There are a number of different methodologies for language learning ranging from very structured approaches to more informal methods. Engage, Study and Activate is a successful approach that incorporates effective practice principles from a variety of methods. This approach combines formal teacher led activities with communicative opportunities for students to immerse themselves in language and culture. Communication and community is a strong theme of the ESA approach.
Engage – this initial part of the lesson is the introduction or inspiration for following parts of the lesson. There is not necessarily a teaching focus but an emphasis on engaging students to become involved and active participants.
Study – this part of the lesson focused on the intentional analysis, focus and content of language learning. New learning of vocabulary, language structures and grammar are delivered in this part of the lesson.
Activate – This part of the lesson allows students to consolidate or practise new learning.
The three ESA elements provide a balanced language learning lesson.
ESA lessons can be delivered using a variety of the ESA elements, in differing combinations.
Giving positive feedback is equally as important as correcting mistakes and errors. Mistakes and errors are not the same. Corrections can be made by the student themselves, a partner student or by the teacher.
