About

English language teachers often use realia, or authentic materials, in the classroom to engage students visually and aid in the retention of vocabulary or grammar points. In this webinar, Bridge will also look at digital realia, including what it encompasses and how it differs from traditional realia. We’ll answer questions such as how teachers can determine which type of realia is better suited to their lesson or learners and how they can use digital realia most effectively, especially to introduce games in the online ESL classroom.
