CULTURAL REALIAS AS TOOLS FOR INTEGRATION OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

The integration of cultural realias into English language education has proven to enhance learners' proficiency by exposing them to authentic contexts. This study examines the role of cultural realias—such as visual aids, texts, artefacts, and multimedia—in promoting linguistic competence and cross-cultural understanding. Results indicate that using these materials improves vocabulary retention, cultural awareness, and engagement. The paper concludes that cultural realias are indispensable in English language teaching, fostering both linguistic and cultural integration.
