MATERIALS FOR TEACHING CULTURE: REALIA, FILMS, SIGNS

Abstract

The term "culture" is broad and includes many different things, such as traditions,
ideals, and artifacts. Using tangible and visual resources that depict various cultural
features, such as realia, films, and signage, is one of the greatest ways to teach culture.
Clothing, food, and crafts are examples of real-world items that individuals utilize on
a regular basis. Films, on the other hand, provide learners with direct access to many
cultures through visual depictions of those cultures. Posters, billboards, and other
visual signs convey cultural messages and advance intercultural harmony. These
resources can offer beneficial chances for students to interact with culture in an
immersive manner when teaching about it, allowing them to develop a deeper
knowledge.
