Using Objects and Realia in the Languages Classroom

This workshop equips participants with tools and strategies to motivate students in producing both oral and written output. Through activities such as manipulation, visual thinking, role plays, and the use of three-dimensional objects and realia, participants will learn to convey cultural elements effectively.

Participants will explore methods to use objects to capture students' attention, assign clear educational value, and enhance classroom engagement. They will also collaborate in small groups to design their own activities incorporating objects.
