  Smith - Virtual Realia (I-TESL-J)
As Berwald (1987) notes, realia "are not only a series of artifacts that describe the customs and traditions of a culture, but they are also a set of teaching aids that facilitate the simulation of experience in the target culture" (my italics).
Realia provides language learners with multi-sensorary impressions of the language which, as Rivers (1983) notes is "learned partly at least through seeing, hearing, touching, and manipulating" items.
Whereas traditional realia is linear in nature, when transferred to a more interactive and flexible medium, Virtual Realia merges an established technique with the new educational technologies in bringing culturally-based authentic materials into EFL classrooms worldwide.

 TEFL.NET ESL Teacher Forums :: View topic - How can I use realia in class?
Realia (real objects) can be used in many ways in the classroom; for example to liven up a presentation in a coursebook, to practise vocabulary and structures.
Realia is very memorable for students and can serve to involve them more in the lesson.
Realia can also be used to develop a description or story - e.g.

The use of realia for teaching and instruction also goes back to our very beginnings; for by their nature, objects are the essence of the real world and the optimal means of teaching about it.
Such instances of dealing with realia as part of classroom instruction helped pave the way for their acceptance in the school and school media center as viable means of communicating what print and paper could not.
The disadvantages of realia are also found in their nature: even though they are part of the world, the world cannot be fully brought to the learning situation along with the object.

Another reason for using realia in the classroom is to ensure that the students truly acquire the vocabulary being taught.
Science Vocabulary through Realia use Rasinski states that “the phrase ‘experience is the best teacher’ is certainly true in vocabulary learning.” He says that the best way to learn vocabulary is through the use of indirect, vicarious experiences that are interesting and meaningful to the students (cited in Reutzel & Cooter 2000).
Though the use of realia in the classroom appears to benefit language learners more, it is equally helpful to less able and advanced learners by giving them a background knowledge and experience to rely on.

The jacket blurb claims that Realia explores "how ancient myth still feeds the heart of pop culture." I doubt, though, that Greek myth has much influence on Japanese pop culture (or on Western), and I see no evidence in the book itself that Aitken intended to imply that there was any.
Realia is simply the story of an intelligent and vulnerable person trying to understand the world; the myth is a vehicle for Aitken's ideas and observations.
The Auction Sale, but then very little fiction is. Realia presents serious ideas in elegant, lively, and forceful style, and is decidedly worthy of the attention of you, our accomplished, intelligent, and humane readers.

Brodskij's use of typically Russian realia is not excessive.
On the other hand the words he uses are recurrent in many of his poems and serve as a special code in his poetry.
Along with direct renderings without giving footnotes (Terek is translated as Terek), Russian realia undergo dramatic changes--from paraphrasing (Terek was translated as a boisterous mountain stream in another case) to complete changing of Russian realia to English realia (pestruxa becomes Holstein and the Russian Arctic explorer Sedov becomes Scott).
