To find out the effectiveness or realia for the teaching of vocabulary at secondary level. 3. To explore the reality whether the use of realia helps to increase the iterest of students for the teaching of vocabulary. 4. To get information that whether Urdu medium teachers facing more difficulties in
  • 7. teaching English language than English medium teachers. 5. To assess that if five senses may play a role for the teaching of a foreign language or not. 6. To find out that if realia may relate classroom to outer world. Population The population of the study consists of all secondary school teachers of District Vehari. Sample The researcher will select 100 teachers randomly for the purpose of collecting data of the present study. Researchinstrument The most well-known, questionnaire will be used as research instrument to collect the data, however the researcher will attempt to modify some of the items include in this study with the help of supervisor. Data collection Essential data collection is most suitable for this kind of descriptive survey study. The essential data will be collected from secondary school teachers. Survey data are collected by asking members of a population. The researcher will personally visit the schools and collect data from the respondents. The data will be in quantitative form. Data analysis The data will be tabulated, analyzed and interpreted category-wise. The data will be analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and appropriate statistical technique will be applied.
  • 8. CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION In education realia are objects from real life used in classroom instruction by educators 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 themselves. In many cases, these objects are part of an instructional kit which includes a manual and is thus considered as being part of a documentary whole by librarian. Realia are also used to connect learners with the key focal point of a lesson by allowing tactile and multidimensional connection between learned material and the object of the lesson. They are best utilized for simple objects lending themselves to classroom settings and ease of control with minimum risk of accident throughout the student object interaction. For many years philosophers and experts in education had the belief that the teaching of vocabulary was based only on the study of grammatical structures and rules rather than the acquisition of new lexical items. Clearly, vocabulary learning was omitted and suppressed by predominant and out-of-date approaches, which were influenced by grammar and translation procedures solely. Regardless the fact that the teaching of vocabulary can seem a very daunting process especially when talking about a foreign language , many linguists and methodologists have attempted to give emphasis on how it should be taught and learned. The main reason of the latter is that the ways in which words are presented by the teacher, could have a great impact on students’ motivation to learn a foreign language. Evidently, these days, the real concern has to do
  • 9. more with the function of a language and its practical and everyday use for communication. In other words, the techniques used to present vocabulary should contribute to make learning more enduring and long-lasting. Along with that, no word should be taught isolated, but in a context Where students can understand the real use of the word and make connections with other words belonging to the same group or inserted in the same situation. Essentially, the context and frequency of words in a language is what teachers should consider at the time they present a new word or group of words. 1.1. EFL IN PAKISTANI CLASSROOMS English language teaching situation is no more satisfactory in Pakistan. In Thailand, English language is taught mainly by Thai native teachers and English appears to be taught through the Thai language as the medium of instructions. The lessons are limited to grammatical points and comprehension reading which require heavy explanations in Thai. The same situation is in Pakistan. Moreover, many language teachers have been used to the traditional style of language teaching since the time they themselves were school students and found it too difficult to change. Due to the fact that the students only study English to pass examinations, they are not well- motivated and are deprived of the opportunities to practice English in real life situations. They are not able to communicate effectively in English due to numerous factors. It is taught as Literature oriented subject. And mostly its linguistic aspects are ignored. Examinations are designed not to assess linguistics ability of students but to assess their memory status of few Specific essays, stories, letters and other contents of already prepared books. And they are awarded marks, divisions and grades on their memory status not on their linguistic ability. Teachers mostly focus on to teach literature, grammar and parts of speech while comprehension and practice of language is ignored. They always force students to mug up some specific essays
  • 10. and translation of paragraphs and other contents. So students rely on helping books and text books and never try to attempt some creative work. So students always prepare for exams and never learn language for future use. So standard of language remains always unsatisfactory. Another notable thing is that student’s vocabulary level is very weak. This situation is noted by researcher even at secondary level. So researcher’s whole focus will be on the improvement of vocabulary with the use of realia. And research will be made about the effectiveness of use of realia in teaching of vocabulary at secondary level. 1.2. RELIA IN AN EFL/ESLCLASSROOM The use of realia is a commonplace in the EFL/ESL classroom and is widely considered to have great value in fostering an active teaching-learning environment. By presenting information through diverse media, realia helps to make English language input as comprehensive possible and to build “ an associative bridge between the classroom and world” (Heaton, 1979). As Berwald (1987) notes, realia “are not only a series of artifacts that describe the customs and traditions of culture, but they are also a set of teaching aids that facilitates the simulation of experience in the target culture”. Realia provides language learners with multi- sensory impression of the language which, as Rivers (1983) notes is “learned partly at least through seeing, hearing, touching, and manipulating” items. And interaction with authentic materials aids in contextually grounding instruction by bringing students into contact with language as it is used in the target culture in order to meet actual communication needs. The use of realia, then, can enhance linguistic and cultural comprehensibility, which are both prerequisites for real language learning. 1.3. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
  • 11. Relaia kits for the learning provide students with life like replicas of everyday items ideal for teaching various languages and life like competencies. Abstract concepts come to life as students participate in “hands-on” activities by using Realia. Each kit had been designed to target a specific life skill competency for all language levels. Items in the kits have been carefully selected to provide a variety of activities and are durable for lengthy classroom handling. All kits come with easy to carry tote bags and suggested activities for instruction. This research will be conducted to assess the effectiveness of use of realia for the teaching of vocabulary at secondary level. 1.4. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY The present study is with following objectives: • Determine in what ways realia contribute to language learning among secondary school students. • Determine the impact of realia on secondary school learners’ motivation • Determine the effectiveness of realia as a technique for language skills teaching • State the ways where realia could be applied as a methodological tool • Identify the relationship between the five senses and the language learning process by the use of realia. 1.5. RESEARCHQUESTION • In what ways does realia contribute to language teaching at secondary school level? 1.6. SPECIFIC QUESTIONS • How effective can the use of realia prove to be a good technique?
  • 12. • In what ways can realia be used as an effective methodology? • How closely are the senses related to vocabulary learning by means of realia? 1.7. DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY  This study is delimited to 100 teachers of District Vehari and both male and female teachers will be included for the study.  This research will be specified for vocabulary teaching and both female and male teachers of secondary classes will be participated
  • 13. CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW 2. ACQUIRING OF A LANGUAGE Human being is the only animal who can speak and is able to convey information with use of tongue, while other animals make use of their tongue in limited way. Process of learning of language starts as for as child grows more than six months of his age. In accordance with Lewis (2007), “learning” is the “cognitive process of acquiring skill or knowledge”. Under this statement, learning is alleged as the action of gaining information not only from the classroom realm, but also from practical events in everyday life. By doing this, the new information becomes part of the way individuals think or behave. Teachers are the ones who have the possibility to identify observable behaviors from learners when teaching. This viewpoint is supported by Robert Gagne (1965), a well-known American teacher, who held that conditions of learning are the various sets of observable conditions that can be set up for learning to occur. Furthermore, Gagne distinguishes between two types of conditions, “internal and external”. However, when talking about teaching, the internal conditions are associated with learners’ own " states", in which attention, motivation and recall are included. According to Gagne, “learning is progressive, and in that it occurs progressively it does so by way of a learning hierarchy”. As a progressive process, learning is developed steadily through a series of states that can be arranged into different stages. In order to illustrate what has
  • 14. been mentioned previously, Gagne proposed the phases of learning, which are presented as follows: • Phase I: Receiving the stimulus situation • Phase II: Stage of acquisition • Phase III: Storage • Phase IV: Retrieval From the list of phases shown above, it can be contingent that learning occurs starting with the first reactions to the motivation, which is a response to something new. Being the stimulus received primarily, individuals get the knowledge, skills, etc. from what has been introduced. In order to make clear the concept of storage, Gains (1986) suggested that some insights must be considered so as to get an understanding of how the learning process works: “It seems that learning new items involve storing them first in our short-16 term memory, and afterwards in long-term memory. First, retention in short-term memory is not effective if the number of chunks of information exceeds seven. Therefore, this suggests that in a given class we should not aim at teaching more than this number. However, our long-term memory can hold any amount of information”. From the statement indicated formerly, the new skill or knowledge should be put into practice, due to the fact that by doing this, the new information is incorporated into the long-term memory, otherwise it may be lost. When learning is accomplished, learners are capable of accessing information in memory. Bearing in mind Piaget’s Stages of Development (1936), emerges the idea of restructuring the teaching methodologies and techniques towards a teaching aimed at the method something is taught rather than what is taught. This premise is supported by Piaget as the cognitive development of human beings, in which individuals learn through memorable
  • 15. experiences by interacting with the environment. The ways in which these experiences are encountered or presented to the individuals are essential in their cognitive and learning process. 2.1. ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE When talking about foreign language learning, the Natural Approach was developed by Krashen and Terrell (1983). They maintained that this approach emphasized “Comprehensible Input”, and at the same time, it made a distinction between ‘acquisition’ and ‘learning’. Being the former regarded as “a natural subconscious process and the latter a conscious process”. On top of that, these theorists argued that the language learning process could not result in acquisition. The Natural approach whose basis was on meaning, not form, emphasizes the idea that the more visualization and recreational activities are applied in the language classroom, the better learners acquire a foreign language on the basis of a natural evolution. Due to the fact that the students only study English to pass examinations, they are not well-motivated and are deprived of the opportunities to practice English in real life situations. They are not able to communicate effectively in English due to numerous factors. 2.2. AUDIO VISUAL AIDS Audio visual is the term made up of two words audio means related to sounds and visuals are related to watchable things. Any material other than printed books used for educational purposes are considered audio visual aids. Many experts defined it in their own ways. Visual aids are used to increase the effectiveness of classroom teaching-learning process (Joshi, 1995). Three reports by George; Sheth; and Sonar (all cited in Vissa, 1994) reported that the use of audio-visual aids enhances learning. From the survey of Bharadwaj (cited in Vissa, 1994), it was clear that the availability of teaching aids is a pre-requisite for their use in teaching.
  • 16. In a study by Vissa (1994), it was found that the use of visual aids helped better teaching; and a variety of teaching aids brought about stimulus variation that is essential to sustain students' attention. Different experts define audio visual aids in different ways. Some of them are given as for example. Kinder S. James narrates Audio visual aids are any device which can be used to make the learning experience more concrete, more realistic and more dynamic. Burton explains audio visual aids are those sensory objects or images which initiate or stimulate and reinforce learning. Carter.v.Good says that audio visual aids are those aids which help in completing the triangular process of learning that is motivation, classification and stimulation. Good’s dictionary of education defines that audio visual aids are anything by means of which learning process may be encouraged or carried on through the sense of hearing or sense of sight. Edger Dale: audio visual aids are those devices by the use of which communication of ideas between persons and groups in various teaching and training situations is helped. These are also termed as multi sensory materials. McKean and Roberts says that audio visual aids are supplementary devices by which the teacher, through the utilization of more than one sensory channel is able to clarify, establish and correlate concepts, interpretations and appreciations. KP. Neeraja says that an audio visual aid is an instructional device in which the message can be heard as well as seen. But brief definition of Audio visual aids is present in the Anna Curtis chalinder, Ej D and Irene F cipher’s book AUDIO VISUAL TECHNIQUES FOR THE ENRICHMENT OF CURRICULUM. The authors' conception of audio-visual enrichment is not a narrow-minded attitude, but "entails a grasp of the inter- relationship of various areas in the curriculum and the care- full selection of these aids which are so potent in enriching them.
  • 17. 2.3. THE TEXTBOOKS Text books are not good source of visual aids. Because it contains limited information about the subject. Penny Ur (1996: 184-5) gives some reasons for and against the use of a textbook. In favor of using a textbook she mentions the sense of structure and progress, its use as a syllabus, its being ready-made, its price (which sometimes is not so reasonable or affordable), its convenience as a package, its guidance help for teachers and that it gives the learner some degree of autonomy. Against using a textbook, she mentions its homogeneity and inadequacy for individual needs and objectives, its irrelevance and lack of interest in many occasions, its limitation of initiative and creativity, its homogeneity and its over-easiness. 2.4. HUMAN BEING’S SENSORY SYSTEM Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC) is credited with the traditional classification of the five sense organs: sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. As far back as the 1760's, the famous philosopher Immanuel Kant proposed that our knowledge of the outside world depends on our modes of perception. In order to define what is "extrasensory" we need to define what is "sensory". Each of the 5 senses consists of organs with specialized cellular structures that have receptors for specific stimuli. These cells have links to the nervous system and thus to the brain. Sensing is done at primitive levels in the cells and integrated into sensations in the nervous system. Sight is probably the most developed sense in humans, followed closely by hearing.
  • 18. Senses are physiological capacities of organisms that provide data for perception. As Punta Arenas suggests “The senses and their operation, classification, and theory are overlapping topics studied by a variety of fields, most notably neuroscience, cognitive psychology (or cognitive science)”. The nervous system has a specific sensory system or organ, dedicated to each sense. Humans have a multitude of senses. Sight (ophthalmoception), hearing (audioception), taste (gustaoception), smell (olfacoception or olfacception), and touch (tactioception) are the five traditionally recognized. While the ability to detect other stimuli beyond those governed by the traditional senses exists, including temperature (thermoception), kinesthetic sense (proprioception), pain (nociception), balance (equilibrioception), and various internal stimuli (e.g. the different chemoreceptors for detecting salt and carbon dioxide concentrations in the blood), only a small number of these can safely be classified as separate senses in and of themselves. What constitutes a sense is a matter of some debate, leading to difficulties in defining what exactly a sense is. These senses have been divided into two types functionally. 1. Mechanical sensory organs 2. Chemical sensory organs First three senses are mechanical functionally and two others are chemical ones. These senses are directly connected with mind and information is transported through ions (sodium ions, calcium ions) which occur in neurons. Sight is connected with eyes. This is the most powerful and important part of body. Most of learning and acquisition depends on sight. Ears are the organ which is used to hear the sounds. This is another organ which receives information related to sounds. Most of information is received through ears after sight. Touch is another way
  • 19. to receive information from outside environment. The most part of this organ lies in skin. The example is that when we test if something is hard or soft we feel it by touching. Similarly pressure and temperature stimulation is also on the part of touch. Chemical sensory devices are taste and smell. When we want to know that whether something is delicious or not we get this information by taste. Moreover the taste of different things is known for information by tongue. Another chemical sense is smell. It is another source of getting important information available in human body. This is found in nose. Someone may feel that fragrance of flower is worth smelling and smell of decay of an animal is unpleasant to mind. This research may include use all these senses for teaching of English in an EFL classroom. 2.5. REALIA Nunan (1999) defines Realia as “objects and teaching props from the world outside the classroom that are used for teaching and learning”. Under this statement, realia is considered as real objects, which are used to aid in practicing a new language, as a way to present meaningful examples from the real world. Along with this idea, the British Council site states that “realia refers to any real objects we use in the classroom to bring the class to life. Richards and Platt (1998) regards realia as “actual objects and items which are brought into a classroom as examples or as aids to be talked or written about and used in language teaching such as: articles of clothing, kitchen utensils, items of food, etc.” , while Zukowsky and Faust (1997) contemplate it as “concrete objects and the paraphernalia of everyday life” .
  • 20. According to Wikipedia “In education, realia (pronunciation reel-ee-ah) are objects from real life used in classroom instruction by educators 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.” While Saima Abid (2007) narrates that realia are three dimensional things and other things like flash cards, charts, and photos etc are two dimensional ones. Examples of realia are models and mockups which are three dimensional things. Realia materials offer a reality of experience, which are not easily obtained through other materials and contribute to the efficiency, depth and variety of learning, which stimulate self- activity on the part of pupils (Ibe-Bassey, 2000). Realia are concrete objects and the paraphernalia of everyday life. (Zukowski-Faust, 1997 2.6. REALIA AND HUMAN SENSORY SYSTEM In language learning process human being depends on these five senses. As mobshom (1997) indicates that “our sensory systems are like little scientists that generates hypothesis about the world”. Sight will function when your eyes open and they take in what’s around you. Then it is sent to your brain, therefore you are able to see. As you breathe, anything that is in the air that you take in enters your nasal cavity: hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, dust, pollen, chemicals. You don’t “smell” air or dust or pollen, but you can smell chemicals. The olfactory cells are chemoreceptor’s, which means the olfactory cells have protein receptors that can detect subtle differences in chemicals.
  • 21. The senses of smell and taste work closely together. If you cannot smell something, you cannot taste it, either. Taste buds on your tongue contain chemoreceptors that work in a similar fashion to the chemoreceptors in the nasal cavity. However, the chemoreceptors in the nose will detect any kind of smell, whereas there are four different types of taste buds, and each detects different types of tastes: sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. The ear not only is the organ of hearing, but it also is responsible for maintaining equilibrium — or balance. To maintain equilibrium, the ear must detect movement. To hear, the ear must respond to mechanical stimulation by sound waves. The skin contains general receptors. These receptors can detect touch, pain, pressure, and temperature. Throughout your skin, you have all four of these receptors interspersed. Skin receptors gain an impulse when activated, which is carried to the spinal cord and then to the brain. The best relationship is narrated by Stice(1987). He says that “students retains 10 percent of what they read, 26 percent of what they hear, 30 percent of what they see and hear 70 percent of what they say, and 90 percent of what they say as they do something”.. 2.7. WHY REALIA SHOULD BE USED? “You don't understand anything until you learn it more than one way”. Marvin Minsky , (1987).The main advantage of using realia objects into classroom is to make the learning experience more memorable for the learner. They can also serve as a springboard for a discussion of underlying cultural values , beliefs, and behavior as well as provide an often non- lanuage-dependent means of introducing student to the lesson topoc (Short 1991). Further, there is evidence that through the use of realia teachers may increase the number of student resposes (Waltz, 1986) and, therefore, overall participation and iterest in learning activities.
  • 22. To give a couple of simple examples, if you are going to teach vocabulary of fruit and vegetables it can be much more affective for students if they can touch, smell and see the objects at the same time as daring the new word. This would appeal to a wider range of learner styles than a simple flashcard Picture if the piece of fruit of vegetable.(with very young learners, classroom management can become trickier if you bring in real objects as excitement levels tend to rise. Last time one of my students bit into an onion we were passing round. I am sure he hasn't forgotten that class!) By presenting information through diverse media, realia helps to make English language input as comprehensible as possible and to build “an associative bridge between the classroom and the world”(Heaten,1979). As Berwald (1987) notes, realia “are not only a series of artifacts that describe the coxtoms and traditions of a culture, but they are also a set of teaching aids that facilitates the simultation of experience in the target culture”. Realia provides language learners with multisensory impressions of the language which, as Rivers (1983) notes is “learned partly at least through seeing, hearing, touching, and manipulateing” items. A second example would be if you are going to teach some functional language for asking for the timetable for a train. You could use a fictitious timetable or you could use a real one from the local train station, one from the Internet, of if you’re really organized, some you brought back from your last trip to the Vehari. In this way you expose students to more language than simply the times and destinations. They will see information’s about prices and discounts, bank holidays etc. 2.8. COLLECTING REALIA KIT MATERIAL
  • 23. Many children in today’s classrooms struggle with the English language. Some come from homes where a foreign language is spoken; others simply have not developed a large enough academic vocabulary to thrive in the classroom. In either case, many children are at risk because of their limited English vocabularies. Realia—miniature objects that resemble their real- world counterparts provide an excellent tool to help these children develop essential English vocabulary. Realia enhance meaning and make vocabulary more concrete and, therefore, more comprehensible. Primary Concepts grants teachers’ permission to project, print or copy the reproducible pages from this Realia kit for classroom use only. Permission is limited to the teacher for whom the eBook was purchased. One copy may be stored on a hard drive or retrieval system, but no other part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the publisher. Primary Concepts has been collecting miniature objects for use in the classroom since 1984. At that time, its founders, Ruth Ingram and Ilsa Perse, mailed their first catalog of treasures for the classroom under the name Concepts to Go. Over the years, the Primary Concepts warehouse has grown to house over 5,000 objects. Teachers have learned to depend on Primary Concepts to provide the most appealing, realistic miniatures for language development, phonics concepts, and number work in both Spanish and English. Keeping supplies of these small miniatures is no easy task, requiring the efforts of a full staff of specialists. We feel it is worth the effort, however, to provide teachers with these highly motivating, hands-on learning tools. When the company was in its first year of business, a teacher who saw our early math activity, Count-a-Dog, said, “These dogs make children want to count!” Just as the dogs motivate children to count, the thousands of other adorable objects (realia) make children want to talk, read, and spell. Teachers use realia for a variety of oral language and vocabulary
  • 24. development activities: sorting, acting out stories and songs, and so on. With this guidebook, we have compiled our favorite language lessons for use with miniatures. If you are new to the wonderful world of realia, this guidebook will offer our best tips for keeping your objects organized and ready for use in your lessons. Once you see how rich your daily language lessons become when you incorporate miniatures, you will wonder how you lived without them. You may wish to purchase a collection of miniatures for language development from Primary Concepts or begin collecting your own. Good places to look are party stores, toy stores; craft supply stores, and fabric stores. Supplement the bought items with objects you can find around the house, such as a rock or a stone, a piece of wood, a nail, a screw, a paper clip, a button, a snap, and so on. The best objects are realistic and three-dimensional and they need to be safe for classroom use (e.g., no sharp edges). Try to collect a variety of objects from these categories: a. Animals b. kitchen play sets c. Dolls sports equipment d. Doll clothing accessories tools e. Doll house furniture toys f. Foods g. vehicles
  • 25. For a few activities, you will want to have a set of objects—such as frogs, cats, dogs, horses, snakes, or fish—in which each member of the set is slightly different. A set of fish, for example, could have different colors, shapes, sizes, textures, or patterns. These sets are good for language lessons in which children describe the differences among the individuals in the set. Collecting realia can be a continuous pursuit. Once you have a basic collection, you may want to keep looking for more obscure items that would be useful in your teaching. 2.9. COMPARISON OF REALIA AND AUDIO VISUAL AIDS Audio visual aids are related to first two mechanical senses. When something is introduced other than text books and that is watched e.g. film, flash cards, charts etc. or audio cassettes and other audio aids are used to teach something than students use sight to watch and ears to hear. These two things are said to be audio visual aids. They put students to use maximum extent of sight and hearing. So audio visual aids is useful to teach language and helpful to both teachers and students. Audio Visual AIDS are materials using sight or sound to present informing. To use Audio/Visual Aids in teaching we have to bridge the gap between the different types of learners by adding audio/visual aides to your teaching techniques. Implement 'show and tell' sessions to promote student involvement. Provide audio/visual aides to demonstrate mathematical concepts to students because this will help students learn to think of complicated material in a practical way. Watch videos and movies that reinforce lesson plans. Invite guest speakers to help students learn concepts. Realia allows students to use their senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch) to connect words with their meaning, thus making them more memorable. For young learners in particular it's a very useful tool to make real in their mind what, at the beginning, might come across as abstract. For example, as a teacher you can stand at the front of the class and explain the
  • 26. word beetle to your class for ten minutes. The students will listen and then slowly being to understand what you mean. Hopefully. Many will then translate it into their mother tongue and write down the English and the translation in their exercise book. 2.10. USE OF REALIA IN EFL CLASS ROOM Oxford R. L. held that teachers may balance their teaching methods, somehow structuring the class so that all learning styles are at a time accommodated, so as to achieve effective foreign language learning. Realia may be used to teach vocabulary in different ways. Paredes Oyarzo (2008) gives a comparative chart which shows the activities of student teacher interaction in classroom. “This comparative chart shows some of the most common techniques that can be used with realia”. This chart involves interaction between student and teacher and material used in such interaction. Realia in the classroom Technique What do learners do? What does tacher do? Material used Role play Learner perform a situation Teacher creates a scenario. In which learners have to perform accordingly. Materials promote and encourage communication in a real-like setting. Concentration Learners,instead of saying their own names, of an object, which is given them. Teacher gives an object to learners and waits for their answers. Any object ‘ {such as classroom objects or items of clothing.} Sitting in a circle,
  • 27. Drilling learners pass on object to their classmates on their left. They say the names of the object, and then they pass the object to the next learner. Teacher monitors how the students work on the activity. Objects from everyday life, such as fruit, utensils or articles of clothing. 2.11. TEACHING VOCABULARY BY USING REALIA KIT Without any doubt, in foreign language teaching learners and teachers are continually in contact with vocabulary. As stated by Hatch and Brown (1995), vocabulary is defined as “the list of words that speakers of a particular language use”. This means that the use of vocabulary plays a predominant role in or to make communication successful no matter what language is being referred to. Whether you are a teacher or a student, the images in the realia project can serve as an excellent resource. Within you will find digitized realia, pictures of everyday items and situations familiar to a given culture, that can enhance the teaching and learning experience at all language levels, in culture courses or in preparation for travel abroad. Brown (2001: 143) writes that “realia are probably the oldest form of classroom aid, but their effectiveness in helping students connect language to reality cannot be underestimated.” Salaberri (1995) highlights the value of realia to teach vocabulary or as prompts in oral or written interactions and she suggests some activities to do with realia: follow instructions, guess the objects, classify objects, “odd one out” or “find someone who”. Many types of activities can be designed around or enhanced by images. The suggestions below can serve as a facilitator for a variety of activities
  • 28. be they instructor-led, student driven or extracurricular. Many can be done orally or as written assignments. 2.10.1.IDENTIFICATION Describe the objects, persons, places, and actions depicted in the photograph. What colors and spatial relations are evident? 2.10.2. ELABORATION What questions do the photos encourage you to ask? Do the photos relate to historical or current events? To cultural or social issues. 2.10.3.CONTEXTUALIZATION Focus on comparisons of places through time, especially photos of objects or buildings of historical significance, e.g., a photo of the Dehli Gate Multan for a discussion of old and new Multan or the Cold War. Even a photo of a more common object such as a candy wrapper or cereal box can demonstrate that every culture is in flux. 2.10.4. COMPARISON Use our Compare Viewer in the “My Favorites” sections to illustrate a pair of photos. Devise descriptions or comparisons that go beyond those included with the photos.

Primarily the search was focused on finding a research in which realia has been subjected to study so as to verify its effectiveness. During my search I found the research of Miss Saima Abid (2007) . This study was similar to present study as major tool A questionnaire was developed for the collection of raw data. The main characteristics of this study are as under. Teachers of secondary school were selected from district Vehari and were chosen to perform this study. As this study was conducted to know the effectiveness of realia for the teaching of vocabulary. The level was secondary. As in our rural and urban areas the problems are different for the teachers. So teachers were selected from both such areas. The research of Miss Saima Abid was carried out in Rawalpindi the civilized and better educated area of Pakistan. While this study will be conducted in district Vehari. Which is relatively backward and with fewer facilities. And teachers would be less facilitated during their training then earlier research. The earlier research was conducted on primary school teachers while the present will be on secondary school teachers. Moreover another characteristic of the study is that female and male teachers from whole district were participated. So that more better results would be achieved. All the teachers were

  • 62. question of my research. CHAPTER 5 5. SUMMARY A teacher of a foreign language often employs realia to strengthen students association between words for everyday objects and the objects themselves in many cases, these objects are the part of an instructional kit which includes a manual and is thus considered as being part of a documentary whole by librarians. Realia are also used to connect learners with the key focal point of a lesson by allowing tactile and multidimensional connection between learned materail and the object of the lesson. They are best utilized for simple objects lending themselves to classroom setting and ease of control with minimum risk of accident throughout the student object interaction. Realizing the importance of realia in an EFL classroom the researcher decided to work on this very hot issue that whether realia may play any role in teaching of vocabulary at secondary level. The researcher designed a questionnaire and distributed it among very competent teachers of his population of District Vehari. The researcher during his research visited these teachers and briefed them about the topic. He also attended refresher courses and training courses conducted by education department. Moreover workshops of B.Ed conducted by AIOU at Government Model High School Tehsil Mailsi were also visited by researcher.

Another thing that was noted that most of the teachers were very qualified. Most of the teachers were M.A. While six M.Phil teachers were also working in different schools of Dist. Vehari. But when it was asked that if they use realia, they give negative remarks. Which seems lack of professionalism? Most of the teachers were even not familiar with term “realia”. The researcher was shocked. 5. It is the need of the every school to build up a realia library. It will be useful for teachers. And most of the problems with vocabulary teaching will be solved. 6. Realia is easy to handle, it was the answer of mostly teachers. While some told that it is not possible. Some realia are too big and some are too small to overcome. But their models are affordable. 7. Realia helps to make lessons interesting and long lasting. 8. Realia trips will be also helpful and informative for students if they are arranged. But few teachers did not agree because they are time taking and costly. 9. Most of the teachers told that they have learnt about realia in their professional training courses. But most of them were not naming these things as “realia”. Realia is already used in most of private schools, some semi govt. schools. Govt. schools teachers are not using it regularly. But some teachers use it. 10. Another noteworthy thing come forward that most of teachers accepted that realia enhances learning capability of students and flourishes memory of students. Moreover it also stimulates
  • 65. the mind of students to work better. 11. It was another fact that was noted realia may be better than audio visual aids. Because the scope of audio visual aids is too much limited. And it is difficult to provide every school of the district, while realia are very easily available and every teacher can provide it. Because most of realia is available everywhere in the environment. 12. Realia inspires the students to use their five senses to learn something. So it is need of the hour to use realia and it should be included in language teaching courses like sceince and technology. 13. During the research the researcher visited refresher courses and training cousrses of primary and secondary school teachers. Researcher was pleased that most of the trainer was using realia but this practice was in very limited way. But in the class room this practice is not entertained which is not reasonable. 14. Realia is essential part of science subjects of secondary level but it is disappointing that it is given no importance in language courses. 15. Some teachers told interesting occasions of their long services in education department but they told that their officers and executives did not seems to be pleased with their such activities in the classroom. 16. Realia plays the role of bridge between classroom and outer world. Its usage in the classroom gives the impression of a beautiful garden, a village, or a populated city. So realia would be highly useful to teach in real life situation. 17. Heads of the department’s institutions are mostly older and orthodox persons. Their way of thinking and approach is very weak. They are not active in school activities. They are mostly promoted and seem not interested in modern approaches.
  • 66. 18. During the research, the researcher interacted with the students. Some were very active, intelligent and highly genius, while some students were very weak. But realia appealed both type of students. 19. The problems with vocabulary teaching are same whether you are teaching in English medium schools or Urdu medium schools. The teachers of both medium seem to confused and mostly their answers were same. 20. During the research researcher visited female schools. The female teachers were telling their problems that it is not possible for them to visit girls to factories and fields. So realia should be in concise form. 5.3. RECOMMENDATIONS 5.3.1. Recommendation for the teachers Most of the teachers seem to be confused during the research. Firstly they should improve their confidence level. They should be professional as most of the teachers accepted that their department directed them to use realia. But in most of schools researcher did not noted the practice of use of realia. They should pay more attention to their duties and responsibilities. They should realize that they are the builders of nation. Teachers should try to make their lesson more interesting and comprehensive. They should inspire the learners by using proper audio visual aids. It is relevant to say that in the light of the facts mentioned above, realia has not been given the importance it should have as an effective technique. Indeed, realia cannot simply be regarded as one or more techniques, but it should be recognized as a valid and efficacious means for the students to store the words easily in their minds.
  • 67. Language teaching will become interesting if realia is used. And if teachers want to make their lessons better, more comprehensive and long lasting they should make use of realia. It is not necessary that department should take interest for field trips, teachers may arrange such trips at local places, factories, agricultural forms, dairy forms and shopping malls. Such small field trips may be seasonal and off and on. The head of institution should also be interested for such trips. The teachers who are recently entering in the field of teaching they should adopt realia as an effective technique. it will be extremely fruit ful to them. Because it is the technique which they can adopt at their own risk and students would help og them and they may help the teacher in providing realia. In this way an environment of activity of activity will be created. The teacher should convince the head of institution to provide him required assisstance. The teacher who are experienced should add realia into their traditional methods. They should leave their orthodox approach and should adopt new and active methods. Realia is one of them. Similarly they should teach students with modren and approaching techniques, as with the passing time students wants more knowledge in short time. Realia is the technique by which you can teach different language skills including vocabulary. Urdu is considered as hurdle in teaching vocabulary of English. But researcher noted that it is rumour which some people issued and published. English is an international language and it has its own reliability and no one can deny the importance of it. So it would not be heard and students and teachers should give equal importance to teaching and learning it. In the last researcher would suggest that teachers should leave old approaches and should try new and advanced approaches, realia is one of them. Most of teachers use grammar translation method which is too much orthodox and is no more in use any where. But our teachers still use it.
  • 68. 5.3.2 Recommendation for Departmental authorities First of all researcher will recommend that department would arrange the training courses in which language teachers should be inspired to make use of realia. They should be realized to perform their duties more honestly and not to pass time. Secondly realia libraries should be built up in every school while if it is not possible a realia kit should be provided so that teachers may use it and their lessons should be more interesting and effective. Thirdly field trips as realia should be arranged. These trips may be of local level and national level also. For example a teacher who is teaching about police station, he may visit his students to police station or if a factory is their subject then their trip would lead to factory. The teachers and head of the schools should be encouraged and facilitated. Teachers should be provided with such material that would contain activities and skills that use realia in natural way. And books and articles regarding realia should be provided. Teachers should be trained in such way that they should realize realia as the part of their subject. Department should advise teachers to provide realia in the class. The realia in the environment may be provided easily, like house hold things, toys, doll’s house contents and other things like vegetables and grains may be provided physically at any time. So teachers an students may help eachother to run process of teaching effctively. So department should inspire teachers to use realia in such way. More over department may add it as extracurricular activities. The researcher would also tell about realia that in holy Quran Allah Taala asks people again and again to contemplate into sun, moon, and moutains and other parts of universe. These
