In this unit, the method of teaching vocabulary, grammar, and function was explored. Selecting the vocabulary to learn is a difficult task that is dependent on the appropriacy to the students and the relevant task at hand, as well as the frequency and coverage, and the teachability of the words. Similarly, the meaning, use, forms and patterns, and the spoken versus written form of the grammatical structures also need to be explored for students to understand how the grammar is supposed to be used and in what situation it is to be used. The function of a language is how it is used - for example, to invite someone, or to persuade someone to go somewhere with you. The Straight Arrow ESA method, the Boomerang ESA method, and the Patchwork ESA method are all methods that can be used to teach a lesson depending on what the focus of the lesson is.
I learned that there are many ways to explain vocabulary, grammar, and the function of language. Most importantly, I learned how to incorporate the different ESA methods to a lesson depending on what is taught.
