This unit talks about the structure of lessons. It starts by describing different methods used around the world. We then learn about one precise method called ESA (Engage Study and Activate). This method is very interesting because it is quite complete and is a mix of many different methods.
We learn about each part of the ESA method.
The first part is called Engage, we learn that in this part we have to interest the students and make the communicate, it is similar to an introduction to the lesson. We can show them a video, pictures, ask them questions....
The second part is called Study. This part is the working part where the teacher teaches grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation ..etc. The students have to work and learn using worksheets, audio materiel..etc.
The third part is called activate. This part is where students have to use what they have learnt in the Study part to produce something. it can be a debate, a poster, a magazine...etc
For each part we learn many different types of activities.
We finish the unit by learning how to correct students and when to do it.
Personally this unit was very interesting, I have learnt a lot of new ways to teach and have gotten a lot of new ideas for activities to use in my lessons.
